By design - that every player, regardless of game mode (or, now, platform) will experience and affect a single shared galaxy state has been at the core of the game design from the outset - well over four years ago....
.... although this isn't really the thread for that topic - that thread is here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...en-v-Solo-v-Groups-thread-IV-Hotel-California

Oh boy, the nation will be on tenterhooks. First Trump pulling out of the Paris agreement, and now this.
I just...am glad that people who like buying ship kits can buy these ship kits and hopefully contribute to the future of ED- like hiring another designer to make new ships that I can buy with in-game credits so that Frontier can make new ship kits so people can buy ship kits to help contribute to ED so they can hire another designer so...well you get the idea

PARKLIFE!
Oh well, these things happens. Good of you to take the time and effort to write a bug report. I'm sure FD will get around to fixing it soon.
IMO the Corvette kit is meh, the FerDL kit looks much nicer, might have a reason to get a FerDL now . . .
Python Raider Kit when!?
Soon(tm)
I own both ships, but I really don't think these add much to the original designs. You could make the case that they can degrade the overall look. Especially the FDL, which I have always considered the best looking ship design in the game.
Will be passing on these... I did buy the Anaconda and Python kits, but over time I have ended up removing all but a few pieces on each ship. Hard to argue with the original designs when you really get down to it.
I personally think the SPIKE (Reaver) kits make more sense, since they are a radical departure from the original designs. Not just some LEGO blocks you stick here and there and which don't really work in a lot of cases with the original lines of the ship.

CAUTION: Already, threads are being posted regarding the poor quality control of the new Corvette ship kit! Apparently paints/skins are not mapping correctly on the new pieces. And all for only $12 US. Great work, FDev! (ironic 07)
Can't say I'm surprised. There are still similar issues with other kits issued months ago now. Another reason why I have pulled off most of the LEGO blocks from my Conda and Python. Sick of the paint jobs failing to match up properly, and making the add-on pieces look even more TACKED ON than they already do.
It always amazes me that the community can find all these issues within 90 minutes of a new release, yet Frontier can mess with this stuff internally for apparently months and never notice anything wrong with any of it.
This raises that 3 year old question... Does Frontier ever bother to TEST new in-game assets, add-ons before releasing them to the community? The evidence would suggest the answer is no.
