I was wondering why vanity items, such as shaders/emblems/ships/sparrows(in some way) have to be items.
Wouldn't it be much better if they were unlockables in the list, so then when you get one you can apply it on any char by selecting it from the menu, rather then placing it in the vault to transfer it to another char?
Additional suggestion would be a full list of available shaders/emblems/ships (those that you are yet to get are blacked out, but available for preview) with a description, telling you where you can get it.
I think those can be applied to sparrows too, as it is not a very crucial gameplay mechanic, but it will be kinda cluttered with 6 buyable sparrows with 4 Xur engines (24 in total).
Also, if transmogrification will be a thing, same thing can be applied to it as well, if you got an item once, you can chart it in your transmog menu so you can apply its appearance to your equipped item.
I believe this will free up a little bit of vault space for a lot of guardians, and it will definitely be more user-friendly.
If you have any corrections/additional suggestions/opinions on the matter feel free to comment, I may choose best and add those in edits.

Obligatory first goosebump.
