Remove all paint decay from everything. Who's brilliant idea was that to begin with anyway?

Paint decay, whilepart of the game, is ridiculously too fast. It's a good thing we have the forums to air out our grievances. Keep those constructive criticisms coming so we can have ourselves something worth paying for.

I say let paint jobs decay. I need a purpose in life. And my new purpose it to make and sell paint kits.

Petitions mean squat..


But I also agree that paint should last longer. Fade, sure... but set it on a timer (ha!) rather than a counter.. it should last at least 2 weeks.. then *gradually* fade.. not nuke after x<0 ..

Well, I am only but a new player and onlyLevel 3 engineering (for now) but I say:


The ideal solution I think , would be to let the paintjobs decay, but very, veryslowly under normal conditions. In extreme conditions much faster and far faster if the droid/vehicle gets combat damage.


And dont remove it completely, but let it fade, weather, scratched and burned.


So a combat-proven droid would look weathered, burned and scratched after a couple of fights, same for a vehicle, buta vehicle, whichdidn't see combaton arough planet would simply fade its color.


This way, the vehicle/droid not only reflects his owners lifetstyle and mentality through color, but also by its change.


Oh, and to the RL guys: Lets see a paintjob, thats holding 10 years on a desert planet like Tattoine, with glaring sun and lotsa sand and small stones. Drive a car under these conditions for a year andyou'll be surprised.

If they leave it in at all, it should last more than a month.


...and lower repair costs while you're at it! Swoops would cost their own value to repair in 20 hours of use.


We need less new frustrations.In SWG: Change Is Bad (even when adding what should have been improvements).
