Lets Buff That Preview Window

So something i would like to see is a ship preview that does the ships justice. As it stands now the lighting is terrible and inconsistent.

I say instead of just increasing the lighting in preview, make it adjustable. make the light color selectable, and make the background nebula selectable (and an option for no nebula/empty space).

Another thing i was thinking was a sort of dimensions view. Where i push some button and the camera snaps to an isometric view and some dimension lines appear. maybe a small figure next to the ship just to give an idea of how big it is (or a shuttle for larger ships).

This.

You can already do this for our portrait avatars in the character creator, why not for ships?

With all the work gone into the new modules it seems like a pity not to be able to see them from a different light.

Space isn't dark, it's actually beige according to the scientists~

Anyway besides that the preview window is more like an interactive electronic catalogue so why would space have anything to do with it? Honestly I'd just like to see a more interactive preview, where you can view different turret/etc on the ship. They already have a feature like that for tier 3 subsystems so it can't be impossible.
