THIS. My Clipper is my favorite ship, and she's woefully plain compared to the rest of my fleet.
Moar Clipper things plz?

Considering that the Imperial Clipper features so prominently in one of the central ED novels, yes, I'm surprised too.
As mentioned elsewhere I'm not a fan of the new paint scheme.
That said, I can't believe some of the comments earlier about the cost of these cosmetic items!
I'm sorry, but if you're a kid living at home and having to ask Mum & Dad to use their credit card, I understand that you might want a new paint scheme for the game. However, they., I'm sure, work hard for their pay, and doubtless may baulk at giving you money for some cosmetic item in a video game! This doesn't entitle you to ask for it for even more of a pittance than it already costs!
If you're a grown adult, then frankly you should know the value of your own money. Three pounds is less than the cost of a pint in my neck of the woods. If you decide not to spend that on a cosmetic video game item, I commend your responsibility. For those that willingly pay it, taking it for what it is, I commend your support of a British company. For those that want to complain about the price, I refer you to the previous paragraph intended for children!

Many people won't be happy unless they get paid to use the skins. 1 pence would be "too much".
Thanks, missed them[yesnod]
An example of why Microtransactions damage games rather than improve them?
profit over design/ballance.
meh. not a fan of the predator skins.
I'd love to make my Cutter look like a parrot, but having to go to a base to simply apply a paintjob is an oversight.
I'm around 8K Light Years from the nearest base...
My money stays in my wallet.

It's not about fame. It's about how many people fly the ship regularly so it pays off to come up with a paintjob. That's why my favourite ships like Keelback and Viper MkIV will never receive a proper love from FD.

Hmm Id love a chrome clipper...or dayglo pink with big orange and red flowers...like an old VW camper from the 70s ^
If the keelback had some decent paintjobs, I'd probably get one
It's a downward spiral of cyclic neglect and dis-interest.
I bought this game almost two years ago because there was supposed to be awesome new content "Coming Soon". Coming Soon hah, it isn't even breathing hard. Even so, I have two (2) accounts both CMDR Deluxe at $59.99 USD each, plus the other ship kits, ship skins, bobbleheads, etc. puts me at over $200 so far into this game . . . how about you?
As someone who spend a fair amount on the store: yes, one pence would be too much in many cases for me on general principle. FD abused a half-a-decade old poll about how they could monetize things as an excuse to pretty much lock ALL cosmetics behind pretty daft prices. Sure "a paint is just a pint". But its absurd I have to pay a pint to make my spaceship blue or green or black. Fancy and complex paints? Sure. Novelty things? Fine. Basic flat colors? Outrageous. This isn't a freemium game, and FD should stop pretending it is.
I have the money. I have spend plenty on the store. Still, as a reasonable human being I can easily see how FDs marketing and monetizing behavior is shady at best.
*White Knight hat off*
I agree that some paints ought to be accessible in game. (The military paintjob as a navy mission rewards, for example)
Mainly because while I am completely okay with paying for paintjobs (especially the fancy ones),
1) some of them are crap and too expensive for free
2) to have ALL of the customization monetized is kind of ridiculous.

Chrome Cutter is still the best Cutter.
