Because the artists/graphics designers involved with creating paint jobs generally have nothing to do with programming the core game? Not everybody who works on the Elite team are coders.

What would be good is like a designer or slider options for colours (like a character creator for most MMO's)
Also something that would be amazing is a Graphics creator like they had for Skate 2 where you could create your only Logo's and then size them and apply to your decks
in this case ships.
I don't like these ready made skins, would much prefer a ship design creator + logos.
Would be really really good to personalise the ship.

I support anything that lets us make our ships our own. The paint jobs them selves I am happy to see stay the way they are, as store purchases. But I would very much like to see decals used to allow us to really personalize our craft over the paint jobs. Everything from complete decals earned from faction rep to decals unique to a particular sation's outfitting service to ship name/pilot name decals.
Just give us an awesome decal system please

Paint jobs (and other customization options) create revenue for FD. The revenue/annuity stream creates an incentive to keep evolving the game. In many ways, its probably the most important thing FD needs to work on (in addition to paid expansions) on a long term basis given the lack of subscription fee.
That being said, you're unwilling to pay for the paint and that's fine. There are many who will gladly pay, and have paid, for paint jobs both to support FD and because we like knowing that our ships look "different". Imagine current MMOs with no visual customization options - I suspect many would be dead in the water. It's just expected these days - and actively sought by gaming communities.

I cant agree with this statement any harder, there's tons of stuff to be fixed or added before we should get more microtransaction content.
I'm sure they are working on that , as it is an great money maker.
You must be aurally and visually challenged.
Thats stone deaf and blind as a bat in old money in case you are stupid as well.
Well, planetary landings are coming... some planets have atmospheres.
Gold skins and union jack skins for Asp, Python and Anaconda please! I'll buy them all.
I would buy a python skin / paint job, that's for sure. A nice one though.
Because the artists involved in the paint jobs / skins are also the coders and database administrators etc..
Sure!

I want a black paint job for this. Designed for cunning plans.
Paint jobs, Decals, Custom Cockpit Huds, Bobble-heads, anything non pay to win really
It's the way I like to further support Elites development, get that store filled FD!

The Repton bobblehead is the only bobblehead one ever needs. Just saying.
I would like a Paintjob for ASP with the German Flag or a real total RED Paintjob ala Red Baron
Yes, they need to fill that store good, and add a "new" section as new stuff isn't easy to find.
If they released a skin tool you could submit them and pay for the privilege for use in game, possibly with the option of allowing others to use it too and you get it for free... that way they can be moderated and potentially pay for that moderation service plus an earner for the future with 0 development cost.
Could EVEN expand on this and allow one guild/group paint job for a flat fee that everyone in the group can apply... fleet colours!!
Would be a very nice addition to the game!
