StarCitizen:Ship paint
More actions
Ship paints, or ship skins, are cosmetic skins for Star Citizen ships, changing the livery and/or the color of the ship. You can see the ship paints directly on the relevant ship pages on the wiki.
Ship paints currently fall under four categories:<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
- Ships that come with a unique look from their basic counterpart, such as the StarCitizen:Gladius vs StarCitizen:Pirate Gladius.
- Ships that can be customized to apply a unique look, such as the [[StarCitizen::Category:300 series|Origin 300 series]].
- Upgrades like paints to apply to a ship to give them a distinct new appearance, such as the IAE Best in Show Cutlass Livery.
- In-Game paint items that work like and are stored similar to StarCitizen:ship components.
Players will eventually have to fly to physical locations within the verse such as Cousin Crow to get their vehicles painted.<ref>Inside Star Citizen: Ship Trip | Summer 2021, Star Citizen, YouTube, 2 september 2021</ref><ref>Star Citizen Live: IAE 2951 All Ships Q&A, Star Citizen, YouTube, 3 december 2021</ref>
Availability
More paints are becoming available over time.<ref name=":0" /> The paints are usually released on the day of the corresponding ship sale, often taking place during events that include StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week. They can therefore be released on different days of a recurring event depending on which ships from which manufacturer are sold when during the event.
Some paints are limited editions only available during specific events.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
The paints are not currently available directly ingame and can only be purchased with real money, however a number of skins will eventually be available to purchase directly ingame with UEC, including exclusively purchasable with UEC.<ref name=":1" />
HEX codes
The paints will be available to share as Hex codes in the future which will be particularly useful for sharing within a player organization.<ref>Star Citizen: Behind the Scenes - Variants, Star Citizen, YouTube, 22 November 2016</ref>
