Was there ever a chrome(d) paint job for the chieftain?

[VR Jay Le Chardon]

If there was could somebody post a couple of screenshots of it? I do wonder am I getting confused with the type ten?

 

[Conch]

What's the difference between chrome and chromed anyways?

 

[Pyrotiger]

One is made of chrome, the other is chrome of made.

just a trick to let you pay 1/4th the price of the base game..

The Chieftain is already ugly enough without a gaudy chrome skin.

Chrome is smooth and shiney.
ChromeD is more like brushed metal.

Neither are available for the Orca yet, so my money is staying with me.

As a comparison - I'd agree. But "Chrome" is far, far from the reflective chroming effect it could be. No doubt that is FDev milking us slowly until they sell the "Mirrored Chrome" finish in 2019... [followed by Mirrored Gold, Glossy Black etc]

I suppose, to be fair, the mirrored effect might actually look very poor in space, with mainly direct light, it will appear very black with occasional really bright spots. You need the diffuse lighting effect an atomospheric planet produces to get the best out of a truly mirrored effect...

I've got chrome for my Cutter, and it really is that reflective. When flying over a planet and looking at the ship in external camera, it looks black from above because it's reflecting space above it, and brown from below because of the planet surface.

chrome is chrome.

Chromed is Chromed.

Got it? [yesnod]

Didn't Amadala get around in what was basically a mirrored chrome Cutter?

Yep. And in deep space, it didn't really look like much.
