Adjudicator dude, you HAVE to find and use this:



There are more, but I didn't want to keep looking at them, I just googled your ship to find its correct name, and the image came up and I couldn't look away.

It looks like an entire new ship with this paint scheme.


P.S. I am joking when I say you HAVE to use this paint. Use whatever you want. I am just sayin' this looks gorgeous.

I just bought some pirate paints and I strongly recommend a few more of you buy some of them too so we can use them when we go out pirating. Note that this is an extremely limited offer which was running all of last week and I think will be over any hour now. If you want to buy, don't wait for tomorrow, don't even wait an hour since the sale ENDS TODAY (September 20): buy right now and then post in this thread to let me know how many piratical-looking pirates we'll have. Let me walk you through the process.

Go here:

Pirate Week 2022

And scroll to the bottom.

There are pirate paints for 4 ships. I bought all of them. But all you need to do is buy one for the Gladius which we will use for pirating: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... inds-Paint



The paint is about 7-8 dollars depending on your region. The ship we'll of course purchase in the game.

And that's all you need to do. 7-8 dollars so we can have a fleet of cool pirates. I don't expect everyone to buy in, but if I get even a couple of people I'll be happy. Note that the card option on their site only accepts credit cards. If you want to use a debit card, choose PayPal, and enter it there.

What about the other paints I bought? I got the Cutlass Black skull & bones one: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... ones-Paint





This will be our mothership for pirating. We only need one, but if someone wanted to buy a second or even a third one, and then we got 5-10 pirate Gladiuses... that would be a serious pirating fleet. I know it won't happen today, but some day for sure. Let's just get whatever we can now and launch CULT's piracy operations.

The Cutlass paint is a bit more expensive at $10.

And finally there are paints for the Avenger and the Vanguard (I think they work on ALL their variants): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... Paint-Pack



The 3-pack with all three ships is about $18, and that's what I got, plus the Cutlass above. So about $25-30 in case anyone wants everything like me. Everything can also be purchased separately. The Vanguard one especially would be cool to have to add interdiction capabilities to our pirate fleet. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I can gift it to Adjudicator, but I can buy the ship in game and then we'll have it.

Once this sale ends, it will probably still be possible to buy some or all of these paints, but through third-party less-trustworthy sites, and probably at a markup. I had to pay $30 for a $12 paint for my Scorpius, for example. So there should still be time in the future for more people to join Cult Piracy.

I can't wait to use this stuff. Of course first we'll need to earn a fortune for the Gladiuses. They are 1.17M a pop. Then 1.38M for the Cutlass Black. I think this is meant for ground piracy operations.

Reporting for booty, I bought all 4 pirate paints.

[ChevRage]

Bought a skin for the Gladius.

[Some guy]

I bought the Gladius skin too.

[icycalm]

Someone took awesome pics of two of the skins: https://twitter.com/Phil_Zorg/status/15 ... 2390356993

[ExiledOne]

I also have the Gladius skin now.

[Adjudicator]

First time I spent the cash on the paints, but it is really worth it, as your recommendations are impeccable.

I have obtained the Solar Winds 3-pack paint (Avenger series, Vanguard series and Gladius series), and the Frostbite paint you mentioned earlier.

Vanguard Frostbite Paint: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... bite-Paint

The game also offered me a bulk discount for another skin and I decided on the Vanguard Timberline paint as well.

[icycalm]

So you have all the Vanguard paints now!

Here's how to use them:

Default paint scheme: space operations
Solar Winds: piracy
Frostbite: icy planets and moons
Timberline: all other types of planets and moons

Here's something really exclusive: https://theimpound.com/products/eclipse ... 4898418941

Eclipse Best In Show 2950 - Standalone Ship
Regular price $1,199.99 1 available



It's not even LTI lol. Though 10-year insurance is almost as good I suppose.

This isn't technically a paint, but it essentially is, so I'll be dealing with these "variants" in this thread. It was brought to my attention by this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/co ... clipse_bis

Is the eclipse BIS really 1,100? It’s never going to be available again right?

It's whatever someone is willing to sell it for, but this is the wrong sub to ask.

No, that version will never be available again. It may win another year, but it will have a different BIS skin.

i also want to point out that subscribers can buy previous subscriber flares, but cig puts them in the loot pool after 3 months despite it reducing their income. so i would not put it past them for those 15$ skins to be early access to a skin before the in game skin shop is implemented. then sell early access ot skins a few months before they are put in the in game shop.

cig are very clear that a lot of the stuff is not worth the money. only get it if you want to help fund the development.

There is little chance that they want the BIS paint for the Eclipse because of the BIS bit, but rather because it looks great in white. I'm not throwing any shade on CIG for selling ship paints. Indeed I have bought some myself. I could not care less if you could later on buy them in game.

All I mean to say is that buying a ship that is overpriced in the pledge store already for over 3x the price simply because it has a pretty paint job does not seem like a great idea to me. I'd rather support the project than someone who resells ships at such a markup.

But even the obscene markups help the game, because they increase FOMO for the NEXT time unique items go on sale.

Bottom line: This Eclipse looks kickass and the exclusivity merely heightens the desirability. It would look terrific with my character's white/red armor, and if I could afford it I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

Just putting it here in case anyone of us might be interested in snapping it up (remember there's just ONE unit left), and also because I will be cataloguing cool exclusive paints and pseudo-variants in this thread.
