In celebration of "Engineer Day," which ship should I buy a paint job for?

Same here hammer, had a look, already bought many stuff from the shop. Still waiting for FD to show love to the Cutter
 
I mentioned this in another thread but today I spent £25 on skins as a thank you. Breaks down as follows:

Explorer Flight Suit Pack
Raider4 Flight Suit
Cobra MkIII Raider Pack
Corvette Predator pack
Practical & Explorer Name Packs
Boundary Ship ID
AspX Arrowhead Paint
Eagle Orange Ignition

I'm out exploring & won't be able to use most of this stuff until after Christmas but hey, positive reinforcement & all that, right? ;)

Buy something merry that cheers you up.

Thinking about it:

Valve once gave out a hat for TF2 players who weren't caught exploiting the game: "Cheater's Lament" a *wossname -a moment while i google* nimbus(?) you could equip to show off your clean slate. How about they make a skin only accessible on accounts that haven't cheated?
How about that? Some celestial skin. Sublime and pristine.

As long as it's white as salt doesn't matter what's the ship you buy it for. Gor for the Python or AspX, they look amazing in white.

Hm, had the same idea after reading the AAA Forum Threads that evolved from it :D

So that's 7 Store Items purchased...

(*yay* my CMDR finally got a chance to change Remlok suits and now has a full dresser... bet the guy is happy xD )

PS.
I also got Tactical Ice (Tactical Paintpacks) for my white Dolphin and white Imp. Eagle. And heck I'm gonna use them :)

I went for the Anaconda kit, I hope FDEV see the little spike in store sales from apreciative commanders, even a tiny bit.

Doing the Rares CG in it now, good times
 
i just bought a third account.

@OP big fan of the DBE, but there aren't many great paintjobs for it imho - especially as the standard one is quite good. i'd take one for the python, those luminiscent ones are special.

Will do the same tomorrow.

Why not today, you may ask?

Well, a dish of salmon baked in mead-and-mustard sauce and coupled with some fine draught beer isn't exactly helping with all the fuss associated with setting up additional accounts.

Create another Windows user, create another e-mail, create another Steam user, create another FD Store user... and if you screw up somewhere (and you tend to after having some beers), you'll have to search for the error. Neither salmon or beer would help you with that. Goddamn lowlifes.

So... yeah, tomorrow it is.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Just got back from the movies (finally found the time to see Wonder Woman) so this'll have to be brief.

Good idea!

Why not go for one of the darker paint packs for the Python? Both 'Military' and 'Tactical' look pretty stealthy while still being a bit more interesting than Black Friday. I'm not sure how the 'Pulse' ones look in practice, but they probably aren't very stealthy.

I'd say 'no' to the T7 because... it's a T7, and anything that encourages you to fly the galaxy's most expensive coffin for longer is a bad thing. The DBX is a harder case. It's an explorer, so it's likely to feature in lots of photos, but on the other hand, it sounds like it already has a paintjob. Plus still take the Asp side of the great Asp or DBX debate :p

The DBX is sporting a Black Friday paintjob right now. Was THAT ever a mistake, but I'm stuck with it for another three weeks at least. As for the T7... the Careful, there's a Deposit on It ('Deposit for short) is the first large ship I ever bought outside of Beta, so it has sentimental value. Plus I like the cockpit.

About the only ship I don't have skins for is the DBX. Just bought one in game now I need a skin.
Always liked the old yellow and gray paint job that used to be default. Have to check out the "Vibrant" pack.
Of course you have an SRV skin right?

With the amount of driving I do on the surface, of course. :)

I don't buy vanity items for games but today I thought I'd make an exception.

Behold the Sodium Gomorrah!!


Does that pattern come in blue?

Buy a 2nd account instead :)

I'm waiting until I see what "season" three brings. I'm not quite ready for Inga to retire yet. And by retire, I mean devoting all her time to racing. ;)

As nice as a second account may be, I'm not about to buy one if the game continues to move in the direction it currently is. I prefer my games to have verisimilitude, and Frontier seems to abandoning that in order to cater to the instant gratification crowd.

I think I'm inclined to agree with you. The Python it is.
 
Sadly, that paintjob is a one-off. Red/Black only.
I also got the Vibrant Pack if I get bored of it.

It's been Black Friday on everything up until now.
We'll see if breaking my no vanity rule once opens the floodgates.
