Some Customization Thoughts

Hey all, First off, this is my first post in any gaming community forum... ever. Secondly, thanks a ton for creating a game that has me so enthralled that I am taking an interest in it's community. I've been playing Destiny since it launched (in whatever free time my life has allotted me), and I honestly think I've yet to touch any of my other games. I've enjoyed the storyline, made some new gaming friends through strikes and PvP,, and can't wait for the expansion pass I purchased to come into play! That being said, whilst romping around the post-level-20 mini-galaxy, collecting upgrade materials, and even getting my first piece of exotic armor, yesterday from Xür, I've had a few thoughts that have returned to me enough to foster this post. Since they are all about customization, and relatively, arguably inconsequential, I figure I'll pose these thoughts as questions followed by elaborations. 1. Why aren't there shaders for vehicles or weapons? To some people, looking the part is just as important as playing the part. Also, it seems like a lot of people don't know what to do with their collateral glimmer from Raiding, Striking, or binge-playing Crucible, and this might be a small answer to that. So far, it seems that Ships don't really come into play apart from looking cool so it would be nice to shade them differently (maybe even have each faction offer their own shader for ships/sparrows?) 2. Why don't factions have there own shaders? A couple of times I've gotten some cool gear, and thrown it on, and just looked like a mismatched Guardian who got dressed in the dark. I feel like it would be a nice reward to someone who has ranked up in Dead Orbit, The New Monarchy, or The Future War Cult (or even multiple factions) to be able to don any piece of armor and have a shader for their favorite faction. 3. Why can't we change our facial features after the main selection screen (especially Exo's)? Once again, relatively inconsequential, but it would be nice to think, "You know? I'd like to change that marking on my Exo's face", or, "I'd like my awoken to be slightly less purple", and to be able to follow through with that. Even if there was a glimmer or resource fee for that, I could see a lot of people taking advantage of it. 4. Why can't Iron Banner always be a part of the Tower/Desiny experience?" Ok, that isn't so much a question as it is a Christmas wish. I just loved the Iron Banner, and Lord Saladin, and wish they were a permanent fixture rather than a week-long event (an event that was my favorite, and will be my favorite if/when it returns) In summation, like I said before, these thoughts of mine are arguably inconsequential... I think, but I've always been a big fan of more freedom and more choices to make as an RPG player. I think a lot of people would enjoy getting some exotic equipment and then shading it to match their faction, or Changing the color of that Kestrel-Class that they were awarded. In my mind, and in many others, more customization = more fun. Thank you for your time in reading this, and thank you for making such an awesome game that now has a wonderful team and community dedicated to making it better week after week. -Pandha

    There is a rumor that there may be an upgrade item coming, which allows shaders to be put on vehicles. The factions do have shaders, if you're lucky enough to get one. I've seen someone with a New monarchy shader. During the beta they actually sold their shaders, but for some reason they removed this from the game. More Deep complex customization systems will definitely be important in the future, to keep peoples interest for 10 years. Here's hoping they come through.
