Proposal: Starship Specialization Tokens

This is an idea that came up in another thread, and I decided to expand on it.
In essence, this idea is to allow players to add a specialization to their starship, similar to how Specialization Qualifications for Bridge Officers work. Theses tokens (or whatever you may call them, I couldn't come up with a better name) would grant a starship the built-in Starship Mechanics of either Intel, Command, Pilot or Temporal Starships. They would NOT grant hybrid BOff slots, or anything else beyond these abilities, and only one should be active at a time. They should either be craftable after having spent all possible points in the specialization desired, or be purchasable from either the Dil store or the C-Store.
What do you guys think?

This runs the risk of being useless or broken. I'd rather not have either.

Sorry, I just can't see how this wouldn't be a massive amount of work while simultaneously putting the game in a worse position, across the board.
@baddmoonrizin : How would it cut into ship sales? Because if it would, it would definitely be a bad idea.
@szerontzur : Cloak is actually not an inherent Intel starship ability, only Gather Intel and Warp Signature Masking are.

cloak, or better cloak if it would normally have cloak, is one of the things that makes intel spec ship, intel spec ships. that why delta lunched with feds getting a bunch of ships with cloak.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Cloak is not exclusive to Intel ships, however.

and that matters why? full intel ships by definition have cloak.
if you don't believe me, heres the blog: arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7004273-tier-6-intel-starships
so any token to upgrade to full intel have to add/upgrade cloak and add gather intel/Expose Vulnerability.
way too much work and would cost sells down the line. and that just intel.

I believe you. Yes, all Intel ships so far had Cloak. I would not want this token to add Cloak however, since this would mean that (almost) any ship could get Cloak. Let me reiterate: I primarily had this in mind for T6 ships that lack the inherent abilites of Intel, Command, Pilot, and Temporal starships. I've always wondered why, for example, the T6 flagship cruisers lack the "Inspiration" abilities of the Command cruisers. Because having them would really fit a ship with a "flagship" role.
