[2022] First Perm Camo for 200 dubs.. worth it now? Trying to understand the new camo system....

There are no gameplay or economic aspects tied up in Visuals any longer. Visuals are purely about lookin' cool~

You would pay 200 Doubloons for a "Perma-Visual". Visuals provide no economic or gameplay benefit.

The "Bonus Package" for a Tier 10 ship costs 4,800 Doubloons and would provide additional resource bonuses.

In the old system a "Permacamo" was:

A permanently available Visual


Some permanently available Econ Bonuses (if you used the Permacamo)

In the new system, the "Bonus Package" is just the Econ Bonuses from your old Permacamo. The Bonus Package is always active, so it gives you extra stuff regardless of whether you wear a camo (visual) or not.
