Ships More then a paint job

Wonder if in future there will be more stuff to buy for cash then just paint jobs....only paint jobs I see useful now is if there would be an 3rd person view camera, so you can see whole ship, but now...whats the point? Anyways... at how it is now I except stuff from cash shop that only includes interior decorations, pilots clothing... some stuff to mount on dash board etc. That "ipad" that is between pilots legs is always blank screen.. i assume that's some extra space for future console additions display ? so far you can only change interior HUD color and that's only done thru editing game files. I was just kind of thinking because online shop has nothing but paint jobs.... it's like wearing a different type of earrings where you can't see it without a mirror anyways.....I assume people find point in this if that paint job revenue system is popular, which means company needs more people like that lol.
 
I think will be be more pieces of art in the way... And of course, Ged1s, you can config your 3rd person camera in setting ->>debug camera<<-.
 
More what, then a paint job? More killing, then a paint job? More exploring, then a paint job? More something or other, then a paint job?
Wash it first, then get a paint job?
 
If you like hunting pirates, you will see that in a given system, they have their own specific paint job, as do police of a given system.
Help me a lot to recognize pirates before scan have finished.

Only to say paint job can be see by others. It's not only for you, it's for displaying something special to other peoples.

The only time you can see paintjob is when you do meele combat close up. Meet up with someone close up.....which i believe is non existant since there is no point in doing that unless there would be something implemented that needs a close contact lol. Otherwise you gonna see a small light shinning thats all :))) its not an mmo where you meet outside town and check each others skins.....
 
IMO, Frontier missed some tricks when it comes to selling paint-jobs. In some stations, the landing pad tower should be a glass wall, so as you land you're looking at your ship's reflection. You'd get to see how it looks, and also at your landing technique*. (* not necessarily a plus!)

Or maybe have a big screen in the stations which shows the new arrivals / departures (another way to see your shiny paintwork from multiple angles).

Or (my favourite) if you're speeding through the letterbox, a photo/video of you zooming through the slot is sent to your in-ship computer, together with your speed, as proof. :) You'd get people boosting through at top speed just as some kind of competition!

But it would be nice to have some in-ship customisations too. Particularly to reflect faction / power / rank.

When you use pulse lasers, you need to go less than 1km once the shields are down to have best results. I do a lot of close-up.
And even at 1km+, I can clearly see enemies paint job if enough light.

Paint skins are kind of like all the really cool and exciting game-play features of ED, I mostly see them in my mind. >.<
