Considering that a 10-point Commander by itself is valued at 1,500 Doubloons alone, the Ship being an Early Access reward on top of all the other things does math out to quite a value.
There are also post-progression rewards which yield even more with the Battle Pass is active, so there's further value for those that play consistently enough to reach post-progression over the course of the Update.
As with all decisions, value is in the eye of the beholder. Thank you for giving us your thoughts on it. There are several folks which have stated they do not want Early Access content in the Battle Pass, so this feedback has been given across a few places.
It's worth remembering how much other content is available along the way which can end up overlooked when looking at the "topper on the tree". 2,500 Doubloons is $10, which ends up yielding a good return on investment when the Pass is actively worked on throughout the update.
Our Battle Pass format aims at 10 stages per week of pass. Things are subject to change in the future, but the 10/week format has held since introduction.
I suppose it's possible to grind out 183k Commander XP in a day, but that would use Economic Bonuses to be any form of easy. 3k Commander XP for a match would mean 63 battles which isn't a small amount of time by any means.
If it was easily ground in a day, a 19 point Commander would be doable in just 10 days, which seems unlikely.
Blue Econ Bonuses have value as well.
Grey Eco Bonuses are valued at 12 Doubloons, and Greens at 24. Blue tends to be 4x the output of a Green, plus that output occurs in a shorter period of time, but for simplicity sake you could just quadruple the value of the green to 96 doubloons.
86 x 96 = 8,256 Doubloons in value of EcoBonuses used.

You can earn all those Blue Bonuses just by playing the game, so value is subjective at the same time as being objectively identified.
