Some may consider this cheating, but I want a mod that allows you to customize your crew from the hangar. To make it less cheaty, you could have a fund of, like, 50 scrap to hire anyone. Also, skin and hair color changing. Also, it would be cool if you could color customize your ship.

None of these are possible due to limitations in the game's coding, and the way graphics are set.

Code issue - utterly impossible. The best that can be managed is an event at the Start beacon which allows you to buy crew.

Each race (and male/female humans) have a fixed sprite sheet. This varies between player and enemy sprites, but will change everyone universally. There is currently no way to customize individual crew members.
Ships can be customized - see the numerous ship mods available, but there is no function to palette-swap in-game. You could mod a ship to have the design and color scheme you like, but could not alter it within the game's engine.

I'm not saying they're bad ideas necessarily, they're simply not possible with the tools and limitations we have to work with.

Go here and look at the crew customizer he has. It isnt really what your asking for but it lets you change the default skins for all the races. If you want to add more crew to a starting ship, just load up superluminal and add the crew. Takes less then 2minutes.
