The white Federal Assault Ship

CMDR Zadian Lichtfrost · Dec 16, 2015

I was a little surprised that my FAS became white with the midnight black paint job. Looks nice, a bit too bright, but cool.

I'm currently reviewing my orders if I have to go to the Empire for some sneaky missions. I guess that's what the Fed Navy thinks is a good camo for Empire Space …

And they expect you to provide your own blue glowsticks for the highlights. Typical Federation bureaucrats henpecking the military budget....

Fly nonchalantly! They'll never figure it out.

That's weird. My FAS didn't change at all. Since it's stock is quite similar to black friday I thought ... figures. Still no paint job for the FAS. It certainly did not become white.

EDIT: What the hell...now it's white.

Do they even still exist in the Elite universe?

Yes, they exist! 30,000 representatives, and there is now a 500 member strong security council. Unfortunately a single veto can still block anything happening. Also, helmet is a slightly different shade of blue.

I like it. Totally need a UN white to counter the midnight black... hell they should do that, UN white to anyone that buys horizons after the release.

And they're still un-involved in peace right?

My FAS was the one ship in my fleet that I wanted to be black. B5 omega.
Looks good though

Heater · Dec 16, 2015

I like it

Phantasma · Dec 16, 2015

Oh please leave it that way. The stock FAS is almost black anyway.
I love that look!

I was somewhat surprised, after applying the paintjob, that my Federal Assault Ship had turned Imperial. It is quite a nice look though!

Nice bug!

I think it looks awesome. Someone take one down to an ice planet and take some shots - it'll look awesome!

Yes! Someone do this before it gets hotfixed.

I need to find an awesome looking ice planet first. The one I found was not that spectacular (it was a moon).
