I was about to argue that this isn't "pay-to-win", as just having the ship doesn't automatically make you better in-game, but...

If the pre-built ship is destroyed you will be able to redeploy it at no cost, but any additional modules you have added will require in-game credits to retrieve during re-buy.

does this mean that the arx-bought pre-built ship has essentially 0 Cr rebuy? Sounds kinda low-bar entry for no-risk pvp or griefing, if so.
