The purpose is cosmetics. But instead of the old wings which aim to change the shape and silhouette of the hull it plays with the idea of an imagined functionality. They are basically thematic kits which help you roleplaying.
The same way how raider kits are supposed to make your ship more scarier and also: they hold together the rotten, rusty hull which came with the raider pack's paintjobs.
So the functionality of the hazard pack is a roleplaying functionality: equiping the ship with roll cages, bumpers, wings which look like magnetic push emitters for hazardous work in space: Mining, salvaging. They supposed to reinforce your canopy - in cosmetics. It owner can express themselves with this pack.
Maybe one day we will have another themed pack and those could be exploration-themed scientific equipments: like sensors, space observatories, more interestingly shaped antennas on our hulls. That's about that, to enjoy looking at our ship while we play a specific gameplay loop, be it mining, space exploration, combat, salvaging, etc

I get the lights, but the rest, what is it for, and because normally ship kits have no functionality, what are the other parts supposed to be for?

As much as I like the idea of more kits, I do think its not something I would want on any ship.
Feels a lot like cheap backyard mechanic add-ons to extremely expensive vehicles.
I don't own a space truck, so I have no idea what this is for or why I would want it.
All my ships are pretty and new and smooth, this just does not seem like it belongs on space ships.
Are we going to be getting a new ship? A tow truck ship maybe that these would look appropriate on?

Owning many many ships, I just don't see why I would want something so very different in looks on them.
to make a cutter or a vette look like it belongs in an auto wrecker yard just seems so wrong.


Speaking of said functionality, what about all the bug reports for all the kits already? blocking hardpoints, cutting down weapon arc, etc...
I would buy extra lights for many of my ships, happily.
But not at the cost of making a beautiful ship look like it belongs in a welding shop at a construction site.

Sorry to be so negative, but Ships, not Trucks. All I see here is Welding accessories for trucks.

Is it not simply that some people like it and others don't?

This looks really good! (y)
A little expensive but a really good job.
Please more of it.
Then when the interiors of the ships come with a lot of details, we are extremely looking forward to it.
Keep it up.
Thanks a lot and greetings.

The announcement post states that the Industrial Sale would apply to the Hazard Pack for the Type-6 and Type-9 but they appear to be priced at the same 13520 Arx as the other ships. Is the post in error or has the sale pricing just not hit certain items in the store yet?

EDIT: Turns out I'm blind.
