Request for Mirror and IRW Prefixes

Ok so I've posted on this before and here it goes again, since last time it received a bit of support from other players. All I'm asking for/about is a simple ship designation change. Well, 2 now. First off is for all 3 factions - Why oh why can't we give our t6 ships mirror designations? I'm forced to fly around the USS Coalescence instead of the ISS Coalescence. See my issue here. Now don't get me wrong, I COULD go with the crappy t5-ish mirror variant of my beautiful t6 but that makes no sense due to the stat losses this incurs. Now in the past we've had those crappy variants in lockboxes as a fairly common (judging by the cheap prices on the exchange at the time) drop. No special consoles, no special stats. Just a different look and the ability to designate it for a mirror ship (ARW I believe for Romulan, ISS for Fed and, whatever the KDF one is). I can paint my ships to look like mirror ships, but I cant designate ISS.
Second one is on the same note but for the Romulans...I want IRW prefix for some of my ships. some will allow it, but a lot wont, only RRW or USS. Once again me being an against-the-grain character, I want IRW for all of my ships. Hopefully this gets a good response, and perhaps an inclusion in the next patch or 2. Ik Ik, devs may not give a flying frack but one can hope.
(Clarified thread title. - BMR)

The ISS, ARW, and AKS prefixes... there are some people who would love that, but its unlikely. At least you can put mirror skins on ships you have mirror variants of.
Also I wouldn't call all the mirror ships crappy. When they came out, the Mirror Vo'Quv was one of the tankiest ships in the game, and I loved my Mirror Qin Raptor.

Right back then some of them were godsends since they fixed issues the original T5s had (looking at you Negh'Var & Qin) but by today's standards they're basically just there for the admiralty cards.
I'd really love the option to unlock the mirror prefixes and hull materials for all ships. Got the mirror mogai just so I could use the hull on my morrigu.
back then they were fine. flew a mirror patrol escort around (Prometheus skin). now its crappy. even with the mirror vo'quv u talk about - key word is WAS. its not now. u also loved your mirror Quin Raptor - Again LOVED - past tense.
Having fun with my Qa'Tel though. And since its a member of the Qin family... MIRROR SKIN!

The Mirror Kitang ship is a great ship for its tier as well, having a commander, 2 LTC, and an ensign slot that are all universal. And if you own the Ch'tang BoP and equip the appearance, it gives you the permanent "wings down" combat stance when flying the ship. Very space dragon in look.

Also console layouts are part of it. I believe some of the MU ships have an alternate console layout as well.
The MU Kitang does have a different BOFF layout. A second LTC universal seat and ensign seat instead of two LT seats I think. I do know that the ship itself was able to keep up w/ T5-U ships for quite a while.

this was a 2 part. my feddy has a fleet Hestia. and yes I can paint it mirror skin, but its still USS. I want it mirror painted with ISS prefix.
The Romulan thing is just because when I want to use a common ship name I might've already used I can have one irw and one rrw.
