Hear me out... Ship Construction.

So, I was reading through the notes on the most recent patch, and it was noted that you could now scan ships... which got me to thinking about how that could be expanded upon. Hear me out.

What if... when you scanned (Perhaps with a new type of scanner that needs to be charged so that you can't just sit in a hub and scan everything imaginable until you have every blueprint.) a ship you gained a blueprint for some component about that ship. Perhaps the wings, or fins, or paint job. You could then take that component to your home base (I figured a new type of building/structure would be buildable so that you can modify your ship.) The components would be expensive to build, requiring a ton of mats, that way it's a bigger choice than just to change them out constantly.

I believe this would give another amazing opportunity for exploration and customization ... but I have my concerns. Essentially it would still be important to seek out new ships since this ship construction would be entirely cosmetic. The ship slots / technology wouldn't be effected... and you'd still want to seek out different class ships to get the bonuses you want.

I'd like to hear the communities thoughts on this idea.
