Look at those scratch! And look over there... it's completely missing... And check the nose! Even the primer has gone!!
Deep core exploration's got a very high price on this beauty...

That's beautiful.

So I've literally never fixed the paint on any of my ships since the day I realized what that was doing back in the sidewinder days. One of my older ships is just starting to really show, but not nearly as bad (good) as this. Am I really weird?

I guess you're not, which is why it was changed so "repair all" didn't include the paintwork.

Do not confuse product quality with labor quality. Even the best paint won't last if the painting guy don't know what he's doing. Blame low wage station service for their lazy work...

Did you go more than 1,000Ly on that paint job? Sorry mate, out of warranty...

These yokels who buy a city paint job for their dirtcrawlers.... They'll never learn!

I knew these Frame Shift Drives were not safe.

"Force of Nature" (S07, E09) is the 161st episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. In this episode, a pair of sibling scientists show that warp drive propulsion is harming the very fabric of space -- an implied metaphor for global climate change (which is mentioned explicitly in the episode's final scene).

Oh yeah, I remember that! And that was why Voyager had the variable-geometry warp nacelles- they were supposed to adjust based on speed and environmental conditions. Of course, in practice on the show, they only went full up or full down, because Berman.

In the guitar world that is called a Relic and people pay good money for an effect like that. You have a nice vintage looking ship there.

The 10cr respray is going to push you into the red. You're going to have to sell some modules to cover the cost.

There's this - uhhh - place on an outpost out in the Pleidaes where the ladies are quite friendly and the ale is real cheap. For 10 cr you can get... well let's just say - your money's worth.

Moral of the story. 10 cr wasted anywhere is 10 cr that could have been spent more joyously somewhere else.

When I get back from DW2 I am going to retire my ship just as It is, leave it as a old crusty veteran with much love and memories

I'm out in the void so much that all my paint jobs look like that. Gave up bothering to reapply them as they'd be back to 0% within a couple days usually anyway.

Wouldn't mind if they degraded 100 to 1000 times slower. That way they'd look more like I went to Beagle Point and back when I actually go to Beagle Point and back.

Not sure what kind of badge of honor it is for being able to go AFK for a couple hours in supercruise anyway. 😴
