No.
I think offering player the ability to buy ship skins for IRL cash is a great idea, I think the problem is people forget this is a pilot scheme.
At the moment it's all clunky, but if you compare it to other games with real life cash transactions, they make it all seamless.
I think the pricing is off at the moment too. $3 to make your PvE boat look good is one thing, but anyone who PvPs wont pay that.
I'd be more likely to spend $5 on 10 ship skins then for 1 for example, as I'd think to myself "I don't actually lose battleships that much". Even then though, the skin would have to be REALLY cool.
Plus how often do PvE players die anyway? The point of microtransactions was little and often, not $3 now and then nothing for 12 months until they go afk and get ganked.
I'm not really the target market though so maybe I'm different. In any case, the ship skins thing is a good thing and I think if it let's people have the OPTION of making stuff look pretty for a little extra cash then good for them.

Saw "skin," "trick," and "pony" in the title. 
Came expecting something entirely different. 
Left disappointed.

I believe there is added excitment for the opportunity to customize your ship to your personal tastes. The game is starting to get a free to play characteristic with time passing and the kicker of a subscription. My arguement is that it is a potential turn off to new and old players alike and could lose the demographic. Excitement is lost when the new content has a price associated to it.
All the content in Eve has the price of time and money associated with it, wherever it is sourced from.
