I agree it's a bit excessive, and honestly, I am not a fan of the new skin. But at the same time, I have a feeling going forward into Beta this will be the way they make money to keep the dev team paid and servers up and I am not bothered but it as it doesn't change the characteristics of the ship's capabilities. One concern I do have is with them selling all these skins will require them to not allow us to paint our ships any which way we want or it removes the uniqueness of the purchased skins and future sales.
