*Captain Picard voice* ENGAGE!
Love those ideas. Specifically like the Blued Steel.
Those sort of changes are a fairly sizable change and a lot of work to factor in though but I'll pass on the idea. They're really nice suggestions.
I so want to see a rusty iron paint job ... and if you do it (pleasepleasepleaseplease do it) make every ship John Stabler has or ever will have, have a permanent rusty paintjob, so that no amount of T-cut will buff that out
(love you really John )EDIT: TVR pearlescant (spelling?)

Amen and +1 Rep to that. This has been repeated in various threads and it just dumbfounds the mind as to why they wouldn't do something like this. Unless there is a serious developer involvement needed, I can't see why they (FDEV) don't do it.
What baffles me is why they don't have the community make paintjob skins for them ... yes they'd have to be approved, but the community wouldn't mind. Maybe it's not as simple as painting a design on a template in photoshop (or GIMP), but, heck I have dabbled in using Blender (not "a" blender), and I am sure there are lots of us in the community who use whatever program that would do half or most of the work creating paintjobs for ships.

I'll say the same about the topic of paintjobs that I will always say until Frontier Developments finally does something sensible and heeds my requests:
1. Make every single paintjob (yes, even those that only come in packages) available for every single ship that is currently in the game.
2. Make paintjob packages just a tiny bit cheaper than buying each and every skin in them one by one. Some people only buy the tactical pack for the tactical ice, some don't want to pay full price for the vibrant pack when they fly a Diamondback Explorer which is already bright yellow.
3. Don't introduce a new ship into the game without simultaneously making all paintjobs available to it - including maybe one or two exclusive paintjobs per ship.
4. Make ship exteriors even more customizable with a wide range of layered decals available for purchase.
5. Yes, that includes the Anaconda. ESPECIALLY the Anaconda. No excuses.
Just do it!

We're hoping to do more of these type of polls in the future, just as a way of having some fun and letting the community show their support for specific content so other ships and colours may well be coming.
Right now this poll has had just under 3,000 votes and is 48%/52% one way or another (not telling who's in the lead)...

What about a way for us to do paint Jobs?
IS there some major reason for the plain look to most of these paint jobs?
Come on the Vulture is just a Material map on the ship.
If we had a paid expansion for us to do our own paintjobs that would be cool. Even if you say had to pay for each ship you wanted to paint yourself. Lots of games do let your paint your stuff and they dont charge you for it. But i know FD need to make money of this so the paid type expansion for letting us do our own paint.
InMemorium, I agree with these points, but ...
"heeds my requests"? Forgive my honesty here, but comes across a bit arrogant to me.
1. I have been saying this for so long now, I can't remember.
3. If you're going to make all painjobs available for a new ship, how can it have exclusive painjobs and still meet point 1?
Otherwise good post.

Why on earth should they be very expensive? Because of their material? Come on...!
It is ridiculous to take that much money for the decals. Yes, they look cool and so on but this is just a shame.

Gold FDL is superb. Very esthetic
Ah a Sidewinder with a Blued Steel/Colour Case harded spaceframe offset with bronze & cooper hardpoints, fixtures , edges & decal

That reminds me - when will we get actual reflections on the gold and chrome paintjobs? The game engine certainly can do it, you can see proper reflections in cockpit windows and some of the more shiny bits on the Orca and FDL.

That would be quite psychedelic.
How about a Damask Steel effect (call it a nanoscale toughening process) on the leading edges of a FdL, if you want to go all antique weapon-y about things?
Me, I am hoping for an 'Old Ships' release with Mamba, Gecko, Krait, Moray Star Boat, Boa and Transporter, and a corresponding 'Old Metal' pack to make them look like they have been tooling around the galaxy for hundreds of years.
It would be great if you guys would put up polls about features. For example I'd love to see a character editor for your ship (your ship is your character for all intends and purposes). A character designer is fundamental for an MMO in my opinion. I made a suggestion here on how to still monetize it.
Why not just have a metallic paint pack. Or mix-and-match paint packs, that would be nice.
For me, the two most confusing design choices in the game are Powerplay and that selling ship skins isn't being exploited to the max.
I'm pretty sure I'd have dropped at least the cost of the game over again by buying skins here and there, had more been available for sale.
While I'm at it, why not add all sorts of things like ground effect lighting for sale, and other similar stuff to pimp your ship. People love that kind of thing.
OnTopicEdit: FDL, obviously. Vultures are so a couple of months ago.
