It seems kind of silly to have to click each and every single type of ship and close a modal popup in order to tell which ones have skin options and which ones don't.

Instead of doing this and making the already crappy station UI worse, only enable the Livery button for ships with more than one option available.

I agree making the UI worse is not good... hopefully the devs have improving the livery integration as a priority alongside simply just "adding" it. Obviously it's the start of something that should make later things easier... but if it's at the cost of further confusing people you may as well just keep it hidden.

Noted, but yes, this is transitional.

Just grey the button out. Either it's a valid operation or not. Don't morph the interface with every purchase.
