FD, are you serious? New Dolphin and Orca paints :(

I'm not a 501(c)(3), but that's pretty cool. Gonna send that along to my wife, who works just such a non-profit who could use a license like that. Thanks!

If you are, or work for a 501(c)(3), these folks are absolutely incredible. Might take them a day or two, but for the cost savings... you absolutely cannot beat it.
 
Because it could (should) have been piano black...

Maybe if everybody sobs together they will put it on sale again this christmas :D

Some (not me) seem to hate the "Wayfarer" paint jobs for one reason or another.


Just look at the above images.

Then imagine you've managed to pick up one of those lucrative "local crime lord goes sightseeing" (of course they're not called that, but if a successful businessman has to avoid being scanned at all cost?) contracts.

Don Vito Corleone arrives at your docking bay and sees that ship.....

...... and says: Perfect! Now I will blend in with the tourists.

Isn't this really about those who didn't get the black Friday skin when it was available? :O

For someone like that I would probably use Tactical Graphite (or more likely a more military oriented ship).

However, there is the point that such a paint job would add a degree of obscurity, after all who would expect a mafia boss to fly on a seemingly regular commercial flight.

Yes they are serious. And the tragic news is, its completely unneccessary to insult the dev team if you dont like certain paintjobs - simply vote with your wallet and FRAKING DONT BUY THEM.

I was waiting all the time for a dolphin paintjob to go with my beluga united paintjob - and voila - I just got it and I'm happy with it.
(See what I did there? Instead of insulting the dev team, I voted with my walled as well - but in the other direction :) )

I love my new tourist paintjob.



Beluga United Paintjob on my "Fhloston Paradise" for comparison (I think they go well together)

You had to do it. You actually had to go and do it. Use the nicest of these paintjobs and place the ship in a flattering setting so that it actually looks good.

Is the green really that glossy?

Nice one ! I am happy with the new Dolphin and Orca paintpack so far ;) More will come for sure ;)

Thank you Roostrat, finally someone posted some Dolphin pics!

See, this is why the Elite Store needs better previews, Roostrat's pics show much more detail than I expected from the store pictures. That looks even better than I thought it would. I think I'm going to buy this paint pack.

I love the little coloured dot on the rear wing - it's all the little details!

Hehe of course.. since they are tourist ships it only seemed the right thing to do to park them in touristic or services space stations (the ones with palm trees and parks etc..) to get some fitting screenshots.
Those stations seem to have a rather neutral white/bright lightning..

Above screenshots taken in my HQ Station M. Gorbachev in Sol.

I wouldnt recommend taking pictures in industrial/military stations - those pictures will only scare away my potential customers. :-D

The green is that glossy - at least it looks like that with my graphic card - I didnt touch the colouring on the screenshots.
It was a straight "printscreen" to jpg and then upload to the internet.
