[Idea] Ship Token extension

With premier of DR we got Ship Upgrade Token to modernize ours T5 ships. It was kinda useful for old players, but now new players rather to upgrade their T5 goes for T6 directly and Token starts to be useless which is sad because all work that was put in creating it.
How about expending it for other tiers, not ontly T5 -> T5-U. Why not let players to upgrade ship they like from T2 up to T6. If player want to upgrade his/her T4 Tactical Escort he/she would get option which T5 escort (Patrol or Advance) stats she/he want to obtain. Of course upgrades could be done only with compatible classes: Cruisers to cruisers, sci to sci, etc.

That way we could keep old ship skin with new stats (which will probably make Galaxy fans very happy as they could fly Galaxy-looking ship with useful layouts)

Possible upgrade path:
T2 -> T3 -> T4 -> T5 -> T5-U -> T6

    You can already use the lower-tier skins on existing higher-tier models of the same ship and vice versa (like with the various Exploration Cruisers, Long-Range Science Vessels, and Tactical Escorts).

    For example, the 'base' LRSV (T4), the Refit LRSV (T4), Retrofit LRSV (T5, upgradeable to T5U), Fleet Retrofit LRSV (T5, upgradeable to T5U), and 'Pathfinder' LRSV (T6) all have access to the same pool of skins.

    In your example - the Tactical Escort - there are all of those same options already available except that there is not a T6 version. One of my characters flies a Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit (T5U) with the 'base' Tactical Escort skin on it.

    And it's the only low tier ship which have T6 version. What if someone like fly Odyssey (or any other ship) why don't give him/her option to upgrade it to Intel or Command Odyssey?

    Maybe, but still won't give you full variety of ships and possibilities, and extending Upgrade Tokes give it to you. For example you like Voyager skin, right now you have only one T6 ship for that skin, with extended upgrade you get three ships to choose from: Pathfinder, Scryer and Dauntless. More options means more happy customers.

    As for $ thing, simple solution is to make T5-u -> T6 upgrade cost for example 4 Tokens (2k ZEN in pack) + 1 to upgrade from T5 to T5-U which in the end gave little less profit from one change then buying whole new ship, but more people would be will to get ship that way, which most probably means bigger final profit.

    I'd love to be able to upgrade my chimera to a T6. None of the current T6 ships appeal to me at all.
