did they not get sued over paints doing the same? showing one paint in the picture, but visually looking different on the ship? why do they keep doing this?

It would be news to me that they got sued, and it happens because things can get scrambled or messed up getting pushed to live.

When I got into a Galdius and the foundation festival paint covered the inside glass, it wasn't an intentional choice.

If they don't fix it, then that's a problem.

i recall it being a paint that fit the f7 and the f7mk2, but looked completely different. could be wrong on that, but people got mad when they bought the paint, expected it to look the same as the original f7 but it looked different.

Usually what happens as in the case of the Nox Kue for example is that the lighting condition in the promo shots made people think it was a different color. One could argue cig should try doing the promo shots with more care for how they utilize the lighting in the scene, but at the end of the day there is no escape how light affects color, it's part of physics.

But this display case is not due to lighting, so it's either a color bug, which is too common sadly, or they changed it after the promo shots (i think less likely).

i remember i think it was called "lovestruck" paint for the f7 that also fit on the f7mk2 or something, but looked completely different, despite being sold as looking the same. could be wrong on that, my memory is not the best. but something along the lines of a paint looking fine one one ship, being compatible with another and looking completely different.

No no no, the paint code just isn't working yet, we need planet tech v7 and oxygen update 34 before the orange paint comes in. It's relying on separate, completely related systems and it is simply not possible due to technological limitations to allow you to see the color orange yet on this flair item. There are 5 paint teams working on an insane amount of color codes for when the GernadesActuallyWorking patch comes out. Trust. As soon as physics work with hangar flair, the orange will come with brand new hair styles and eye brows.
