Besides the paint jobs weren't the only reason for my initial reply to Kubicide about the game becoming an arcade like shooter. The game is always so combat focused, everything's pew pew pew. And don't get me started on the bloody engineers. There's so much more that could be done with a game like this. But instead frontier try to make the game look as appealing as possible for use in trailers and to the console gamer. It makes me sad.
I'd love for them to finally release this community made paintjob for all of us to purchase:

or at least a similiar design to that if "exclusivity" gets someone's panties in a twist.
Furthermore I would like to see a more realistic and grounded interpretation of paints like for example this:

We're not playing in an 80's cartoon coloured world like No Man's Sky so I see no reason why the devs are in love with those gaudy skins. 1 or 2 for fun sure, but creating a whole series of them and just dumping them on the most ignored ships in terms of skins is taking the pee in my opinion. There are ways to accentuate the Federal ships' unique look much better than slap dashing a copy/paste job of the predator pack that was first released for the Cobra III. I mean the fed ships are clearly based on the marine gunship from Aliens so why not give them some shark teeth or Xeno hunter camo pattern. Heck the rusted looks that comes with a Raider ship kit would look nice on these ships but alas the Federal triplets get no love in terms of ship kits - arguably the 3 ships that actually warrant the need for a ship kit unlike say the FDL which already looks fine.
Bit of a rant from me but I'm fed up of the way FD treats the Federal ships when it comes to cosmetic customisation. It's like they don't really give a hoot about them and would much rather make the 50th unique skin for the Cobra or something.

Am I the only one who wants to punch an elephant after looking at these... sugar coatings?
I'm seeing some complaints here, and I partially agree with them.
Yet there was no Gutamaya ship paint released during the festive countdown.
^^^ So much TRUTH! I mean, look at those paintjobs. LOOK AT THEM. THAT's how it's done! If amateur enthusiasts can knock these up, why can't the professionals working at Fdev?
It's more than just embarrassing; it's deeply shameful. Their designers should feel ashamed.

Fuschia with green exhaust or lime green with hot pink exhaust.... Decisions....
