Kudos for the critical role gif, commander!
As for the topic of wire frames. Shrug. No opinion.

Nice picture, Cmdr.
Off to buy the paintjob...and I don't have a Python

Prepare for the retcon of all old Elite game assets.
I saw your Python wireframe skin go on sale and I was about to buy it but something didn't look quite right.
Original Python:

New Python:

as you can see, the new wireframe is wrong and doesn't match the original
if you would kindly correct it, I would immediately buy one!
Fairly certain your picture of the original was taken side on, not top down.
Wrong.
FDEV artistic department messed it up, put the side view on top of the Python (new paintjob).

It's the one on the right in Steed's post above.

It's a mix of the two, the front 2 bars are inverted from the side view.

I don't even own it.
I know SJA is good but if she's managed to implement MK1 eyeball for the NPC she is really good!
And why? Sheer nostalgia, that's why. Ordering now. Wrong or not it looks amazing.
And on the subject of nostalgia FD, pick a rarely visited out of the way system with a coriolis station, turn off all the lights on it, and give it a wireframe paint job. Awesome easter egg!

I'd still get it, if I hadn't run my paint job down to about 2%. Not cleaning up just yet!

Same here. Its wrong . FD fix it please. I will give you coin.
I don't think it is fixable. The problem is trying to get the wireframe to follow the lines of the ship and the in-game version of the Python simply doesn't match the shape of the old one. They would probably have to redesign the entire ship just to get the lines to follow the shape of the vessel in a way that doesn't drive us "old timers" crazy. Looking forward to whatever they do with the Asp.

The interesting thing is (unless they've changed it) the wear on your paint job doesn't go away when you apply a new skin to your ship. You still have to go into advanced maintenance and repair it there.
