Only an idea, is this even possible?

I was wondering and since I know next to nothing about how to program for this game if it is even in the realm of possibility.

If it would be possible to set up a mod that allows you to wrap a bitmap or some other image which could act as the paintjob around the exsisting ship skin.

Make it so these files for each ship could be stored in a sub directory to be accessed.

And add an option so that you can download the extra skins people use while in game, sort of like the option to download other peoples skins in the Quake series and other such variouse fps's, so that you can end up seeing the other persons skin?

Again I dont know much about programing but if there is a way it can be done could someone point me in the right direction, I wouldnt mind taking a shot at it.

Actually, I'm not sure if it IS possible, but it could be handled like squad logos in Operation Flashpoint... upload your squad's icon to the server, and manage your team through an XML... could be interesting (it's probably best to just bug DA about it, they may just impliment it.
