This is a great idea! We may consider this in the future, as of right now we are working on the base system for the game!
We've come to the decision that Skins will be based on a players factions/contributions to the game.
All factions will have a unique paint for power armour (which is applied via a customisation UI inside of the power armour UI) All BETA testers will be given a unique paint for their armour as one of the perks for helping out with the development of the game
Down the line, we may add additional purchasable paint jobs whether it be gamepass or ingame purchase with caps.
With the coming addition of certain faction buffs, I feel as though armor should be skinned with team based textures when you're on certain teams. To elaborate, look towards the games themselves and how they distinguish power armor. Brotherhood Outcast have black, with red markings. Enclave tend to have Black, with the white insignia on it. Brotherhood of Steel have the Deep blue with white markings and the insignias. Etc, etc.
For gameplay purposes, this helps add a player identification element in the longer range engagements, along with making factions more distinct in the wastes. I know it's not a easy thing to add, but it's a smallish change that help adds identity to the many factions of the wastes. Plus, this is a community of gamers and everyone knows nothing makes gamers happier than flexing on other factions/players with their unique gear.
