Black? Tough to keep clean and prone to swirls when you polish it. A detailer's nightmare.

The mil pack is pretty much that.

Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I bet vibrant yellow and military black appear the same to NPCs.
It would be nice if they didn't.
I'll still pretend they don't.
It's time to give this another go.

I did not see the black paint in offer and I have the lifetime pass.

Anyway got myself the DVD version a a couple paperbacks to occupy me at airports a pin (lost the first one) and a couple of Beanies for me and the wife. I wanted the 30 year anniversary T shirt but the sizes they have wont fit me :( Hell they would not fit me even 30 years ago when I was young and slim (good looking I still am :) )

there's a pink in the Military scheme but it's a faded washed-out looking pink, and probably not the shade she's after

when do the black skins become available to us? are they part of 1.5?

From the store page:

"Black Ships for Black Friday:

29 free black paint jobs for all those that pre-order Horizons, Horizons Beta or own the Lifetime Expansion Pass.

As part of our Black Friday sale we’re adding an Elite Dangerous Horizons pre-order incentive. Every Commander who pre-orders Elite Dangerous: Horizons before Tuesday December 1 at 6PM GMT will get an in-game black paint job pack called Midnight. Don’t worry, all Commanders who have already pre-ordered Horizons, including those with the lifetime expansion pass, and those with Horizons beta access, will also be given the Midnight paint job pack.With this pre-order offer you’ll get 29 black paint jobs in the pack – that’s one for each ship in the game! (excluding those in CQC). This pre-order incentive will be withdrawn after 6PM GMT on Tuesday December 1 - so make sure you pre-order Elite Dangerous: Horizons now to get your free Midnight paint job pack. Those who take advantage of this deal will have the pack waiting for them in-game when Elite Dangerous: Horizons is released."
