Damnation texture bug? Is this for real?

I asked others if they could see this as well, so it's not just me.

Is this a bug? If not, it's hideous.

So assuming it isn't a bug, a couple of things:

1) Why? Fleet command ships are already unpopular. Did you really feel the need to make the Damnation 80% less cool?

2) It's ugly and for some reason "shinier"... I mean perhaps it's just the...*cringe*.... brighter color... but the extra sheen it appears to take on makes it look like its wrapped in cellophane.

3) No, ccp. Just... No.

That is all.

edit: And before you ask, yes it's on max graphics settings.

Looks fine, nice even.

I thought you'd found some easter egg hidden in the texture or a compromising shape when viewed at a certain angle, not an 'I don't like it' thread.

I'm Naomi Hale and this is my favourite thread on the forums.

This is a feedback forum, isn't it? I feedback'd.

Plus, why do you like it? It looks almost light blue (mostly from ambient lighting in dock probably).

In space, it looks almost light and fluffy. Do not want.

Confirming the Damnation currently deviates from every other Khanid ship.

It would seem that someone broke something somehow. CCP, please find the dead hamster and replace it.

Khanid ships need to be darker, not brighter. We are the dark amarr, not the albino amarr. FIX IT.

As a Art Dev has looked at this post any chance of putting on of those new fancy forcefield drone bay doors onto the back of the arbitrator, cant log on to link but if you look at the ship from the back there is a squarish opening behind the main structure that looks similar to that featu

The drone bay opening is in the front of the ship. Just a thought.

Once upon a time, certain variants of the Arbitrator hull had a gigantic engine between the two long parts. Maybe it was part of the regular hull, too. I wasn't around back then but I was told by someone who was "It was causing lag, so they removed it." Maybe it's true and maybe it's not. Either way, that's probably some kind of leftover connection.

Ah fair enough! Im not a regular amarr pilot so that could almost 100% be the reason

In that case, can the art guys do anything about it, maybe turn it into a rear drone baby or sorts, remove it, or turn it back into an engine

Resurrecting this thread because although the Damnation is no longer super-shiny like wet chrome-plated plastic, it's still the wrong shade of black.
