What motivates spaceship investment? (Destiny)

Sure, we see it--in the hangar, in orbit, when deploying into the world--but are those fleeting moments really worth spending resources and effort upgrading a spaceship for?

I think that's the only motivating factor. If it's something a player sees- and especially if other players see it too- that's definitely something that people will want to put their space money into. It might not be that appealing to everyone, but it's definitely something that a lot of people will do. Especially in an endgame scenario where you have a lot of glimmer and few places to spend it.
