Ships Broken Paintjobs

[Ryan Murdoc]

Seems certain Paintjobs for Ships are broken. I would like to ask the Community to check if it's just a problem on my end, or in General.

Python Pulse Variants only show as white, and not the corresponding Color:

Python Squadron Paintjobs come across as very dirty and used:

Has anyone noticed the same for the Python, or on other Ship Paintjobs as well?

I think the emissive paints are reflective and additive, basically meaning that you won't see the green until you get it out of the light into the dark. Try it on the main menu's preview and turn off the lights.
And the squadron green looks like normal paint wear and tear. You can use the advanced maintenance to reset it to pristine (or at least confirm it is looking dirty and used).

Squadron paints have always been that way, which is a massive shame, because I love the design for some of my racing ships, but the execution is bad IMO. I get the concept of a paint being used up and battered in fights and what not, but I'd definitely prefer a clean, brand new look.

If my understanding is correct the squadron paintjobs are deliberately tattered, in the style of Star Wars and its "used space" aesthetics. A clean version of them would be nice, I quite like these liveries, too, but would prefer them fresh

To the OP: these two paintjobs look as they are meant, but there definitely are broken paintjobs: Military Sand and Desert Sand are too dark and saturated, Tactical Graphite and Ice are too grey, one of the Noble paintjobs on Krait MKII was black instead of colourful last I checked, Crypsis paintjobs are very low res and pixelated, Iridescent Gleam is less gleamy.

Also, white decals and nameplates are grey, not white on most liveries—but are fine on Midnight Black, which itself is more graphite than deep black.

I am very keenly remembering that Pulse changed the Colours while selecting them in the regular Screen. Also when equipped, they remain White. As for the Squadron version, maybe I didn't check on them for years, but I could swear they were a lot cleaner looking, or at least less pixelated.
