Yes, that's the difference with the mirror, if you get between the target and a (close) star you don't become a black spot...

Anaconda paint jobs any time soon?
External camera is coming in the next patch.
Have my +1 as well.
I like the idea of scratched paintjobs, but right now it is simply waaay too aggravating to repair all systems individually (especially as you need to confirm every single time) instead of just pressing the Repair All button. I'd welcome moving the paintwork option to the top, right next to the wear & tear button.

Good one
I'll keep my eyes open.
I certianly don't want to deny you the privilage and experience of a glorious death in the cold vacuum of space.
Then I will salvage those pretty painted parts for scrap. (We should get more credits for pretty painted scrap recovered)
All in jest sir.
But of course, good Sir!

I finally got my Asp, which means I finally bought a paintjob. Apollo White is SEXY and I'm disappointed that it isn't available for every other ship or I'd buy it for those too and make my very own NASA/Starfleet collection.
Ship Customization/Paint Job purchase methods
The current ship customization is limited to paint jobs which can be bought with real money and several spots for rank decals. I would like to see decals and paint jobs enter the game that can be earned by completing special challenges or achievements. Or even special aesthetic components that can be added to your ship if you want to give it a more personal touch! The current paid paint jobs are ok, but I think the game as a whole would be more immersive if these were available for purchase using in-game currency.

I'd like to see something along the line of campaign ribbons for taking part in certain conflicts or community goals. Perhaps not something visible on your ship, but something that could be seen by you on the starboard virtual screen, or by another player who scans you.

I would prefer they were not available for in game currency and continue to be bought through the store. Because FD are not charging a subscription they must be able to monetise the game, without sufficient funds development would cease and I'm sure you wouldn't like to see that happen.
I agree, I think there should be a few basic block color jobs available for free, if only to add a little more colour to the universe. Seeing the same dark grey/steel ship texture everywhere gets a little old
Well, you do already get all the tiers of the three ranks as ship decals for free as soon as you reach them. If I understand the OP right, part of what he's asking for is more of that stuff. And I'd agree. Not so much about skins, perhaps - because it is true that the Guild Wars 2 type of business model, which Frontier adopted for ED, depends on the commercial cosmetic offers actually working. However, so far Frontier haven't made use of ship decals for purposes of monetisation beyond, technically, the Founder's decal.
More of the kind of decals that the rank decals constitute would be quite fine. An example could be decals of the logo of the respective intelligence services of the big three factions for completing a set amount of clandestine missions for them (blackboxes, military plans etc.). I'd wear that on my Cobra's Chrome skin.
As to real-money buyable decals... I'd be ready to drop a buck for a rainbow-coloured flower decal to wear on my hippie Adder bus.

Let us paint our ships our selves!
I know it's a big source of income buying paint jobs so maybe let us pay a fee big or small w/e and allow us to get creative and create our own custom paintjobs! Kinda like some of the Need for Speeds and ABP (original or reloaded) in how you can custom paint the cars or in APB pretty much anything..

Considering the prices on ship liveries now, I wouldn't mind having this implemented if we were to pay for it, like say, 7.50 or 10 USD for the ability to paint /a/ ship, not for all but for one ship. Paint liveries now are just fine as long as there is one for each ship that matches the other in some way. What I would like to see are faction specific liveries.
