It´s for when you crash on a planet.. Very useful IMHO when you hide your space ship in a shrubbery.

Bring back black Navy Mega....

Camo on space ships is about as appropriate as a neon pink my little pony themed skin.

My sensors don't care what colour you are.

How about you just do some basic drab navy style skins, kinda like how you did everything in the NEX then let us buy our preferred skin to put on it.

isnt it obvious what they're doing? we are telling them we hate the camo and ofc ccp hears us whine and puts in more camo, because that will automatically create more people who will want to spend RL money on NEX-custom skins. Shocked

…as did the Occator. It seems the virus that infected the Diemost and kept it from being the silver (now bronze) of Duvolle ships is now infecting some of the Roden ships as well.

Every ship in the game. EVERY FRIKKIN SHIP I say, should be immediately painted flat black. That's as real as it gets.

Boring as hell, but it's what you people want, isn't it?

Be careful what you wish for, folks. You might not like it when you get it.

Any viable "camouflage" is masking your various signals that would give you away (heat, gravity etc.) to enemy sensors. This has already been stated twenty times now.

Camouflage makes as much sense as tiger stripes. It's only aesthetics in this context. This is not to say the camo is ****, I'm saying it fits as well in as any "crazy" paintjob in the sense that pherhaps the navy wanted a cool pattern to make their ships uniqe and looked back at ground warfare, because they wanted to keep it down a bit rather than going for some obnoxious colours and stripes and whatnot.
I liked the old orange decals on gallente navy ships however, but I don't think the camo paintjobs are as silly as some people are raving on about. My only feud with it is that it masks some characteristics of the ships by making the camo pretty much cover the entire ship uniformly.

On a side note CCP can I have a MIRROR camo? Or CHROME paintjob?

Boring is preferable to fugly. Most of us don't care whether or not the skin would be useful. What this thread is really about is the fact that the camouflage is ugly, bad, stupid etc etc and we don't want it. Since camouflage doesn't work anyway we would rather have some nice skin, like the orange one seen on some gallente NPC ships.

I wish the Navy Skins were like what there Navy flies.
