After seeing a lot of positive feedback across many different forms of EVE discussion media, I would like to formerly propose that the Federation Navy Comet be reverted to it's previous skin.

There are many favorable responses to this idea across the EVE Forums, Reddit, Twitter, and other EVE media outlets. While I have seen and could document countless cases of people being in favor of this change, I have yet to see anybody who prefers the current skin to the previous one.

If the previous skin does not hold up with current V3 skins, an updated V3 version (complete with flashinglight!) would be a very acceptable alternative.

I am posting this in hopes of drawing attention to a central location so that all in favor of restoring the Comet to it's former glory can show their support here, where our cries can be heard. With the changes to faction frigates due this summer, now seems to be the best time for this change.

For those who have not seen the Comet in it's previous glory: http://i.imgur.com/ZDCVSPU.png

It should be noted that the light flashed!

I'm asking that all in favor of this change post in this thread as if it were a petition. Other feedback is also appreciated. If it worked for the Vagabond, it can work for the Comet!

I do quite like the new skin.

I would suggest standard LP stores revert to the Police Comet while the Militia stores keep the new one.

Yes, CCP needs to reskin us to our amazing old Navy Comet. If you could do engine trails, you could do this.

I would rather see the Police skins made available for purchase on more than just the Comet. Just think about it...

White paint Police Megathron with flashing red and blue police lights on the forward bows?

Hell, if things like this were available from, I don't know, an NPC as an ISK sink, I'd pay.

It not really camouflage as its not really intended to blend into the environment, for that you need a cloaking device. Better to think of it as warpaint, designed to tell you this is some kind of military vessel. Yes if you read the description it says "police ship", however the ship called "Federation Navy Comet". The only one available to fly in game is the Navy version.


Why would you pick something so dull, out-of-place and outright silly for your "war paint" though? Far better to pick something distinctive and striking, something that stands out, like, say, a big white stripe down the side!


But to me a white stripe does not suggest that its a military vessel, meanwhile woodland camo screams military vessel.

Yes, i say add paint schemes to corp LP stores that you can apply to any ship. (not weird faction variants of every ship)

Nah, see, we need the opportunity to buy the actual Police skin Comet with the Cylon eye.

New skin looks much better, and cops are pigs.
