EVE General Discussion

How should it be painted?

Black? Solid grey?

Needs more dazzle and less vomit.

No, not necessarily. The ORE ships are all colored red brown and gold in using creative trim patterns. Tech II ships painted in the colors of the company that makes them is cool too. They managed to make the Alliance tournament ships look really cool without using a camo pattern.

I just think when it came time to do the navy ships they phoned it in.

Now they look like moo cows

CCP doesn't need to change Fed Navy Camouflage.

They just need to introduce Space Forests.

first off most navy/army ship have some kind of camo paint.

in wwi and wwii there were navy battleships and carrier's that were camo painted.

thats what sets them about from other thing is the camo you can look and go ok that navy/army ship.

after radar was made navy gave up useing camo paint on there ships because radar would see them anyway. The camo paint is one way of just saying this is a navy ship not a normal ship.

if you fail to understand that then you need to read more. It not there trying to hide the ships in space its something my looking at and not useing the overview you know that ship has camo its not a meta 1 is a faction or t2 ship.

yes i rember when the navy mega was jet black looked nice but i understand why there camo now.

But ccp is talkig about custom paitn youll have to wait untill its ingame to change your paint. Rember when the Ford model T was first made you could have any color you wanted as long as its was black.

1st world problem.

Considering our ships have sensors that can detect any other object within thousands of kilometres and the lifespan of capsuleer ships it doesn't make any sense to paint the ship any colour at all. Would you prefer every ship was bare metal? Probably not. Instead CCP went with visually interesting camo schemes which call to mind actual military equipment. Rather suitable.

The camo's just a cool thing vOv

Did you know there is actually no sound in space

e: This post sounds like me being an arse, sorry. Ultimately you have every right to not like the camo schemes.

I absolutely agree with the OP. I was going to fire up a new thread, but now I'll just post my piece here:



Thanks for the great game CCP!

Please consider giving us a few options when it comes to camo.

Thanks!

The thing about the argument against camo not meaning **** in a world dominated by targeting computers goes both ways. ... Why not paint them in camo?

Lore tells us most of our ships have observation decks, though. Using camo for purely aesthetic reasons to designate a military vessel doesn't seem out of the question. Again - it isn't a big deal either way because there's probably an electronic distinction with civilian craft.

Now, I'm not saying I like the "Put camo on EVERYTHING" mentality that's sprung up as of late, but some of the arguments about it are rather petty.
