I'm fully onboard with you on this. I like a lot of players took some time to consider how I wanted my characters' to look. Assuming that shaders would be rather easy to obtain, I picked color schemes for my ships and sparrows and then planned on selecting a shader to match. Not only as you mentioned did I end up with limited choices, but of course the choices I have don't match the schemes I picked for my vehicles. To make matters worse, my most powerful character finally obtained an exotic piece of armor and then I discovered that at least with the Titan class the shaders don't affect the exotic armor. I would also like to see the weapons be affected by the shaders as well, instead I have a white and gold scheme for my Titan (At least it matches the exotic armor after changing from a purple scheme) but I have an orange weapon WTF over? lol
