You've answered your question!
These kits are guaranteed to make one win the Stellar Screenshots contest!
Spot on!
No, three spots (lights!)
OK, now you should run!

The Raiders were the first themed sets I worked with the guys on, you know...which is probably why I'm so pumped about this lot.
But anyway, no word that this is "the new norm" for how ship kits are attainable (only as combo sets) moving forward.
Someone here on the forum suggested to FDev that it would be nice to have navigation lights.
Instead, they delivered spot-lights and roll-bars.
But not for all ships in the game.....
The Cobra MKIV may be exclusive, so exclusive it is, not to have any ship kits, light kits and very few paint jobs.
I guess the accessories' for the Cobra MKIII just won't fit the Cobra MKIV.

What I'd love to see from ship kits:
Be able to buy one part separately
Have them match the colour and finish of the host ship better (some kind of have slightly different lighting)
Have NPCs have some / all of kits (a bit like some ATR IIRC)
I can imagine the finance people slamming fists down at the first but its nice to mix and match, and some bits I just don't use.

Very much agreed here. I never understood why NPCs don't run shipkits at all.
Agreed with all of these. Although I understand the marketing desire to have them purchased as full packs.
But 1,000% agreed on having NPC ships sport different paint jobs and ship kits! Having the ships around me sporting different colors and exterior details would do a lot for immersion and making things look less "samey" without having to add additional resources to the game. I'd love to see the occasional pirate rocking a Raider ship kit from time to time, or have these new Hazard kits appear on miners in a Resource Extraction Zone.
Plus it'd give the opportunity for us to see an NPC ship sporting an interesting combo of cosmetics and go "hey that looks cool, let me go take a look at the Livery and see if I want to buy that..."
It's because of benefit-cost ratio. I don't think it's economically viable to produce kits for all 38 ships at once (which costs more) and hope they get popular and quickly return the investment. We don't know what's cooking, but one can speculate a second round depends on the success of the first round of kits. And many of us longed for more fixed lighs.
Then Unlimited Ammo Mode or God Mode
I would love in game NPCs to react to ship kits- "such a shame to destroy something so nice" sort of line.
Hmmm 
I could do with getting some extra illumination on the landing pads for next week's Buckyball race.
You know ... so I can clearly pick out the exact spot where I'm going to die!

I think I'm gonna have to add "pay visit to the shops" to my pre-race checklist now.

Does using festive lights to lure Thargoids in trap make them a policy shift too?
They do't care about those things, some shipkits even block the Shiplights, only a part of it or even 100% lol they just want to sell .. and no real content is deliverd... sad
