@FDEV - New Community Paintjobs contest? Please!

Ever time I see that I get a nostalgic yearning for Pacers for some reason.

Hmm Wonder if that one was in the Black Friday pack?
Alas not. I guess they could retro-fit a Dolphin skin into the Black Friday set, but then no doubt some people who aren't already BF Skinners (hah, I just thought of that) would complain that development time was being wasted on something they could no longer purchase.

An actual dophin Dolphin skin would be neat; a sort of two-tone blue grey, lighter on the ventral and darker on the dorsal.
 
I hate to be so cynical, but community paint jobs would probably be attractive enough to negatively impact the eventual sales of other as-yet unreleased paint jobs...

Considering the vagaries of quality in FD's skinwork I don't mind. As long as the community-created skins outstrip the in-house in volume (duh) and quality (unfortunately again duh) then FD is literally turning away free monies and low-impact positive community interaction for no good reason. The limited releases of other community creations have been of far better quality than much of the existing paint.
 
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.

That was made in collaboration with FD artists. The winner had input and ideas but it was made by FD as a one off so they're never going to release it to everyone.
 
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]

I think this is a very good suggestion. [yesnod]

And I hope more than just the winners make it to the shop.
 
I'd be happy with some sort of event where we can buy awesome unique paint jobs for a limited time for like charity or something. Similar to the limited time chrome cutter or wire frame paint jobs.
 
If there was another competition, I would probably enter these designs, and others like them, minus the SMAC decals of course. Whist they are designed using SMAC graphic elements, some other people might like them.
