say you have different skins for a battleship, its normal skin and say 1 or 2 other skins where the ship will look more battered with the other skins mounted. Giving the appearance the ship has just been through world war 3 or returned from a battle. An e.g. of this is the skins for the Redemption and Valor Battleships in 4.85, the Council battleship had a skin making it look rusted and battered but the Valor looked shiny.
Giving the player power over the ships look in this way would greatly increase quality of RP!
