How did ship mk become ‘a thing’?

I recall one of the vets saying that the ships were separated into different mks because “that’s what the players wanted”.

When an why did this happen? What was there before?

Also... how successful has it been? When we see mk5s at 500 infamy, or lowering their gearscore to get matched against mk3s... has ship mk been and improvement, or just an endless source of unfairness that can’t be corrected?

 

Sounds like nonsense to me, they've been around since beta anyway.

 

There's always been ship MK, even in March 2016 when the game was first released.

 

Maybe I’m just getting my wires crossed.
