Why oh WHY would they give CN ships digital camo...

Im sure that digital camo will help jme greatly hiding away in urban regions of space... -.-; People in Jita will never see me coming!

-PS. When can i get my gold print raven?

If anything i figured they would give it the red stripes like the widow or maybe some very conservative orange/black-half-life style paint job.

-Sigh... time to train another race. any Suggestions? i hear blasters are now fixed or are proj's still the usual?

Gold(ish) print Raven is called a Golem. Train for a little while and fly one.

This whole camo-in-space thing has always been my rage button. CCP is playing by the rule of cool, it seems.

Really, who cares? It's just visual flavor for ship types that are slightly above the stock version. It's not like we'd be detecting ships 100's of km out visually. Just deal with it. Hate it that much? Zoom WAY out and you won't be able to see ****.

It's really more like there are several cooler and more realistic/useful color schemes that the Icelanders at the top could've picked.

Such as? Believe me, I'd certainly pick other colors/schemes myself. I just don't care about that much. This game isn't special for its visual appeal.

Now that I'd disagree with. I play EVE half for the cool spaceships; luckily, I don't fly Caldari.

Snow camo comes to mind.... seems fitting for iceland. lol

they should let u pick if u want it WITH or WITHOUT. I don't mind flying the stock raven as long as it has the CNR's stats. The other camo's are some what passable.

Digicamos on the caldari navy lineup are definetly an improvement in comparison to the old.

Not to mention .. look at the poor gallantes with their junglewarface schemes going on ... or the minnies with their ... saturdaynight hangoverpuke themes.

Id say caldaris look real nice ...

Digital camo makes sense on caldari: Straight lines, cold colors, order. Control.

Gallente's camo is free form, with bright...er colors, that are more organic, and free.

Amarrians have the beautiful dark colors contrasted with the incredibly bright lights and panels.

Minnies, **** if i know.

Point being, Camo shows how the race is, plain and simple.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

You should thank the gods you're not Minmatar.

When the V3ing comes around, almost all T2 variants of Minmatar ships will have camo on them!

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Only the T2 ones with camo.

The basic variants are beautifully crisp in texture and details now.

Why people hate on the camos is beyond me.. Why do cars have different colors in real life? Who needs black, blue, green, yellow, red, white, silver etc, I mean why bother? WHY DO SOME CARS EVEN HAVE RACING STRIPES OR FANCY PICTURES ON EM FFS? IT DOESNT MAKE THEM GO FASTER!

See how stupid of you it is to hate on ships in space being colored when you probably have a car that has a color, or a bike that has a color, or CLOTHES that have colors.

Idiocy on the internet..

Camo in space is not cool, it's just stupid. Colour spaceships for fun, and some captains might colour them camo for the lulz, but that would be the individual whim of captains.

But it's beneath the dignity of a ******* SPACE NAVY to paint its prime ships in patterns that only have meaning in relation to ground or sea warfare. It's stoopid.

Stoopid.

Stoopid, I tells ya.

Not good enough CCP.

Camo=/=Colour.

Are you really that stupid? Who (apart from rednecks and the like) would even think about painting their family car in a camo pattern?
