current paint job "IRIDESCENT SCORCH"

major7079 · Dec 17, 2019

Hello CMDRs,

I find the search possibility of the new shop rather a step backwards or I do something wrong. Some filters seems to be not available any longer.
I waited already a long time for the paint job "IRIDESCENT SCORCH" as unfortunately I missed it in Sept. to purchase because I was on a trip.

Now I see that the store has IRIDESCENT SCORCH again. Unfortunately I can't find them for all my ships and single search / filtern directly for this color is not possible.
It is possible that you filter for the ship's type and then search through all paintwork, because there is no filter for this colour and a free text search for IRIDESCENT SCORCH is not possible.
I just found out that they have added now the filter "Festive Countdown" which was not yet availble when the special paint job offer was announced via email.
So I can reduced the hits but still have to search trough all planes now.

Did I miss some colors again or are they not available for all ships like the classical Anaconda, Federal Corvette, Krait, Vulture, ...?
Maybe someone here can answer my questions.

Is it possioble to return a pant jop which I bought by accident for the wrong ship which I do not own and which I have never used?
If yes how can I return the paint job and get the ARX refunded?

Thank you very much.

It's a mess trying to find your way around the paint jobs. Not as simple as it used to be. But as far as I can tell, the Irridescent Scorch is only available for a few ships that they chose to apply it to

Contact support, and tell them you have some unused paint, unintended purchase, or unwanted gift from an aunt in Sirius. They will likely help you.

Also, the irridecent and metallic paint jobs are part of the current 'advent calendar' sale - another set become available each day. Keep checking

How about a set of "Lave Radio" paint jobs as a bonus for anyone that's spent a couple of hundred in the store (or bought a LEP) already?

Cobra IV has that as its default paint

I just have to name it RESCUE in white letters.

Whats the stores url anyway? Havent been there in so long i dont remember.
I would like to see the iridescent scorch paint job but dont want to start the game to do so.

NVM i found it. What a mess, even if i did want to mess with the arx crap, which i dont, how do you even find anything on the store page.

Buying a paintjob used to be so simple.

Yep, prices were clear and clean.
This will cost you x dollars or pounds.

Now it's just an obfuscated mess, and I don't even feel the need or urge to buy anything.

Previous years they had a seperate page with all festive additions in one place.
This new store is lackluster, you can't even sort all items on newest or last added, only the frontpage shows some new additions.

Use vibrant red for 620 ARX and use the ID "RESCUE" on both name and ID fields...

I'm sure station control would be laughing their a**es off if you showed up in one.

Well I did
