Indeed i agree, but further to that i'd like to see the vast majority of such ship customisations being available by default and for doing specific things in game - I've zero interest in microtransactions.. MAYBE some exclusive things should stay purchasable only for those who are willing to spend extra money on cosmetics, but i only buy dlc that has an actual effect on my gameplay and only if it's good value too, furthermore even IF i was thinking of buying any of Frontier's extra items, i'd prefer if i could buy them off PSN, rather than buying them off Frontier's own store...

(Also on unlockable items, while ones for pretty hard to do things like getting into the top 10 in a CG should certainly be in there, i'd like many for easier things like getting into the top 75% or scoring your hundredth kill etc...
