I've started playing Hourglass more frequently and find it annoying that I need to pay X amount of gold (based upon damage sustained) just to make my ship look normal again. It adds additional cost to trying to grind towards SoF or GoF when I'm already spending gold on supplies, etc. Also, it would be cool that when choosing a hull cosmetic I could choose the level of damage it displays. Maybe I want the ship to feel weathered but I don't want a plank covering up a hole every 2 feet on the inside. Just a thought.
Change ship damage cosmetics cost and allow player to choose damage as a cosmetic look
This makes no sense. The damage shows the damage your ship has suffered among the waves. Is up to you to repair it or leave it.
I really love that every ship has different damage depending on how long it lasts. Adding different damage tiers to customization will break that feeling. The ships won't have stories to tell based on the visuals of the damage.
In my case, you can tell the ships I use for hourglass because the left side is broken and the right side is almost perfect. That can't be achieved with customization.
So maybe have it an option that can be toggled so we both win. Your immersion isn't interrupted and I don't have to pay gold to make my ship look new and can choose to have damage if I'm trying to do some screenshots.

Well you are repairing a ship...much like repairing a car.

Pick and choose. Nobody forces you to pay for something you have a choice. and by this time, Gold collecting is far to easy if you spend time in SS or do some high value voyages with G5 flag.
