That is a very cool paintjob and I didn't know it existed. If I didn't have the Frontier 25, I would use that (if I had it, but I don't)
OK, let's settle this. What is THE best paintjob?
- Thread starter Alien
- Start date
I'd like them to do a paintjob competition again, I know I could certainly do better than last time.
When they beehive themselves...
Yeah, the Medusa paint job is really creative. Makes you wonder what other cool stuff the community would come up with if given the chance. For example, think of the cool missions that people would script out.
Anyway, I have an old screenshot of this Cobra MkIII paint job, but I can't remember what it's called. I wouldn't say it's "the best" but thought some people might like to see it.
According to this page on the Elite Dangerous Star Map website, it's a PC Gamer paintjob (scroll down, you'll see it)

Also, I just learned the EDSM site keeps screenshots of a lot of the paintjobs

Best paintjob depends on the ship, but if I had to pick one and only one, it's Precision Yellow. Especially on Phantom--it accentuates the angular, almost Guardian-like, features very nicely and makes the ship look very fast, dynamic. Not the best screenshot, but good enough:
Other options in the Precision family look good, too.

This is the one.
Eagle Jungle Camo was a rare paint that actually made a ship look less like a bar of soap and actually militaristic. With drop tanks from a ship kit and Enforcers it was essentially a Hawker Typhoon in space.
And I'm keeping a close eye on those who say 'racing' too squints eyes.
And oh yes FAS Crossfire. Because.

I think one of the best paintjobs was a member of canon (Xbox I believe ) who had a dragon either on cutter on clipper . I think it was won in a raffle where they could design a paintjob . I would have paid a lot of money to get that .
Nice, never seen that one before (the camo eagle).
A Commander of taste.
I normally prefer the plainer colours like Midnight Black, but also like the overlay colours (sometimes known in the paint trade as 'flip'flop') like Azure and this one, but I can't recall the name:
And the other retro style on this Cobra:
I've never understood FD's predilection for limiting the availability of some PJs - why have I got to wait until the end of the year to spend my Arx on Sygian Brass and other exotics? Do they think I'm going to keep playing for a whole year just to add to my paint collection?

It was one of the very earliest and I just can't think why its not on other ships.
That looks like a Stygian one.I normally prefer the plainer colours like Midnight Black, but also like the overlay colours (sometimes known in the paint trade as 'flip'flop') like Azure and this one, but I can't recall the name:
