Painted or unpainted?

[GillyMonster]

PLEASE READ!  Do people prefer their ships painted (like Da Vinci's Combat Kit) or stock parts and colors?  This is for reference when sharing craft links in this Forum.

Its very opinionated, I don't know the percentage of people doing it, perhaps a large poll would work. I think that its close to 50/50 for people who like the game stock and people who enjoy using mods, so this might tie in with that.
It will pull from the stock purist people like me who know that the paint isn't necessary for the craft to work, but it will also pertain to the people who heavily rely on mods, because it changes up the game in a way that they enjoy.

There are my two long run-on sentences for the day.

I like to make it look good stock first, then if I use it in a video I might paint it for more impact. A spot of yellow on the back of an F4 II can make a huge difference in a video to it's perception.

I'm bored to tears with the stock - lack of colours.

When I'm in the mood, I like to paint em...  I have a couple livery Variants now and might add a few more.  I don't typically build suff with mod parts though.  So for me, it's just a way to liven-up my stock designs.

 

The da vinci painting stuff looked a bit crude though (no offense).  I like to paint over the stock parts with filtering in such a way that I can also maintain the original details of the stock parts.
