Very disappointed about no Mamba or Phantom Black skins today :(

I've got a few Midnight Black skins, but I don't really think it's fair to demand them for unreleased ships. Not having any clue how much work goes into making a paint job, I'd suspect that the artists have other things lined up too.

At least I can get a black skin for my Krait MK. II, so that's cool. And there'll probably be cool stuff for the Christmas countdown too, so eh, I can wait.

Besides, the red ones go faster. It's a fact. Even orks know this.
 
Actually, it's this kind of entitled thread that makes me sad for Frontier devs, having to read this nonsense.

You must be very sensitive. Don't worry, Frontier aren't, and this is hardly something that's going to make them sad. I personally don't think they don't give a toss (about our wants and needs), but it is a perception that the community has and I referred to it as a fact.

I congratulate them heartily for their successes as well, my feedback is balanced. Lastly, as salty threads go, this is pretty weak. :)

Calling my thread nonsense made me sad, though. :(
 
Usually I'm all on board for a nice complain-session about paintjobs, but Midnight Black is so wildly overrated, overhyped, overused, and just plain boring, I can not muster a single crap, try as I might. :)

I wanted discounts on older skins, I was all set to splash out on four new paintpacks.

Someone did leave some pretty good advice though. I'll repurpose it for myself and for those upset about not being able to be all teenager-emo-black in their new spaceships right away:

Try not be so sensationalist.

;)
 
I'd thought it was interesting in a recent FD post they mentioned the mamba as being a "hot rod" ship. Maybe they be could planning to come out with a "hot rod car" color pack for the mamba which may include "pontiac red, corvette black, celica white" etc.

k, ya got me. :D
 
Black paintjobs have only been available on Black Friday until the following Sunday or by purchasing the Horizons pre-order (I think that's what it was).

Therefore, it is a fair assumption that I will have to wait until next year to get black paint for a mamba or a pahntom? If you have something specific in mind that I might not be considering, pelase share!

Perhaps this is the special content that was promised in Beyond for early backers: they will get the midnight skins when those ships go live (or may even have them now in Beta) and the rest of us have to wait until this time next year.

As "the rest of us" still have to pay for them either way, I am also disappointed they aren't available now.

In all fairness, the T-10 debuted a few weeks after last Black Friday and we're only getting it's paint job now. So there is precedent.
 
Come off it, we'll have the ships in one month and no black paintjobs for another 11. It surprises you that this would bother someone who wants his whole fleet black? Did you even see the thread I linked in the OP?

Try not be so sensationalist. It;s not like it's something 'they will add in future', it's already in beta.

There is no comparison between this and selling stuff that doesn't exist in a certain other franchise, but go on, make out as if we're crazy, if that floats your boat. :)

Physician, heal thyself :D
 
Yeh yeh, someone else beat you to it. :p

lolz

Black friday are the Horizons pre-order paints that came in one massive pack. Midnight black is the subsequent black friday sales. They are called differently so our pre-order bonus is still 'unique' AFAIK.

You do realise that you've probably just prompted the next Cobra Mk4 thread there, right?

COME ON FDEV, JUST CALL IT THE KOBRA MK4!!!! Etc.
 
So... if I were to acquire the licensing from Frontier and then hire a shipyard to construct a quad-engine cruiser that was a replica of an Orca, should I then be upset that I can’t get a bunch of Frontier interns to paint it Midnight Black for the $3 I already paid, rather than the industry standard of around $12,000 for something that sized (top and bottom coat), or does that sound just as ridiculous as complaining about not having accessories for something not yet released?

Perhaps we should also complain about the lack of Midnight paint jobs for our fleet carries we don’t yet have either.

C’mon, let them at least finish the Vibrant and Tactical paint packs first.
 
edit: Title changed because it wasn't accurate as another user pointed out. Fair comment.

Yes, I'm annoyed.

Where is the black paint for Mamba and Phantom?

Are you seriously telling us that we now have to wait 52 weeks?

Please reconsider before the end of the Black Friday sale IF at all possible. How hard can it be to paint bucket a few textures black?

It's this kind of stuff that makes people think you don't give a toss. Especially since you painted the stock ship gaudy red, we NEED other options AT LAUNCH (and please, tactical sucks balls, I want Black, ALL my ships are black). Red's alright, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

What a missed opportunity.

edit: And on the back of so much pure support for this thread... <sigh>

Much to do about nothing.
Are you really upset because you don't get to have a certain skin for a certain ship in a certain game?
It is hard to believe.

This one has not even made it on my list of 33 billion 355 thousand and 532 extremely unimportant things.
 
Seeing as FDev have never made paintjobs purchaseable before the respective ships are on the live servers, my guess is they'll be available during the annual Xmas special-cosmetics sale event
 
Not to be facetious, but Star Citizen is game that'll sell you cosmetics for unreleased content. Could be a policy stance with FDev or they've just got a release queue that's planned well in advance.
