Please Make Reputation Ship Skins (e.g. MACO, Dyson, Etc) Reputation Project Unlocks

The costumes are already handled this way... I don't have to be wearing Honor Guard armor to have the costume option... so why make me use the MACO shield for the MACO skin? Same with Reman prototype or Dyson... please just make this a rep project that is available to any ship once you have completed the prerequisites.

    That would be nice. I'd love to use Aegis visuals on a lot of my ships but the actual stats of the set are outclassed by others.

    Agreed, why we have never had rep ship costume projects is beyond me. If it can be done for ground costumes then why not for ship, would become a must have grind for all my toons.

    I'm on board for this!

    Besides, it could also be used to unlock variant or even additional skin effects and model pieces eventually, such as the space STF boss assimilated ship bits. (Which I've coveted practically since the game first launched.)

    The tech is there, considering that the effects show in the starship customizer if enabled at the time you use it. Plus the fact that the effects were made to show up on separated Prometheus/Galaxy/Odyssey/Bortas/etc sections, which required changing the tech to store these appearances that way.

    Nice idea.

    I never used the unlocks on my toons but using visuals from various shield types would be something really cool :)

    Not just the shields, either. Each piece of ship gear that can modify a ship's appearance should be able to be unlocked in the ship editor. For example, the effects from the Borg deflector, engines, and assimilated console.

    Great idea, I would love to see this ingame, most ships out there have the same skin (wich is none - i'm referring to elite shields :D).

    easy to do and makes a big impact :D

    Oh please remove reputation project unlocks! PLEASE

    Remove the REP! Remove the REP! Remove the REP!

    Id rather pay for materials in the Cstore then having to grind for it. (dont get me wrong, i do have tier 5 rep on all toons.)

    I agree with this also.

    By the way, why is there a Ship Costume in the C-Store with only just the NX prefix? It's kind of odd not to see anything else.

    This would be a perfect place to put it. C-Store or Reputation unlocks.

    the ship costume section used to hold all kinds of ship costumes. notice the uniqe exterior of fed fleet ships? those exteriors used to be C-store skins before fleet ships were introduced

    I don't care if it's reputation, c-store or what, but I would really like to see a way to display shield visuals on a given ship without having to use a particular shield item.
