Black friday stuff

Um...

Why are the new black friday skins not available for my Krait, Condor, Taipan...etc even though I pre-ordered Horizon. I should have them already unlocked.

I don't find this particularly funny, I shouldn't have to buy them twice.

In an act of absolute dairy farmery, only the ships that were available at that time were included in that one time pre-order deal. Any ships released after that point aren't included.

I know, it's stupid aint it, but that's cosmetic micro transactions for you bud.
 
Picked up all the Imperial Midnight Black paint jobs, the blue accent lights look really nice against that black paint.
 
I must have gotten most of the Midnight Black paintjobs in a bundle (with buying Horizons on black Friday??). May add Krait and Chieftain.

Though I have to say 2 GBP for 1 solid black paintjob instead of the normal 3 GBP for 6 paintjobs doesn't sound like a great deal. :(

Well, it's a special offer...

Then why do they all now say THREE QUID!?

Figured I'd give it a few hours for the excitement to ease back and not risk getting trampled in the rush. Store definitely said all the blacks were TWO QUID yesterday, before the T10 was added and now everything has gone up?

What's all this about FDev?

Where's the thing that says get in quick before the prices suddenly and magically inflate by 50% a few hours after the sale starts?

Bait and switch much? Totally no fair! :(

Edit: Oh wait, nvm lol :p
Opened a dodgy link in bucks not quids, doh! :p
Better get in quick before the magic wears off...

Is 'Midnight Black' the same as the 'Black Friday' paintjobs I have been hearing about for a year? About 2 weeks ago I wrote an email to Frontier Support asking if "the Black Friday paintjobs" would be available this month. A chap writes back to me this morning saying they're not available, they might come back someday. Then browsing the livery tab I find the 'Midnight Black'. Well, it looks nice on my Orca and Vette. But it strikes me more as priests' socks black rather than say, Hot Black's spaceship black.
 
Did LEPers get the black for the Beluga? I can't remember. Otherwise, I will buy the paint - I'm sure I will need a stealth Beluga some time in the future. And one for the Krait ... I know I don't have that yet.
 
I have the black paint jobs for my current ships. Hoping to see one for the Mamba. Looking to get that when it goes live.
 
Black Friday is supposed to be the "Official" start of the Christmas shopping season. The Friday after Thanksgiving which is always on a different date over here. Kinda sad to see what it's become. Now with the rise of online shopping they've added Cyber Monday to the fray....
 
I decided to buy the Midnight paintjob for one of my Corvettes.

Here's the Corvette in it's dull, boring, mundane, Tactical Graphite paintjob.

And here it is in it's cool, sexy, badass, Midnight paintjob.

It just looks so much nicer and totally changes the....

Actually, I think I might've got those pictures the wrong way around. :eek:
Maybe.
Not really sure.

But, yeah, the Midnight paintjob is just so much nicer and makes a big difference. [where is it]
 
And the Tactical one costs 50p as opposed to £2. (pack of 6 for £3)

Black Friday sale, where everyone gets to pay more money and nothing is discounted!

This realy made me chuckle.

So true.
 
Sooo... I'm in Canada and can't place BF skins in my cart on the Frontier Store unless I pay in pounds. When I switch to USD they disappear from the cart.
Going to try in-game.

EDIT: Works in-game. 3 bucks each.

I think people are forgetting there was a massive sale just a couple of weeks ago.
 
Not a lot of pics in this thread really are there? So thought you guys would like to see some. Behold my Orca in Midnight Black.

I notice there's an "Up to 60% off" banner on the front of the store.

I had a quick look through, noticed that some of the roller-coaster stuff is on sale but I didn't see anything ED related on sale.

Anybody know if there are any ED-related sale items?

Well the game itself and Horizons are both 60% off.
 
I treated myself to a good few yesterday. I have to say they are a real mixed bag. The AspX for example is excellent, being a nice even matt black all over. The Krait MkII is rather disappointing by contrast, with the black being broken up all over the place by grey edges to all the hull plates. Dito on the T9 and Anaconda.
 
I have to say I think the Chieftain and the Challenger both look absolutely beast in black. I'll post a pic later.

There you go Frontier, I made up for my over critical thread about the Mamba and Phantom black paint jobs. You'll get a few extras out of this post and the subsequent pics. So do me a favour and put the new ship paint jobs on the 12 days of christmas, will ya? Otherwise you'll find a horse's head in your bed. Capiche? ;)
