Do we really need more cobra skins?? Seriously?

Ok, I have a bee in my bonnet.. ok, more of a hornet.. a Japanese hornet.. a Japanese hornet on crack..

I mean, I am happy we have been getting some more paint skins lately, I have a nice new purple pirate skin on my FDL, but then I just noticed 2 new skin packs for the cobra..

Look, I know, this is a petty complaint, but seriously, we now have 39 skins for the cobra.. yes.. 39!!!

Ok, I get it, maybe there are more players who own cobras and vipers in Elite, but when are ships such as the Corvette, Cutter all the federal ships and all the other ships with only 3-4 paint skins going to get some love??

Cmon Frontier, I know DB loves his cobra, but what about the rest of us that love the other ships too.... I know its frivolous, and that paint skins are not THAT important to the game, but I think if you can put the effort in to make 39 for the cobra, you can make at least 10 for everything else.

FD just have to adapt them to the entire fleet.

I would really like to see squadron and the new predator pack available to the entire fleet : including corvette and imperial ships that have no skin at all (except the rare black paint preorder bonus).

I wanna buy skins for every kind of ship. I sincerely hope FD will consider your call.

I have a hunch that they make these for the Cobra, then only extend those to other ships based on how many are sold, and again make the mostly for ships which themselves sell a lot of paintjobs...

I was just thinking the same thing.

There are ships that have nearly no paintjobs at all, or just those generic "packs".

The Cobra has a bazillion paint jobs. Vast majority of ships have less than half a dozen, usually 3-5.

New paint jobs come out... and they're for the Cobra. Really?

I love my Cobra, but come on...

yes this, [up]
that is why if your very tall, with very wide feet you have less choices across the board than the "average" build.

The "average" build in ED must be the smaller ships, the Cobra III being #1.

I also think it would be nice if we could preview all the skins and bobbleheads in game, but only apply if we actually buy them. I bought some skins for my python a while back and ending up hating them all, I went back to the Black Friday freebie.

Chances are its the most used ship so it do makes sense to always give the cobra some more love from time to time. So nothing wrong with more Cobra skin, that other ships don't get more is the problem :D

Ian, less forum posting, more flying. Even i have an Anaconda by now. With something like 3 hours a week on average. But then i do care about credits when i fly.

Don't you guys have a special status with ED, like "hey, place a fully modded Cutter for me at Gende, I need to see why are the natives restless..."?

No perks like that?
