The changes to the Amarr T2 ship colours makes me sick to my stomach.

Well, I was upset about the change to the Caldari ship widow when that was rolled out, and the Gallente ships were already ugly, and the Gallente and Minmatar noob ship models now look like they both had Caldari parents. Unfortunately, the slide downward continues with the uglification of Amarr T2 ship skins. Used to be, there were some T2 ships in the game that I would have considered buying just based on appearance. Now, there are ships appearing on Sisi that, if ported to Tranquility, I will probably NOT be buying, due to color scheme, unless there is a really good functional reason to do so. The Sarum Family (I think the new one is like the old Sarum Family one, although the label is still Carthum Conglomerate) color scheme has totally removed any desire from me to buy the Paladin or any similarly coloured ships and the Curse and Damnation have also been struck with a bit of the "ugly" club, with the blotchy black and grey, although not as much. If the trend toward FUGLY continues when CCP redoes T2 Minmatar ships (I don't think that has been done yet, but not sure), I will be sorely tempted to not even bother with most T2 ships in spite of their usefulness.


I am almost sure that this uglification is a prelude to CCP charging ISK, or worse yet, Aurum for the old color schemes. If so, I will probably not be buying the colors and I will just be spinning my ship and feeling miserable rather than hate myself for giving in (buying the colors I could have gotten for free originally).

I like them.

Your last paragraph doesn't even make sense.

I like them .

Most people just reaaaaaaaaaaaally hate any kind of change.

I think in a few month you'll start to like them too.

Carthum Conglomerate ships have wrong logo and wrong color scheme.
They're not Carthum Conglomerate anymore but Sarum Family.

I have to admit, the slight green tinge to the zealot and other Viziam ships is a little... off. Not bad, as such, just... yeah. Weird. The Carthum( or Sarum, if they're being changed) colours aren't quite working for me, too much of that dried-blood red. I like the restrained use of colour done on the golem; perhaps Sarum ships could follow the same philosophy instead of trying to outdo tony stark P

maybe something isn't applying in that preview that will be in the final version? one could hope
you know, something like the overall colouring scheme of the nebula being ~'reflected' somehow, making it lighter in effect

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

I lost faith when CCP nerfed my navypoc - was only a matter of time until the other ships would follow.

It's a well-known fact that girls buy cars because they "like the colour", not because of performance, efficiency or any other useful feature.

:p

some look good, some not so good. Not sure how I feel about the Gold on brown look but the other colors look good

Bhaalgorn for instance is sexy

EVE has gone black. It may never go back.

You've been dreaming about that starship of yours again, haven't you?

My main problem with the new t2 colors is Viziam. Its a tarnished metal t1 hull.
Perhaps a fade effect like Ishukone but with a stronger green.

I like the Carthum Conglomerate. But I think the red crimson hue should be slightly re-tuned as it looks blood raider. I miss the old Guardian red.

The darker blacks of the Khanid is nice but the Silver makes it look like the Navy

Navy, white and black. simple and nice. But they look too much like Khanid.

They planning on adding new lighting effects once all the models are V3.
Those effects will probably look a lot better if the models are a bit dark.
