rather than making the navy comet look like it's horrifyingly fugly brethren, can't they make the other fed navy ships look like the navy comet? imagine a megathron, black and white with blinking police lights.

Because it's the navy not the police :D :D :D

That's not ruling out a police-issue Mega, since we see those and other color patterns in the game already (Roden security, customs, those orange FW guards, and whatnot and that's just for Gallente.)

Haven't been on Sisi, but if the Comet pics I've seen are representative, that camo looks awful. And if the blinking light has gone - THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' POINT OF GETTING A COMET - then ... well, I am disappoint.

Everything else is looking pretty spiffy though, from the pics I've seen Lol

The gallente police NPCs gets an updated version of the old navy comet Evil. it's prettier than the navy comet has ever been, and then us players get the camo versions. shame CCP, shame.

Well, at least this makes more conceptual sense. Even if I still disagree with space camo.

We'll be able to reskin the ship ourselves in the future.
Will miss the police light though.

I would consider paying to skin it, but the police light needs to stay.

lights on space ships is a derp concept filled with slow blinks and crusted lip drool...

cammo and lights are clearly a severe side effect of the downs.

Camouflage colours such as those don't make any sense. For space you would paint your ship black or have some nebula colours to it. Since we detect them with various scanners and overviews - camouflage doesn't make any sense.

I bet some "patriotic" American is behind this .. that or some guy that wanted to work on war games.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

eeeiiiwww

it looks like a particularly painful turd.

If that's an example of what CCP considers "good" I'm not sure why I'm haven't unsubbed ages ago.

Seriously though, CCP's suck ass art director needs to be demoted. He's on some crazy rampage trying to remove every last bit of GOOD art in EVE, and make it either bland (a la every last thing to do with avatars) or make it look likeshit (a la new comet, the revenant, etc.) How does this guy even have his position in the company still?!!?

I wish they could make the fed navy ships either black/grey like to old navy mega, or metallic/yellow like this mega http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/graphics/ids/512/2139.jpg

imagine a metal/yellow navy comet or vexor.

... Paint schemes will not make you less vunerable in space. Space sensors are reliant on a numbe of other things aside from photons. The most telltale is thermics and mass. Both are which current technology of the space shuttle can be SPOTTED and LOCKED onto from beyond pluto.

Fast forward 400 years in space and paint schemes are even less senisble.

Chances are they are based on thier army uniforms.
