Am I the only one who thinks the Type-10 "Midnight Black" skin should be BLACK?

[JetsonRING]

Initially I thought it looked pretty cool but having looked it over in detail and out of the hangar, the Type-10 Midnight Black skin has far too much space that is not black.

The topside surface looks like a giant checkerboard of silver, black and grey.
On a ship the size and shape of the Type-10 it really stands out.
Why do we need giant silver and grey painted areas on a supposedly "Midnight Black" ship?

Sort of defeats the purpose of having a BLACK ship, doesn't it?


Am I the only one who believes if we pay for a premium for a Midnight Black ship's skin, it be almost or ALL BLACK?

Come on, look at this. It stands out like a sore thumb, it looks like it should be called "Checkerboard" or maybe even "Zebra". I paid a premium for "Midnight Black", not "partly" or "sort of" midnight black . . .

Rest assured, "black" is only a question of definition. In 3.3, the sky above Shinrarta will be a in brown tone mostly in VR. So if you want to be invisible against the space background, brown might be what you are really looking for

I guess the next premium paint series will need to be called "doo-doo Brown".

PS: The "Tactical" brown is exactly the same but brown where this is black. This "Midnight Black" is the ultimate low-to-no effort job.

Not all parts of the hull gets painted. This js mostly visible when having corroded paintjob on the Krait MK.II. Only around 60% of the hull gets painted, the remaining parts stay grey, especially around the SLF hangar and on top.
Sad that....

This.
Just select some other (white or vibrant) skin and you'll see that those are parts that never get painted over. Other ships have those too.

And a Type 10 is so... unobtrusive.. otherwise too!

I'm outraged.

Outraged I say.
