I think it would be a terrible idea in all aspects. Harder to get access to the ship mounts - fewer people who will buy them, and thus less money to the devs.
As to the "cool factor" - if you think you will impress anyone by having some hard-to-get mount, you need think again. Vast majority of players will not know where you got it from, and won't be even slightly impressed if they did know.
