Default Ship skins

Does anybody has to propose any surface skin pack compatible with GWX so as not every merchant ship look like exactly the same as the one before?

The GWX merchants skins are based on realistic schemes, however, they will change as the war progresses.

I think it was Iambecomelife who did the Merchant Variety Pack, which creates a lot of new skins and randomizes them. I also think it's included in GWX.

Start a career from a harbor and look around. If you see ships with 'Sinclair' or 'Esso' or any other neat-looking logos, you have it.

There are a set number of skins per ship that appear at random at any time (multiskinned). So not every merchant looks exactly the same. Iambecomelife's early mod used a batch file to randomise the skins, and thus is a different approach.
However, the skins do not actually change as the war progresses.

But there is something coming up that will remedy this in the near future.
