I still think prices are high for cosmetics. $15 should be getting anywhere from 3-5 skins, not 1. I doubt there are very little impulse buys too due to cost.

That can get you coating for your whole fleet.

For £30 I could buy an entire game, and get many hours of enjoyment out of it. Or I could go for a decently-priced night out with me mates. Or I could take someone I care about for a lovely meal somewhere nice...

...Or I could buy a single hero ship + cosmetics. To be honest, even the steam packs are too pricey for what they are (mostly you are paying for elite time, with some freebies thrown in) but I got them on the sale. The individual ships though? I don't want to sound like a greedy consumer, but FAR overpriced!!

I know, and that's too pricey. The $3-$5 range I referred to isn't per skin per ship line, it's what it need to be for all ships. Devs admitted some months ago they dont make much on cosmetics, and that's because it's $15 for a skin and $30 for a hero ship. The majority of ships I see with different colors are bots, not players. As Daltonymous said, you can get a whole game or go out a night with friends and people are going to do just that.

Now it's 99GP for one coating per line, or something like that.the current coating packs are set in a way that if you buy one you are playing the price for 10 lines, but getting it for 15. If you want to pick and choose you can. There are far more options now. Also everyon was given a load of free cosmetics. So you don't even have to spend money to customise your ship any more.

Since I'm a PS4 player, I wouldn't know what's available at this point, but 99 GP is a lott better than the 300 it used to be.

I hope they move all the cosmetics to the retrofit prices. At 1500 gp I'd buy every set.

You mean the hero ships right?

Yea. Hero ship cosmetic pieces purchasable at retrofit prices without the ship itself.
