Hamburgers must be cheaper here in the land of cowboys, LOL. On a serious note, I had a bad habit of falling in love with a ship, buying paint for it, then falling out of love with that ship to never fly it again... Oh well..
These days I no longer give Frontier any money due to the state of the game on PS4. That's a lot of extra grass-fed organic hamburgers on my dinner plate!
I'm just north of you in the less-crazy land of eternal snow (even though we had almost no snow at all this winter), but there's a lot of hi-quality burger places in my town (plus fries and gravy and a drink).
And talk about wasted paint; I look at the combination of my year in a Cobra and a bunch of expendable income at the time, and I wish I would have saved some of those for other ships. Medusa is cool, national flag is cool, OG wireframe is cool, Onionhead is cool, and none get any air time because I never fly the C3 these days.
I get called a white knight a lot, usually because I'm not being sufficiently salty to satisfy someone else's preconceptions about some really trivial video game thing. Yet whenever it comes up I say I have never and probably will never buy any cosmetics for any game as its not my thing. So I can't really see FDEV factoring my preferences into their design decisions.
I just had a look (actually, I didn't have a Cmdr so I had to start from scratch.. lol) - and it looks like they've improved the overall quality.
The kit when it was released, was really really bad. I remember hating it so much,

Don't knock the prongs!
I actually like the Viper kit.
It's not superb (like the Vulture kit) but I like the way it allows you to change the look of the ship fairly convincingly.
The only parts I really dislike are the silly "prongs" for the nose.
Shame, as I would have loved to see your Holome with that hat and mustache!
Once again, we didn't club you or your opinion. Some of us critisized the manner of your criticism.
But sure, if its my fault that the ship kits are not so good, it must mean i have real influence over FD!!!!
Yes!!!
FD, new SRVs! When? I demand them!
PS: SRV body kits, when?!
This is the most constructive way to deal with the issue. Issues with ship kits are not new, and I believe several issues in the past have already been fixed due to bug reports.
Trying to convince people to stop paying frontier is a futile effort, especially if most players are not even on this forum. If you want the problem solved: submit a bug report so devs are aware, and everyone can enjoy a better ship kit.
But that will probably only work if the OP does not use the same tone in the ticket as in the opening post.
White is the color of heavens.
In terms of practicality the forums suck for that but all things considered, the forums are really calm compared to most mainstream forums and social media such as Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and 4Chan.
Even though I think you are right in your opinion, you really need to change your attitude if you want people to take you seriously, that's not a complain from my part, that's reality.
This is not even about being polite, this is about being persuasive.
Perhaps different people have their own interpretations but the term White Knight has (for me) historically referred to those who defend the indefensible. The parents that describe their spiteful child as a 'promising footballer', the bloke with the frothing & snapping pug dog who say 'she's only like that with strangers'.
It is a disparaging term, not intended to be something to be proud of (as a title like 'geek' or 'nerd' has become).
I think the OP probably has a point about general quality & workmanship, but we don't know how difficult it is to work around the existing assets in the game. I remember it was a long time before the Conda got any paintjobs because of the damage model, and any damaged panel would revert to the standard black/dark grey for a long time. It was eventually fixed though, as hopefully will the Python Wireframe paint and the ship kit(s) the OP is frustrated by.
5-guys here in Dubai is around 60AED (which is about 12 quid).
They are nice though.
- what saddens me is that the shipkits were planned to be tied to engineering, so any change to the ship's configuration would be visible ingame. This was removed and turned into a cash cow.
- I think some of the so called white knights, the ones who irrationally climb in the contrarian role are not even real people, either sock puppets or sophisticated bots
- Some decals are also quite shoddy....stopped buying all that crap because it is never sure wether it is okayish or just plain crappy work.
mind you under EU law any online purchase can be returned and refunded within 2 weeks, so until Brexit i'd say just refund if it is excremental quality
