Question: will you make available the iridescent paintjobs too?

I'm hoping to see the Ascendant flight suits for sale - I need them to match my chromed type 7 so I can look shiny while subtly approving of Bruce's tactics.

I would buy every bobblehead but when the cost of 1 is 3 times more than the cost of a paintjob... :(

I would love to hear the reasoning behind this. My guess is that the bobbleheads require significantly more work in house than a paintjob does. But I'm not sure that transfers in virtual currency. But yeah, when you can buy a basic paint job for 620 and then a bobblehead is TEN TIMES more expensive, my head cannon needs a Tylenol. It cost ten times less to paint a ship the length of a 747 than it does to put a plastic doodad on my dash?

I don't think scale matters...

I'm guessing the thought is that if you buy a paintjob it's only available for that one ship, and you might have thirty ... whereas if you buy a bobblehead it's instantly usable on all your ships and you might have thirty. (Similarly the fairly high prices for weapon and engine colours, which don't require any art work as such)

Presumably since it's been consistent this way for years they do in fact get enough people paying not to drop the prices.
