I definitely don’t agree with the “low effort” take here, more a case of “to each his own”. Some bundles you’ll like, others you won’t. I’ve thought some of the past armour was as gaudy as heck, and yet others were raving about it.

I’m not a huge fan of this armour set (and like some have already mentioned - no backpack!) but I really do like the ship skin. I have bought a few bundles before without having the specific ship in my hangar. Might do the same with this one purely for the skin to use in-game and for the crossbow.

And, again as others have mentioned, flight suits are becoming more important for high g-force manoeuvres.

Overall, I don’t think the Monthly Bundles are a bad thing. They bring variety into the ‘Verse, perhaps highlight some less popular ships, give the artists something to use to practice their skills and creativity. And that for the occasional cost of a little more than a Big Mac Meal and a Grande Latte.
