Chrome and Gold are back in the store

[Three Stars]

Those are the old mirror finish paints that went away years ago. They’re only available for old ships, as they stopped making these paints at some point.

They’re discounted to 6500 ARX except for the Corvette and Gunship for some reason.

Yep. Chromed and Golden have the brushed metal finish. Chrome and Gold have the mirror finish.

Python mkII, Type-8 and Mandalay (and I'm going to pre-empt things here and add the Cobra mkV) do not have chrome, chromed, gold or golden paintjobs.

It's a mystery to me why the chrome and gold paints would be removed in the first place. Hopefully the new ships will have their versions at some point in the not too distant future.

The cynical side of me wants to say because a lot of people have just gained their Federation ranks for these ships due to Sol evac missions and will probably want a nice paint job to go with it. Hopefully it is just an oversight though.

I'm still waiting for chrome or chromed carrier

They looked quite different in ED back in 2015 than they do now in the newer game engine. Lots of paintjobs were broken in the engine update, but chrome and gold suddenly looked fantastic, the way they were intended.

I am disappointed at how few Gold and Chrome paints there are compared to Golden and Chromed.
The good paints being mostly on ships I don’t have or use doesn’t help.

I saw that too…it would be nice if Frontier would confirm this either way…I really want a chrome Mandy.

All in Chrome. Make it so.

Really enjoy the environmental reflections; now if they get that Anti-Aliasing update done. Visuals, visuals and Stellar Forge.

My beloved Type-10 is also missing AND all the SLF and SRV.. PLEASE

 

[metatheurgist]

And why does the poor V4 not have a discount on its Chrome???!!!

 

[GroG79]

Still can not find the Panther Clipper in the store

And why does the poor V4 not have a discount on its Chrome???!!!

It does. Checked both my order from yesterday and the current price displayed in the shop, the Viper IV Chrome is discounted from 10k to 6500 as of right now.

My guess is: The usual inconsistancies and fluctuations of the shop page.

These single colour designs really should be available for all ships, all the time. They need to bring back all of the basic colours for all ships too. There's far too many ships that can no longer be painted in the full gamut of tactical, vibrant or military colours. My fleet defaults to Tactical Olive, well, it used to when it was available for everything. There's some smatterings of olive based designs like Apollo Green. I'd make an exception for a Chrome Mandalay though.

 

[Rat Catcher]

Although I could like having Chrome on a few of my ships, it just isn't going to happen, perhaps when the Arx store prices drop to something reasonable, then get discounted, but not now.
