Skinning

[Error]

I've brough this up before and wanted to do so again. Considering the different groups we have in Disco, even within the same ID's (multiple factions of Sairs, Zoners, Outcasts, etc), each is unique in it's own way.
I would like to propose skinning, with each faction designing a ship skin for each ship it has for it's group. True, it needs to be available for all factions for it to be visible during play but we could make it part of an overall mod. It'll give some individuality amongst factions and be kinda kool.

-They each load automatically via update so that the skin can be seen by all during encounters.
-The skin can only be given by faction leadership to it's members for use or:
-It's available for sale as equipment on a faction's home base.
-Non-members using another groups skin could be sanctionable if not used with permission and an SRP.

These are just some ideas. I just remember back when I played Starsiege the amount of skins I could use on tank or HERC. It was awesome and gave some variety.

Thoughts? Opinions? Ideas?

That'd be awesome. Perhaps a reskin + possibly a minor (cosmetic) modification to one of the factions most used ships?

...For example a stealth Liberator with an extra antenna or something for LPI recon missions/patrols.

Yes. Could bring some income to willing texturers/modellers that want to do the actual modifications on request for a good amount of cash, too.
