non-cosmetic ship customization

Somewhat new to the game, sure this general idea has been around for a while hopefully I am putting it in a new way.
the ability to change out parts of your ship could help allow players have a new way to play, and “purpose build” their ships to do certain tasks like combat, or questing things like:
Swapping out the cannons for smaller cannons that do less damage for a quicker reload rate, or larger cannons that do more damage, but take longer to reload
Sails that you can trade speed of adjusting the sails (raising lower, turning) for the speed of your ship
Reinforced hull at the cost of speed and maneuverability with the opposite stripped down hull
