Type 7 Paint Pack

Dear FDev,

Thanks again for a wonderful Festive Countdown of Paint Packs. I did, however, notice there were no paint packs released for the Type 7. This is confusing and disappointing to me. The Type-7 already has the least amount of paint packs available to purchase out of all ships in the game [three], and yet no love. This is also confusing to me as the Type-7 received a major buff during the Beyond Season, increasing its maneuverability and FSD Jump Range - making it an extremely competent exploration and mining vessel, and yet no love. My confusion is further compounded because the 3.3 release was focused on exploration and mining. Again, still no love for the Type 7.

With Distant Worlds 2 fast approaching, and the opportunity to fit-out my Type-7 for the last time in 8 months, I implore - rather I beg of you - please release a cool paint pack for the Type 7! My suggestion, the amazing Turbulence Pack just like the Type-6

Thanks for listening.

Confused and disappointed,

Cmdr Parabolus

Fewer paint packs than the Type-10? Damn, Here I thought us Type-10 pilots were the red-headed step-children of the game when it came to paint jobs.

Actually, that title goes to the Cobra Mk IV boys. They don't even get vibrant/tactical/military packs.

Yep'. After all this time.
 
Yep, the T7 still doesn't have a ship kit, or anything beyond the "standard three" paint packs. I posted a thread about this probably 6+ months ago too. Same deal with the T9. I'd love to see both of those get some much needed attention.

Type-9 does have Squadron TBF, and it also got a Golden skin in this year's Christmas event.
 
One of the most underestimated ships in Elite.

Hi Frontier! You nailed it again! I love the 3 new Viper MIII paint packs - and the new ship kit for the Viper. That brings the MIII up to 37 paint packs and ship kits! Meanwhile the Type 7, lonely as always with 3.
 
I truly believe that more cmdrs would fly the Type-7 if they had better paints available... It's one of the reasons I don't fly my Type 9 often, even though I love that vessel.

So, nice job again with the exploration discount! If only I had a paint pack to buy for my type-7. Why is the Turbelance Pack only available for T6? Well, there is still time as I can outfit during WP2!

C'mon guys this is free money!
