A recent discussion within the Elite Dangerous community reveals mixed feelings about the value of ship cosmetics like paint jobs. Some players express disinterest, citing that ships are rarely seen externally and preferring to avoid community goals that mainly reward cosmetic items. This divide highlights differing player priorities: some focus on gameplay and utility, while others appreciate aesthetic customization. These attitudes are important for developers and commanders when considering the role and appeal of cosmetic rewards in the game.
- Some players avoid community goals rewarding primarily cosmetics.
- Ship visibility from outside is a common concern affecting cosmetic appeal.
