More ships for the same roles

First of all a Little info about myself:
i have being playing eve for about 3 years and always have this idea.Idea
i really hate the fact that on eve most of the people use the same ship, for example when i did missions near motsu and go there to sell stuff at any given time of the day you would get several caldary navy BS docking or undoking from the station.
that happens because (my opinion) its the best missile bs for the people that wants to do missions using missiles.

on real live, for example, when Apple put the iphone or any other product that sells and its an innovation soon or later all the other company's go and make a similar product to get a share of the market.

so you would think that if the caldary company produces a very good ship, sooner or later any other faction companies would do a ship that could do the same as good or better, in order to get a share of the profits.

its true that the players are the ones that do the ships, but the npc's are the ones that makes the BPU's so there's no lore reason for that don't happen, correct me if I'm wrong.

so this being said my idea has two parts:
first of, when every company of the same faction gives you the same ship on the LP store, the first thing that i would love to see in game was that every company gives you a ship that has the colours of that company and maybe a different model for example a lai dai lp store could give you a lai dai scorpion, for balancing purpose all this ships would have the same stats.

second:
- why can't i have a t2 ship for every roll using the same t1 hull, but with differences.
i have done mods for other games on the past and i know the work that you get to do a model of something, but just to see what i could do in a few hours i started with the magnate model, one of my favorite frigs, it took me a few hours just to convert the model to blender use, and make some changes to the texture, i used some parts of the fighter bomber model to do some of the variants, but after i did 2 models (guns and missiles) i made 6 more in about 2 hours of work, just mirror and coping some parts,
so here is the exemples of this ideia: The T1 Magnate, The engine gets closer to the body, Bigger engines, Mirror the bottom half, Mirror the top Half, missile version ad some parts of the bomber, Missile version, mirror top half, Missile version, mirror bottom half, add 2 engines
like that you can have every t2 and the navy made from the magnate hull, you can combine the changes to get more models, and the best is to use the same or similar stats to the T2 ships on the game

finally why "the hell" TwistedQuestion (and this is mine and more people opinion) some ships on eve are so ugly, why aren't most of the models symmetrical, when it makes the ships better looking and it takes half the time to model them, giving you more free time to make new ones.
