SE4 was designed with mods and new shipsets in mind - it's part of the attraction, and probably part of the license, so no - besides, Mods + shipsets don't really qualify as fan art. Sure, it's art; sure, it's by fans; but making a shipset doesn't usually mean taking the stock ships and altering their pictures slightly, or redrawing the stock ships from different angles; it means making new ones, pretty much from scratch, or making significant alterations to the stock ships.
