It looks like a megathron or vindi lite at the moment.

The Vindicator sure has lost it's sexy look after Rhea release... Before it used to be black with dark green lights, now it looks worse.

Regardless, this idea has been brought up before.

*Happily zips around is his finally non-****-brown amarrian ships without a care in the world.*

But seriously, while a lot of ships look pretty awful now, (mostly gallente and sansha ships) Amarrian ships are back to being sexy gold.

it was a travesty what the new vindicator coat of paint entices.

Whereas before it was a menacing dark hue to match its prowess, now it's an off-color insult to its reputation!

WHomever is in charge of the vindicator art assets needs to reassess their artistic idea of it

This. I would like someone from art department to explain what was the reason of this change in the first place.

Pretty sure there was a dev blog after the recent release regarding the unintended consequence of the new 'feature" to some ships.

More patches will be coming I'm sure, don't tense up.

The Vindicator's post-PBR skin originally was black. Somewhere along the way, all the Serpentis ships went from black to grey. Whereas the rest of our feedback on SiSi got something done, telling Team TriLambda multiple times that grey Serpentis ships would not do had little effect.

Source: I was part of the group writing all the PBR feedback and saw the changes to all the ships as they happened.
