Suggestion: Ship Costume unlocks and Appearance Tab

I posted this idea on the old forums and cannot find it, so I thought I'd re-post.

How about something similar to the MACO and OMEGA ground set costume options being an unlock, but for ships!

Example: I love the way Reman shields make my ship look... but I know that my MACO XII shields are way better for my style of play and in general. I'm not keen on the MACO look, so I just turn it off.
I would love to be able to USE the reman look, but have the MACO stats.

DCU Online has this setup, for any of those players/fans.

You could tie this system to set pieces, accolades, or whatever. But I think a ship APPEARANCE TAB would give that much more customization to our playerbase. Additionally, if tied to acquiring the items first, it might encourage more people to do more of the content to get the pieces to customize the look of their ship.

    The support is clearly massive! (I'm counting the silence as the entire playerbase with crossed arms quietly nodding their heads.)

    The ability to unlock appearance mods from starship equipment this way as options in the "tailor" for starships is something that I'd love to see. It might even solve the problem of ships that can separate (Galaxy, Prometheus, and Odyssey) not sharing the appearance mods across all ship sections while separated, as the current tech can handle sharing the base "tailored" appearance across all sections of a separated ship.
