[Suggestion] Skinning alternative

Proposal:
Make the ships editable by the player for purchase of a token from the store.​

Concept:
Divide the ship into "zones": Left Wing, Fuselage, Right Wing, etc, and allow each of these to be "painted" using standard Internet color codes similar to the BBCode color=#DB7900 (brackets removed to prevent the code from triggering) which provides in excess of 16M color choices. Glossy, metallic and matte finishes could be added.

Add in the current ability to add decals, and you have a very diverse potential without needing to develop a skin for each individual ship type.

Finish this by spending a token, purchased through the Frontier store, to apply the paint job.​

Using an XML formatting file would allow the the data to be passed quickly without having every skin saved server-side.
