What's the difference between Void Black and Midnight Black?
A german saying related to such things is: Ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denkt... ( Evil to him who evil thinks... )
When you stare into the void, the void stares back at you.
Nice but again can't appreciate the sales tactics with time window.
Admittedly, there's always been the odd, time-limited paint jobs since the store became a thing; Midnight Black, Stygian, etc. What I don't understand is that the refresh was meant to, and I'm paraphrasing, "bring previously limited paint jobs to CMDRs more reliably". A lot of us read that as "yay, no more time limited sales, everything will always be available", which is nowhere near what we got. Time-limited discounts, yeah sure, that's fairly normal, but time-limited availability for digital products is just manufactured scarcity, which is transparent as a marketing tactic, and a pretty terrible way to go about it if you want to garner customer loyalty.
I still disagree with the scale of the price hike, but I’d rather limited time price reductions than limited time paint sales.
And I’d rather have the all vibrant & tactical paints back…
This point cannot be overstated enough! Seriously Fdev, just put them back for crying out loud. Enough of the clown show already.
Hi All 
I like the Idea of the banners but as I'm not going to be affiliated with any of the major factions (at the moment)...I'm a free trader and miner, I'll trade wiv anyone who gives me the best prices!
..so there!...
I would like to be able to word the banner for my own imaginary corporation / faction etc. much in the same way as we can name our ships. So at this moment in time no sale.
I'm tempted
Yes, I've got to agree, this design is pretty attractive. I'm going to have a look in the Frontier Store!

I have to say, Thank you to Frontier for all the new paintjobs. They look amazing.
This is the best paintjob I have ever seen for the Python ...

Sad there is no Void Black for the Mandalay. It would be the only thing I buy ARX again for.
Void Black on T8-Heavy. Personally I like it, it have very nice metal look/feeling. Some may not like purple tone under some light, though. However it "in real" look MUCH better as is image in Frontier store (someone should give it a thought or two). Because I was on edge deciding if buy/not exactly bcs image which was used in store,where ship lines/details are practically invisible due black colour without surrounding light.

Who decided on these angles and lighting? With the Dolphin, it looks like half the ship isn't rendered because it matches the background. Thankfully these terrible screenshots/renders are few and they have alternate screenshots to show off the paintjob.

I was happy with the default yellow, and now you do this to me!?!
Not exactly a "paintjob" but as 4 paintjobs are included... 
That used up my ARX reserves. Not as good as the Survey Kits, but still a bit explorey.
Yellow barrels? Anyone else getting Jaws vibes?
