I don't think it is possible through the normal game interface, however you might be able to edit one of the .ini files to change things.

I currently don't have EoC installed so I can't check, hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction.

At you play more instant action, other ships will be unlocked. and you can play with those next time you play IA

If you are willing to do a little research into 1.)the resource.zip locations of the instant action player ships (files which end in "prefitted"), 2.) the format of ship ini files, 3.) the resource.zip locations and names of the subsystem files that can be assigned to a ship, and 4.) how to piece together a simple ship substitution mod, then yes you can edit the IA ships.

I am not able to write you a tutorial on how to do any of this because it's been too long since I even last played the game and I don't remember exactly how I did stuff like this before. But with a some effort and some patience, it can be done.

Try opening up other people's mods that alter player ships in some way to find examples of how to do what you aspire. I learned a few things from poking around the elitemod, which taught me both what and what not to do when reconfiguring ships.
