Micro-transactions: A taste of things to come?

Welcome CMDR's,

I have just been catching up on some Twitter stuff and noticed Frontier have posted this today:

My question is this: If this is a suit that could be purchased via the store, how much would you be prepared to pay for it?

Same or a bit less than ship skins for me, it is essentially a character 'skin' but, for the next few years at least, gets less exposure.

Nothing - it is facing the wrong way!!

OK, to be serious for a moment, I'm not particularly interested in adornments full stop, so while I might create a face, I'd probably use the default flight suit. Though, I thought the same thing about ship kits until I saw the spiky one in the Unknown Trailer, and now I want that!

Zilch. Theyre getting nothing more from me. Besides, who exactly apart from the cmdr will see it? So I fail to see any point.

I honestly really like the normal black suit and the Federation emblem is free so I doubt I'll buy character cosmetics.

Other CMDRs.... This is a multi player game after all and people doing multi player activities would want it. It isn't like trying to figure out what happened before the big bang here.

Hard one...Value is preferential both by person, object in question and reason, if you like.

I mean, i bought a green weapon colour coz its a quid, i spend more than that on coffee everyday.

I then spent money on a ship kit for the asp...now i don't even like the asp that much, but i was going out in to the black for a few months so figured id make my asp look decent.

For me the item is worth how much i want it, i don't particularly like that suit in that pic so £0, but if i loved it i might pay £5 for it?

Indeed, except it was a gimp middle-aged ninja turtle. So when I'm playing a game I'm looking to play as other characters ... something more classy.

Something like this:

Its all cosmetic bling - that's fine if people want to pay for it. Might buy nameplate or two, but otherwise not pushed.

let me guess, these are preset skins again, and the last one is supposed to be "yellow"?

colorsaturation is very bad at them. wouldn't pay 1€ for these.

give us proper color selections and proper preset patterns to colorise, thats at least worth some money to spent.

I wouldn't.

However, given that people buy ship skins at £10 and what have you I imagine they will charge £5 for standard ones and £10 premium.
