A Paint Job Proposal to FDEV
- Thread starter K-Rose
- Start date
Seconded - I'm more than a bit bemused to be honest - given they seem able to make (e.g.) the black Friday paints for all ships fairly quickly, it does rather suggest they are not too intensive to produce. (Not saying I know this, so I'm happy to be wrong!)
I'd also like 'variety packs' for all ships - e.g. like the Cobra Nest paint pack - rather than the mono-themed packs so many ships get.
And pretty please, any paint for the FAS.
Edit: Just as a thought re: the Black Friday paints specifically - it is kind of available, in the Tactical packs, in graphite.

Painful thing for me is that the Black Friday paints are already in the game, the only work is putting them on the store 
After seeing the Viper Mk IV in black, I neeeeeeeeed it! Hell I'd be happy to pay £5-£10 just for the one paint job for the Viper.. What happened to old fashioned bartering, I might try raising a support ticket.

You'll just have to wait until the next black friday!

Didn't everyone get the Black Friday for free?
The tactical graphite is a dark grey. It's pretty good
I would love to get a chrome cobra mk3.

it's called the "Black Friday" paint job. I think that gives a pretty good indication when it might be available again.
I was contemplating the chrome paintjob for the Vulture but then realised that it was £10 for basically glossy black. If it was proper chrome though I wouldn't hesitate. I generally prefer really bright garish colours that stand out, especially considering that space is generally black so you need a good contrast.

It was a limited offer for people preordering Horzins until 1.dec. or people being backers or owning a lifetime pass.
But I would love to see more skins and decals, especially many of the ships that came after the initial release have only the default paintjob.
Mean that is easy made money. I bought a Cobra paintpack way back and have never flown a cobra.
I flew one in Beta and thought I would do the same when it goes life but then flew the Viper III, but I also have the golden chrome for the Viper III.

I wonder if that would count as "retro" from an in-universe perspective… "Ancient Electronics" paint job
This again. Has been proposed already. It was called a black friday paint job pack because of a black friday deal. This was an exclusive to those who preordered horizons before a certain date. If you didn't then you don't get it, simple.
Making it available through the store devalues the paint job for all those that paid for that exclusivity.
If you think it will make your chances better in pvp then you might need to focus you attention on improving skill instead. It makes hardly any difference.
Some people who preordered before Dec 1st would throw a fit, unfortunately. I picked up Eliteangerous around the Steam Sale (had never heard of it before) and preordered Horizons Dec 6th so I got access to the Mark IV but not the Friday paint.
I'm hoping that it becomes available next Black Friday or they sell the paints individually for each ship. Selling them individual would net a ton of money probably and shouldn't off the pre-orderers that are adverse to sharing.

It's pretty simple although will still annoy myself and anyone else who preordered that cares, they tweak the paintjob a bit so it's not exactly the same, call it "twilight black" or some and stick that on the store. They would be able to do that without horizon preorder folk being able to do much about it.
I'd prefer they didn't do that obviously.

The only paint job worthy of being used on the cobra, is the wire frame one
Of course, that's if you have it
This - if anyone from Frontier is reading this I would gladly re-mortgage my home to buy this paint job for my Cobra MkIII... just get it up their quick before I have to explain the debt to my wife!
