I've seen a few comments along the lines of 'come on FDev it looks amateurish' and I mean a few. I assume it was interfering with their 'mursions or something.
As I said I didn't buy the kit so I don't have a personal axe to grind here but if they'd done it to the Python kit which I do own, I can't say I'd be thinking 'oh well never mind, what's my eight quid compared to some random on the internet's ability to pretend more effectively.'
To easy and what would I have to moan about then....?

I would realy like to see a comment on this issue by FD, whether they'll give me back the shipkit that I bought or not.
They said that they reed most posts so this most likely hasn't gone by unnoticed.
If they decide to keep this monstrosity then I will definitely request a refund.
So FD what about it?

Oh how I long for the days when an inconceivable change to an already ugly ship kit was something that upset me. <sigh>
This should be the top and bottom of it.
A cosmetic item has the sole purpose of altering the way a ship looks.
You buy it on the basis of whether you like the way it looks.
If they then change the way it makes your ship look, it's no longer the product you paid for.
If that means you no longer like the way it makes your ship look, you should be entitled to a refund.
Although I agree I would rather see them change the kit back to how it was, I realy liked that shipkit.
If they don't however then I will definitely request a refund.
Instead of a refund how about a donation to SPECIALEFFECT?
If people want to donate to a charity, I'm sure they can decide that for themselves.
No I'm not, just saying I like almost all posts (and I included some subjects that were written before here) and they all matter. Happy to know people share my views and great to get some momentum going. Hoping frontier will pick this up and change it back or have a solution in the next small update with retracting ship kits, they can use my fortune I spent in the frontierstore for the development costs.

I agree with the rest of you. This isn't what I paid for. I can only hope it was unintentional.
Some peeps have probably bought the kit since the change, and would now get upset if it suddenly changed back! Preferred how it looked before, I get that it was because of the clipping (and maybe other reasons we're not aware of).
But it feels a bit... underhand.
Maybe they have said at some point they were going to look at any issues with it, I never saw anything myself.
Meh, I don't like the standard look, I'll probably settle for how it is now.
Twas nice to have a moan about it.

I didn't see it either, but supposedly the scale of the ship kit parts have been toned down. The argument "This isn't what I paid for" is objectively incorrect as the size was never advertised, it still looks the same, just scaled down a little to avoid clipping. Now if it was suddenly a Raider ship kit or a different color than your ship or missing a part, there might be a real argument here. Yes, the parts are a bit smaller than they were, but it's not a night/day difference and it cleans up an issue with it, which Frontier is well within their rights to do. Too much hyperbole going on here, go ask for your refunds, argue with support about it already.
Refunds should be available for those who want them in this case; that's only good customer service.
I do think our esteemed devs should have just left well enough alone. Clipping? For maybe a second or two? Has anyone seen what No Man's Sky is like in that regard? Slippery slope perhaps, but let this one slide and look closer before releasing these things in the future.
