Could you put the original flavor DBX skin up on the Frontier store?

[SafteyBot]

I can't be the only one that preferred the old look...

 

[Codger]

I had one like that, once upon a time. I did like it. Is it gone now?

 

[SafteyBot]

Yeah, it looks more like the DBS now, the black and yellow got flipped.

 

[Fendalton]

If only it was a free option to change the skins.

Oh that's right, this game isn't subscription based so every visual addition needs to be charged so Frontier have a slight hope in hell they can keep this game running for 10 years.

…

Vibrant Color pack should do the trick. (And that's the reason why they changed the color of the DBX)

Yup. Vibrant Yellow is very similar.

 

[Bomba Luigi]

I was hoping it was bug, but considering its still like that it seems intentional. I liked the older look more too.

Oooh, nice! Not as iconic, but looks cool and seems more... sane in a combat role.

You sound like you have a problem with a cheap to play game.

Nah, he just likes cheap shots, even if they make no sense.

Actually I just bought a DBX and was hoping for that skin though the new default ain't that bad either.

Chose the "Black Friday" skin for my first exploring mission and now regret it. The all black skin makes for horrible screen shots! Think I'll find a nearby port and go back to default.

Been awhile since I BH'ed but doesn't the AI still use that skin?

AI can use pretty much all skins.

Looks much better now imo, but more options are always better!

sane in a combat role

Sane is not the word I would use for any combination of DBX and combat role.

 

[MadDogMurdock]

Yup, I was a bit disconcerted when I went back to get the 'Yellow Submarine' out of storage only to find that it wasn't yellow anymore.

Ssst, Goemon can hear you!

i beg to differ. my DBE with L5 dirty drive tuning is a bit faster and a bit more nimble than a vanilla a-grade DBS - and it has a LARGE MC <3

hihi. yes!

 

[Ian Skippy]

hihi. yes!

Ha, this is... uncanny.

My Sidewinder, Eagle, Viper Mk III, DBS, DBX and Vulture are yellow. It's a completely sane color for a combat ship.

That's because you didn't use it with a yellow point job. Yellow makes combat ships better at combat

Main problem for me isn't that much the turn rate but the acceleration and deceleration. L5 DDT helps a lot wit the DBX, but the biggest difference, in my opinion, made the rank 5 charging enhanced distributor. More power to engines while still getting the weapons capacitor filled up. Doesn't turn the DBX into a ship I want to be in if a Elite NPC Vulture, FAS or Anaconda attacks, but for lower ranked NPCs is a fun combat ship. Certainly better than a Keelback
