And guess what - MORE F***ING SPACE CAMO!

Seriously CCP, you need to fire whichever person in the art department has such a raging hardon for camo.

He would be better of working on World of Tanks or something.

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

V3 Angel ships look good.
Same with V3 Minmatar (yes, moar space camo, omfg Roll)

Seriously CCP, you need to tell whichever person in the art department is responsible for this, that he is doing a great job.

They would look even better if they just updated the current skins to higher resolution. Roll

Terrestrial camo is not only ugly, but it's freakin' ******** on space ships.

Yet it is even more stupid on Angel Cartel ships which are supposedly alien in design!

I really don't see the problem here.

The Angel Cartel is a group of thugs. An organised group of thugs maybe but still a group of thugs.

Isn't this pretty much the space equivalent of fighting with your pants around your knees, wearing all kinds of sparkly gold jewellery, tattooing your body with random phrases and objects whilst holding your gun sideways? All because it looks cool.

Sure, those actually in charge of the cartel are probably smart enough to know that space camo does absolutely nothing. But they still need random idiots to fly their ships and do whatever they do that makes them money. Those random idiots are much more likely to sign up for an organisation with space camo than one which is all logical and sensible.

I mean just look at our own reality. Look at the "You don't need condoms if you have swag" posters. Turn on your television and look at all the idiots there. Look at all the crazy 'pimped-out' cars there are.

There's absolutely nothing more realistic than spending billions of dollars/isk on something which does absolutely nothing at all and probably even has a negative effect just for the sake of it "looking cool".

Well I am not as upset as you are but I do agree it serves no logical point.

Still in favor of just choosing your own skin or make 5 to 10 choices per ship available if custom is too much to handle.

i'd be ok with space camo if only they removed the machariel's tumor.

I should buy an Ishtar.

I'm okay with space camo if they would just give the Machariel either 8 guns or 6 guns and adjust the bonuses accordingly. The 7 turrets in uneven rows drives me insane. >.>

Agree that the space camo is just stupid. The fact that it is an improvement says more about the current paintjob than about the new one.

or just reduce it to 6 guns and don't adjust the bonuses to troll people.

They look awesome!

More importantly however; I can identify quite easily a Mach, Cynabal and Dramiel from left to right respectively. What, however, are the two ships that appear centre image top and bottom? New Cartel ships?

Ahaha yeah.

And to rub it in, all NPC Machariels get full rows of guns! Twisted

They've always been in the game, but only as NPC enemies.

Looks good, I like it much better than if it was some boring, solid color.

While I would love a ship customization screen that would allow me to skin the ships anyway I like. I do understand why that will probably never happen and that it's a good thing. I remember waiting on custom skins and maps to download back in my Quake days, the space requirements and the lag they introduced was annoying at best. With so many people on the system, I could just image something like millions of skins being created and then hours spent syncing them between the server and clients at downtime. Add that to the fact that there would be countless idiots flying around with penises painted all over their ships and I'm glad we don't have the option to paint ships the way we want them.


A design contest, like the one with Deviant Art, that focuses on ship skins would be a really good thing I think. Perhaps even expand it to include structures like pos towers just to add a bit of variety. Then once a month have a vote for a few new designs to be added to the game. We players get something shiny, the system doesn't get overloaded and CCP gets some free publicity and potentially some new player subs as the buzz surrounding the contest attracts people. A thriving mod community can do wonders for a game, the Quake community is a prime example if not the gold standard.

Personally, I think these ships should be metallic purple and yellow with extendable sound systems and bounce/lifters when they are not flying.
