Actually reminded me more of those cheap Dell netbooks from a few years ago:
Having said that, I don't hate them.

How about Creative Cloud (All Apps) for $5 - http://www.techsoup.org/products/ad...-–-access-to-discounted-rates--G-49388--Tasks
And honestly, I would likely spend more than just $4-$6 for a more inclusive pack, and I'm sure others would too, but certainly not $120. Of course, we're talking about gamers, and among them live those who have spent upwards of $10,000 on auction sites for virtual items. https://successstory.com/spendit/most-expensive-virtual-items-in-video-games
There's little left the human race could possibly do to surprise me.
They're ok, though I might argue the purple looks more pink to me. What I'd love is more Chris Foss inspired paint schemes as the only ones we have are the Turbulence pack on the T6
I quite like those, although it is difficult to tell with the terrible way Frontier display skins on their store.
And that one includes at least 1 extra shade of grey
Cobra and Eagle have the Red/Orange Ignition paint jobs. Ive had the Orange on my Cobra since I got the ship. I'm adding the Reaver Kit, and its the down-and-dirty pirate ship I've always wanted. They really need to make the Ignition paints for the other ships!
As far as these new ones go, I approve of variety, so having some non-combat paintjobs is refreshing. Now we need some fun and happy decals to put with them! Flowers and smiley faces seem appropriate. Maybe I'll add the Onionhead decal to the green paintjob...
I think the new Dolphin paintworks look much better than this - https://www.frontierstore.net/game-...xtras/imperial-clipper-dazzle-paint-pack.html. Couldn't imagine why someone would want to change their beautiful Clipper into this, but I have seen them post pics [blah]
Cosmetics are art and therefore judged subjectively. Don't like don't buy. It's not rocket surgery.
Not liking something doesn't mean it's terrible. You're probably just looking at his work through the wrong mindset and preconceptions to be able to appreciate the skillful and artistic representation of his subjects and the viewer's perception of them. That last bit is an important piece to the puzzle, I think.
I don't like American country music (if such a thing even exists), nor Americana pop, but I think the following is pretty damn brilliant in its skillful and emotional execution.

Offtopic, but in my opinion, to me, they are terrible. To you they may not be. I am not looking through the wrong mindset, I am looking through my perception of what's beautiful and what's ugly. Art cannot be judged objectively. It is both good and bad at the same time. It's like Schrodinger's cat
Where is the line between art and kitch? What makes art art? It's an expression of artist's emotions, feelings etc. Who's to say that this form of expression is bad and that one is good.
But that's a topic that's been discussed since forever.

If you're going to bother respecting someone's life work, at least do it honestly. Steve Jobs was a revolutionary computer and technology marketing pitch guy, getting people to part with their money based primarily on how they were persuaded to feel about Apple branded electronic machines instead of the technical capabilities of the machines themselves. For a technology related industry and their products, this was pretty ambitious and not always successful.

I agree with the general stance of those highlighting the new paint designs as being more airline/commercial themed. It will not be everyone's cup of tea but that is the general point with having a variety of paint job options.
Since FD seem to be moving more towards enhancing existing content and there seems to be a moratorium on adding new real features for a while (atmospheric landings and possibly walking about being the two most anticipated NEW features that seem to be on the back burner) perhaps a wider range of paint jobs (and ship kits) will start appearing across the board.

Here, I found this for you. Seems like you could use it:
