Ships Does the type 10 look any better with the tactical paint jobs?

CMDR Karrde Sun · Jan 10, 2018

Hey,

Just wanted to ask if in anyones opinion the looks of the type 10 improve at all with any of the paint jobs applied, in particular tactical graphite/grey and ice/white.

This is the first time i've so absolutely come to the conclusion not to support frontier based on something they've released.. its a little shameful.

In my opinion:

- The tail spoiler is so out of place its a bad joke.
- When you use head look out of the cabin, the grills you immediately see are so cheap and low poly.. unspeakably bad.

Its pretty obvious the type 10 was originally a ship kit for the type 9 because that matches the quality of those very closely.

If anyone is feeling indulgent would be great to see any screenshots of the type 10 with a good tactical paint on. One can go for straws i guess

Thanks!

She looks perfect even with the stock paint and the wing looks good.

Bombing run in Tactical White

Nice, thanks.

Yeah i know i should just put it aside if i don't like it, but im finally about to head to colonia, probably for a good while, so just wanted to make sure all checks are done before.

I don't know if you are still looking at Tactical White, but here's another couple of shots. Note same ship, same paint, just a slightly different angle to the sun makes a huge difference with this ship:

I also like tactical set on the T10. The tactical white looks best imo although during US College Football season, it's tactical red for that crimson and gray look. ;-) The 'Mission' paint set looks great on the T9 so I hope that FDev will add that one for the T10.

Thanks again for more pics.

After taking it for another spin (i think im up to about 40 mil in demo model refund costs) the main problem i have is the really cheap grills when you turn your head far left and right from the seat.

I don't get how people are so forgiving to frontier from this. Even look around the canopy, in their proper ships the edges are always worked somehow. All the new extensions are literally 2 triangles.. they are flat, polygon edges. Well below anything really, looks more like quake 2 geometry.

Anyway, i suspect tactical graphite/grey will get rid of it

That's another thing, the bug raised about store names being different to ingame names of the paint. That's simply a rushjob.. lack of care.

There may be a bug ... file a report? You won't be the first to report problems of finish with ships. But you will have to back it up with photos or video.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i think my bug report would also be just that, a suggestion to do better.

To the type-10 itself, sadly the modifications over the type 9 seem consistent with the quality and finish used in the cosmetic ship kits.. the easy giveaway is if you look at the spoiler, the paint is flawed and blotchy in the exact same way it is on other ship kits.

So i don't think 'shame on you for using a ship kit to make a new ship' is going to achieve much. Especially with many people not having a problem with it. Next time Sandro pleads with the community to be civil and respectful though i think we have a rebuttal he wont be able to answer.. you want us to be civil, yet you released the type10, and he simply wont be allowed double standards.

I'd have to 2nd the vote for tactical white... using the same on my T-10

CMDR Karrde Sun · Jan 13, 2018

Thanks again for all the screenshots.

First, don't do what i did, i just paid frontier rewarding their poor workmanship. They have a lot of goodwill to spend though.. just why?

Black makes better the main problem:

The whole thing looks better in black

I tried while also, but the two flaws on the front....

The only real question is whether the ship kit will add a spoiler to the spoiler ...

With the amount they drink, I refuse to believe in the existence of a vertical Finn.

I think it looks best with the tactical colors, particularly the white or graphite options. I don't like the vivid paintjobs on it because they make the thing look like a plastic Transformers toy.

I hope we get more paint to choose from in the future. I wish FD would make more paintjobs with designs on them (i.e. Icarus pack for Corvette, Medusa for Cobra 3, Synth pack for Vulture) instead of just shoveling out boring, solid, single-color paints.

Unfortunately I think FDev turned the up to 11 for the Type 10 when they should have stopped at 10, maybe reserve some of the extras for a shipkit. Funnily enough it's actually helped me appreciate the looks of the Type 9 a lot more. I always though the Type 9 would look better with 4 big thruster exhaust nozzles (rather than 2), and maybe the front-facing reverse-thrusters a little bigger (not just adding more of them a-la Type 10). Needless to say, the spoiler is an affront.

How can it be an affront when it's at the back ? :x

Ok, so I see I'm by far not the only one who likes Tactical white on their T10.

C4R1TON · Mar 30, 2018

If anything give me a ship kit that makes it look like a manta ray. (Without the tail and no spoiler) we already can't see past the port and starboard thrusters. Lol.

Captain Jack Sparrow · Mar 30, 2018

The only paint job I like on the T10 is the gold. I was skeptical but I think the gold looks sharp on it.
