I agree, FD should make loads more paint jobs so we can support them more. I'm surprised they've been so passive with this. I wonder what the ratio is for time taken to create a new paint job (not just a new colour set) against how much money they make on sales.

I'd have thought regularly released new art would resolve to regularly received cash.

I think there are a whole bunch incoming with the 1.4 actual live release. More gold, more vibrant/military/tactical for other ships and more nationality skins.

Makes sense, 1.5 is the "ships" release after all.

Plus a festive bobblehead. =p

It'd be great, but I wouldn't hold your breath. We saw no new paint jobs for the ships recently introduced - and still have more (Courier, DBS, DBX, Imperial Eagle etc.). I've said it before (feels like a million times) and I'll say it again: FD - please think about simply cutting and pasting the many varied NPC paint jobs and putting them onto the store for a price... No extra development required and insta-money!
 
There's an option to add skull livery into you ship. Nice for pirates, but I'd like to see more choices like that. For example, something for bounty hunters. Targeting cross upon a ship or just plain targeting cross perhaps. Or if you enjoy those civil war conflicts perhaps a weapon as a sign of being in military. Imperial, Federal and Alliance liveries would be nice too.

Also, instead of those bobbleheads, I'd like an option to add working clock into my cockpit screen. As some missions are time sensitive, this would help keeping track with quests. Perhaps with alarm system that you could set up?

Working clock "bobblehead" actually sounds AWESOME!
 
Does the 'Stars and Stripes' Viper paint job bother anyone else? I know some look like they're waving, offset, tilted, etc., but this is not representative of any iteration of Old Glory I know of.

No actually I kind of like it. If there was such a paint job for my AspX I'd probably get it. I actually like a lot of the various nation flag paint jobs.

I put my money where my mouth is and got a Viper III stars and stripes paintjob, and bought a Viper III to put it on. Then I took her trolling around the system interdicting pirates and killing them while shouting AMERICA at them over and over.

So yes. I'm having a lot of fun with this paintjob.
 
So far, the nicest color is the midnight black on the ships I've used this far. I would like to still see a metallic silver for the Cutter, even though I reset the game and I cannot even afford an advance scanner yet :)
 
So, do we have a timeline on F.A.S. skins?

There are quite a few I would love to get my hands on. Also, are there any plans for player submitted skins?
 
my main want is skins for the federal ships
my corvette is a beautiful monster but I like to change things up every now and again

I also like how you can have magnets on the dash, maybe changes such as interior and possibly even displays? nothing that would give an unfair advantage, just maybe some slick lights and shiny things. Variety is the spice of life, or death for those outside my shields.
 
Can we have a skin for the keelback, please? I know that nobody but me flies one, but I just got paid and I'd like to burn some money. Also, there should probably be at least one skin option for each ship in the game...
