Rearrange how paint jobs are sold.

[Nero Tacitus]

It's likely been mentioned before, but I'm really not a fan of how paint jobs are currently sold.

I personally enjoy about one, maybe 2, of each of paint jobs found in the paint packs, but I find it difficult to purchase a combo of something simply to use a small part (just annoys the hell out of me).
I understand they're probably in packs to justify the background costs that go into processing the payment, but there's other methods for deilvering content rather than arbitrary grouping.

A) Pick a ship, buy a minimum of 6 paint jobs of any category (tactical, military etc)
B) Pick a paint job, buy it for a minimum of 6 ships.
C) Buy a minimum number of cosmetic items per transaction.
D) Purchase Frontier Store credits ($5-$10 transactions) that can then be used as desired.

Then again, I purchased engine and weapon colours individually for a few dollars each, so maybe that theory is off. Either way, I can say I won't be purchasing paint packs in their current incarnation, it's just obnoxious to purchase 6 of something to use 1. Alternatives would be nice. Occasional sales on ship kits wouldn't go astray either, $15 AUD for a cosmetic? Pass.

Agreed. It is annoying. That's why I (mostly) wait until a sale, before I buy any cosmetics.

Agreed. aswell as add more paintjobs. daddy needs his racing stripes

+1 for option A, B and D.

Unless the minimum is like £2, then +1 for C as well.

I'm particularly fond of option D.

Buy allowing us to "preload" our accounts with credits, we can then use Fredits(? -Frontier Credits? Lol) to buy individual items directly from the store, in game, for all frontier games.
Thus actually increasing impulse buying, by removing the steps between seeing a paintjob/cosmetic in game, and purchasing it. And also allowing the packs to be split down in to individual items.

So +2 for option D.

But only if they're called Fredits.
