Ship Personalization & Upgrading

I've been thinking for a while, beside training talents, it would be really cool if you could personalize the appearance of our ships, especially so they distinctly don't look like another players ship('s'). Also I've thought of a very unique feature we could add to our ships. Specific appearance changes could give a ship a talent boost, just to further increase the use of each player's personal favorite ships. I would gladly like to further explain once this thread gets more views and some responses. I guarantee that this will increase Rovio's fan base and increase the amout of time played, by players that already consume their accounts.

 

Great idea. This has been suggested on forum more times than I could count.
Your idea for adding talents to go along with the appearance change is a new idea.

Personalization or skins would be universally loved within the entire community. I can't imagine anyone disliking the idea.
Plus Rovio would make more money by selling limited edition skins/etc.

I can only imagine that one of these three things is what has held them back from working on this type of additional content.
1. Some type of technical development issues that won't work in the games existing programming
2. The development time to create new skins and appearance packages is extremely high, and they've determined they can't justify it for the amount of revenue they might get as a return.
3. They don't have the manpower to do it.

In "TheToobers" interview with Zeus(from the game) he was asked about skins and acknowledged it, but gave no indication whether they will ever do it or not.
