Dear Father Grigory,

Please be adviced that "camo" is not a good way to communicate a "space navy" identity.

The reasons are obvious. Insert 500,000 words of random citation of relevant whinings here.

Please, if CCP is heading toward the direction of fixing all the old outdated wrong inappropriate stuff, please STOP making space camos.

At least, considering it's used by Gallente navy, they should have made it pink and baby blue camo, not green.

I must say, it looks a bit.. ugly, but it follows the other Gallente Navy versions.

Well you never know, someone might come along one day and terraform those asteroids, plant lots of trees and then you'll be glad of othe camo paint job.

Because green and black are the traditional colours of the Gallente navy, harking back to the decisive battles of the first federation in the megaswamps of Gallente Prime.

Could be disruptive camouflage at least. Wouldn't make any sense neither, but it would be cool.

Okay you know what navy skins SHOULD be?

A flat neutral colour like a grey or a white or a black or something

With highly reflective coloured portions corresponding to race.

So, say, the navy hookbill would be mainly a dark grey with a few shiny blue sections on it.

Colour each navy's "stripes" according to faction: Caldari Blue, Gallente Green, Minmatar Red, Amarr Yellow.

Leave Space Camo for custom skins.

It makes perfect sense. Targeting in EVE is not visual at all. Advanced space ships would be entirely reliant on their sensors. The only point to having a space ship any colour is for aesthetics! :D Make it pretty! Now if you think the camo is ugly then that is a fair point :O But saying it doesn't make sense... doesn't make sense!

ccp can't come up with any actual content so they re skin ships and call it content. Nothing to see here move along.

Dooh! That feature never actually got implemented! Sorry carry on.
