Hello Frontier :)

How about a new community paintjobs contest? We have lots of new ships and the community came up with some great paintjobs last time!

We want moar! [yesnod]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

And maybe (in the future :p) decals editor for players. Something like in Forza Motorsport series, where players can make their own decals and put them on official in-game exchange :) It works for Forza and it does not affect sale of official decals ;)
 
How did the contest work last time? Do FD provide ship templates/blue prints for contestants to colour in or do you have to have knowledge of 3D modelling to enter?
 
But before the competition starts, some clear guidelines as to what happens to the entries would be appreciated .... I think last time a lot of brilliant ones never saw the light of day again. At least tell us the three top entries will be available in store ... or available for CG participation, or something on those lines :)
 
If they do decide to do it again I hope they include a template for the FAS and FDL - both ships are in dire need of some creative designs. The FAS actually already has an awesome community made skin but it's not available for sale :(

To add to this: it would be cool if they could credit the people who made the winning community skins via their CMDR names on the store page (with the consent/permission of the skin's creator of course).

Puts away crayons.

***Humph***
^ What he said!

*Eats crayons.... with rage! ..... followed by regret*

That's not a community skin. That was a prize for special effects, a one of created by Frontier for the winning bid.
Unless I'm mistaken I recall the person who first posted those images (the guy who won the skin) mentioned they were made by a member of the community.
 
Give em time, they are still sorting through the video competition from last week!

I'm hopeful that Brett, Ed and the folks over there can look maybe at the end of they year when the conventions are largely out the way and people have mostly stopped going outside. :)

But yes, I love seeing what the community comes up with, some of them are stunningly professional. Also I still want the T9 Friesian skin (http://www.fenris.co.uk/elite/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/LakonSpaceCow.png) <- Why is this not a thing yet :)
