Example, if I use some Arx to buy a paint job while on my Anaconda, is that particular paint job unlocked across all my ships, or just the Anaconda? Same for decals etc. If I buy the Pirate (spikey) decals does it just unlock that pack across all my ships, or only the active ship I purchased it with?
How, *exactly* do cosmetiecs work?..

Thanks. Kinda sucks, but I guess that's how (not-so-)microtransactions work.

This is how they worked for me:
I'm not spending money on a paint job I can't even see while flying
No Transaction
Oh, a free paint job, might as well try it out...meh, I'll just buy one I like
Transaction
That would look a lot better with another spoiler, ship kits aren't that much
Transaction
What? I can only buy this hideous gold one for a limited time? Better buy every one available!
Transaction
I've grown tired of these same five or six options, time for something else
Transaction
That aloe plant would look better with a cactus next to it
Transaction
I actually like the default FC model best, but that hammer head looking one might grow on me
Transaction
I've gotten a lot of free Arx, might as well buy some to supplement the balance
Transaction
Can't decide which exhaust color I like the best, better buy them all
Transaction
I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever end.

If you are buying decals they will go onto any of your fleet...
you will find a link in the main menus. Then again the issue tracker and support links are in there as well, and no-one can find them either
perils of people rushing to hit Play, despite the game being ded for years Edit: Actually it's even more prominent in the resume menu, maybe they should have coloured it Blue

Working as Intended
Paintjobs and ship kits: Per vehicle ie: Anaconda or SRV. So an Anaconda paintjob is only on an Anaconda, and to get the Asp Explorer one you have to buy that one separately. If you bought a 2nd Anaconda, you can still use that paintjob on both Anacondas.
COVAS, decals and bobbleheads: account wide. So if you buy a bobblehead (for example) you can use it on any ship.

those were the days....
Oh yes, the dim distant past and blue tiles...those were the days....
Aren't there still some forumites still complaining about that blue tile? The psychological damage must have been extreme I guess
I think they're too busy campaigning about how the bobble heads wobble in a 0g spacecraft, and how they dont quite wobble with the right kind of wibble or wobble on a 6.432543g planet, and the fact that bobble heads wibblingness isnt effected by the gravitational pull of their own imerrrrshhhiiiooonnn bubbleOh yes, the dim distant past and blue tiles...

and yes wibblingness is a word pertaining to how wibblly something is on the wobbly scale, naturally its measured in wibbles. i.e this bobble head had the wibble factor of 12wibbles per minute.
To add to that... some of the decals, not all of them, but a select few, also seem to be applicable to your CMDR's flight suit in place of the Elite rank badges. At least they did, I haven't tested it lately.
Darn it! Now I'll have to go and find out!
