Why am i buying stuff ?

Indeed.
Now if I could only figure out the double-damned camera system perhaps I could even look at all the stuff I have bought.
Even purchased an XBox controller for my PC for that and the SRV.
Found a SRV/XBox controller thread so I am good there now I have to find one for it and the camera.

I just figured out how to do it on the PC. I've been playing for a month, and while I could zoom in and out, I couldn't get the hang of anything else. Well, this afternoon I was playing with the camera controls, and finally got it working for me. As a result, I get to see my pretty magic space car now:

I must admit that colored engine plumes are tempting, but I don't play in Open, so who would see them? Still, I'm weak; I have colored weapons (purple) but don't even have weapons fitted, most of the time. I'm sure I'll get them at some point, the question is: Purple or blue?

Both, of course!

I don't buy cosmetic things for games but. .. with my ships in ED I am so weak...
 
I justify buying cosmetics like this: Before I had kids I used to go out drinking many times a month, happily spending £4 a pint and buying large rounds etc without blinking an eye. Now I no longer go out drinking... A paintjob is one pint. A ship kit is the taxi home.

I remember a time when i'd laugh at mates for buying cosmetics on dota (still laugh). But here i am, i bought 5 weapons colours, 2 paintjobs, 1 cmdr flight suit pack, just now i purchased orange engine colour, i have plans for another flightsuit and paintjob. I don't think these things should need to be payed for yet i'm happy giving frontier my money because they have made such a masterpiece of a game.

Anyone else feel the same ? Or am i just weak minded lol ?

I didn't buy anything for a bit; spent £41 last night catching up; and I don't play much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I buy it because I'm weak.
And I enjoy that weakness. [yesnod]
 
It usually starts off like this for me:

"Hmmm... new colours for what, ENGINE TRAILS? What idiot would buy that?"

then

"Ya know ...They do look kinda nice.... but naahhh who's gonna look at them? If they're seeing my engine trails, I'm RUNNING from them!"

and then a little later ...

"I could always look at them with the Camera suite..."

... and then I checkout at the Frontier store with 3 engine colours, 4 weapon colours, 3 ship kits, 5 paintjobs and 4 flight suit packs in cart....
