Minor faction unique ship skins

The dev team puts a lot of effort into making the game as immersive, as possible, and yet minor factions all using the same ships feels like a big obstacle for achieving that. So I suggest at least giving (at least some of) them different skins! If that is too much work at the moment, at least the skins from ES1 for it's miners could be modified and reused.
While making a functionally different ship for minor factions doesn't seem necessary at the moment, giving them different skins would surely benefit the game a lot.
