Ship Paint suggestions

ITT we post possible ship unique
paint themes that we think could be cool and fitting for the ship.

I think that a Bearded Vulture/Lammergeier/Ossifrage themed paintjob for the Vulture would be fantastic. 2/3 black with 1/3 white and bright orange/red highlights or patches.

Admit it, even if you don't fly one it'd be awesome to see one with that type of style flying around instead of chrome or something.

1.5 Paint Jobs on release?

Will there be any 1.5 ship paint jobs available upon full release with 2.0? Even just the basic color packs (Vibrant, Military, Tactical)?
 
Dem NPC paint jobs tho.

Greetings

I have noticed that the NPC's are sporting some excellent paint jobs lately ,why are they not available to purchase?

I saw a Clipper sporting an awesome urban camo type number and several other amazing designs on various other ships.

Sorry I didn't get screen shots but I'm sure CMDR's know what I'm talking about.
 
Could be any number of reasons. May be internally they froze new skins being added to the store until Horizon/1.5 is released or may be it because they are preparing to launch the store on Xbox One that there some sort of authorisation they have to go through with Microsoft to be able to publish new skins and they want the content on both stores to be the same.

or perhaps they just haven't gotten around to adding them to the store yet.

I understand the need for further monetization, but man I'd love to be able to atleast change the base colour of my ship.

Have yet to see any new paint jobs... Mostly cause I'm new, but I'll keep my eye out!
 
A whole bunch of skins coming with the live 1.5 ships release I think. In a week or two you will be spoiled for choice. :)

Paint Jobs, Disaponinted...

Hello Cmds, frist of all sorry about my bad english, not may main

as the le says, i'm disapointed with the paintjob seelling of this game... for its contente the game itself is not cheap
paint Jobs should be free, for real, whats the difference between a Red and a Green Python for the Devs?

well press CTRL+U on a red Picture on Photoshop and you will see
Frontier Mercenaries could put paint job as itens crafted or as some quest reward

I played 800+ hours of this game, game got boring and i cant customize my ship without spending real Money
the last paint job i saw in stores is Golden Conda, wow very nice, but its 10£ on a yellow jpeg with some shader config (wow ridiculous)

its only my opinion, some ppl may like, some may not
cant please greeks and trojans at same time

paying for single color paint job wouldn't please any i think
 
Apparently paying for a single color paint job pleases quite a few people. Frontier has to make money somehow, and plenty of people are sporting paint on their ships.

Well, I can understand why FD want to charge for skins, it helps the generate some added revenue to help maintain the game. I think the block colour packs should be a little cheaper though, and more detailed designs costing more.

The problem is, we dont really have any great skins, bar a couple here and there for the cobra and viper. And I think this is the biggest problem.

I mean how long was it before we actually got a skin for the anaconda! and basically that was just a block colour too (albeit gold reflective colour)

We need more actual designs, varied looks and styles, not just block colours. People want to express their personality through skins, and there is nothing wrong with that. I have no problems with paying for a skin that I really like and reflects my personality, and I think most others would agree with me.

We had a paintjob competition not so long ago, and there were TONS of good designs, I wish FD would pick more than just one per category, and actually give us some choice.

In essence I can understand what your meaning, but I do believe their should be some cost involved, and maybe once better designs start being released, they will lower the price of their colour packs.
 
I like adding paint jobs to my ships. Mind you, I only have two. It would be nice to see a bit more variety beyond the standard single-colour offerings.

Not sure about the colours in the 'Military Paint Packs' too. Looks like the 'Vibrant' colours after a few too many fly-bys around stars.

Added: Single-colour paint jobs would be just fine... if we had a cool range of decals to paint over the top. :)

Zanoro it makes sense, FD is trying to find a means to pay for their servers without slapping us with a subscription. Personally I think it's fine.

However I would like to add onto your thought process.

If they offered "Custom Paint jobs" ie: Cobra with flames. And allowed us to change the dominate colour on our stock paintjobs for free that would be great but it could possibly cut their revenue...
