Different Aesthetic Designs for Hero Ships

I can get behind this; Craver heroes with Craver-looking ships, Vodyani heroes with Vodyani-looking ships. It would make space battles more interesting; having a Craver fleet bearing down on a Lumeris colony and at the head...a Sophon ship, for some reason.

It would be also nice if we can upgrade hero ships from corvettes to a Dreadnought as the hero themselves level up. This will solve the problem of why the Heroes are not attending the empire's prized Dreadnought fleet but sticking in their Loveboats. 

Colours would be awesome. Personalizing the hero ships is definitetly needed!

I hope the devs respond. 

A simple reskin would be nice demending on faction. keep the models themselves but have the brown material for cravers, sleek blue metal for sophons etc. It would be cool

if the devs wanted to keep the connection to the academy, an academy sponsorhip could be emblazoned on the side of hero ships. But have the overall look of the ship look like that of the empire said hero works for. 

I dont need special ships, option to assign a hero to ship of my faction would totally suffice. I hate the heroes as they are. Heroes in Endless Legend were nice and unique. These are all the same just with different portraits. That is just plain boring and looks so much out of place. I want my hero to represent that faction and sit in my flagship carrier!

Only time I pick hero out of my race is when I assign it to govern its own race in assimillated by my faction.
