Holy -blam!- that's a big spoiler... Bigger than I see on most drag racers.
On topic: I miss this option as I'm not a fan of the crucible and took me 3 weeks to get my rep up with dead orbit and the crucible marks just to buy some armor. Did that a week before they changed it to commendations (only lucky break I've seemed to have though now that armor is useless). Thinking of working on it again since I have some left over crucible marks and some I picked up working on the thorn bounty

You can use Vanguard marks to buy mats as well from the Vanguard quartermaster in the hangar. Believe me, I'm not a fan of Crucible either so I'm glad I don't just need Crucible marks to get mats when I'm too lazy to farm them
