Changing Ship Paint

I don’t mind purchasing ship paint packs knowing that it helps support the development of ED but having to only change ship paint in a station is a pain. I am out on a Planet surface trying to get a screen shot and find out the shot needs a different color ship to look good or just want to see what it would look like with different ship colors. You just know what condition you may find so it’s hard to plan ahead for a great screen shot.
I plan on going out on a exploring trip and I am not looking forward to only having one ship color for a couple of months. Fdevs how about letting us change our ship paint color from our ship and not only in stations. Or how about having ship color lipids… :D

It's worse than that. Not even every station offers it. Why??? I don't understand why Livery is not an option at EVERY. SINGLE. STATION. Period.

And why can't ai change SRV/SLaf skins at any time? If I can print an SLF, surely a paintjob isn't beyond technology.

Bobbleheads - why do I need a station tech to glue a bobblehead to the dash? Should be able to do that at any time...

It's an outrage, that's what it is!

I was bounty hunting in a RES the other day and suddenly had a craving for hot-pockets. Turns out my Corvette, doesn't even have a kitchen!? A billion credits and not so much as god damn easy-bake!

Get it together FDev!

I'm sorry that you fashionistas feel the need to instantaneously change your paint jobs on your ships wherever you please. But let me pop something off to you on this to help you with your fashion crises and calamities.

Can you change the paint jobs on your cars wherever you want? On the road? In a field somewhere? Driving into any garage or petrol station? Rest Stops?

No?

What's that you say? You can only do that in specialized shops?

Yes, well... While it might feel arbitrary and petty because -- wait for it -- it's only a game, but I'll throw them a little leeway for their eccentric choices as to maintaining a sense of realism. This is one of those examples.

I have had the same experience where I felt another paint job would look better in a certain screenshot, but...
I think changing paint jobs is definitely a feature that should only be possible in stations.

I did not think of that, but indeed that would be no problem at all.

If in the future we might be able to change interior paint jobs then that would also be a feature that should only be available in a station.

It's a GAME you can swap planes in flight simulator instantly change the skin on your Boeing 747 while on the runway, it's a GAME it doesn't need to have the same restrictions as real life. Add changing skins and weapon colours + engine colours and while your at it, let us have apply different colours to each of the weapons per weapon, so beam lasers can be a different colour to multi-canons for eg.

One of the reasons that keep me playing this game is its overwhelming beauty and exploring looking for interesting places. This game spender was the main motivation to get a Vive VR setup, that I absolutely love, also when playing in VR you’re not playing the game you are in the game!!!
When out exploring I like to take screenshots of the spectacular sights found in our ED universe and a dark ship on a dark background or a light ship on a light background just looks blah. I spend hours just flying out looking for some of these more inserting places and you just don’t know what conditions you may find. Going out with a light or dark ship I am losing half of my photo opportunities. With no station around I have taken shots and when viewing them find that there is just no visual impact and they get deleted.
After all we are buying these extras with real money and it’s a game we play for our enjoyment. I don’t see any problem with ship visual configuration outside of the bubble.
I think Frontier will sell more extras.
