I recently overheard a couple of docking bay workers talking about how they were being reassigned to a repaint project in a few months. I sure hope that means I can repaint my Vindicator with SOE colors. I rarely take pirate ships out for a spin since I abhor piracy (I love my Stratios)! and would feel painting my ships in the SOE style would make a nice statement. I have a Brutor friend who also wants to paint his Abaddon with the Thukker Tribe's color scheme for similar reasons. Anyone else out there have similar desires or have faced people jumping to conclusions based off of what you pilot?

I'm painting my freighter bright pink and yellow, then renaming it the HMS "PLEX pinata" nothing could go wrong with that, right?

If Duty doesn't pick a colour scheme, I'll probably just paint everything I get in Gallente standard. I figure a Rokh's got to look pretty cool in Gallente colours.

Two words, Gallente flags! That's what I will paint my ships in, even the non Gallente ones! Now I can blast "Gallentia, f*ck yeah!" through the intercoms without it seeming tacky.

It'll be nice to fly Ishukone colors, if those rights ever get released to the general Capsuleer population.

Good. Will be easier to spot gallentean filth from distance to destroy them.

Nugoehuvi are also on board with this. I believe the first ships the first ships to be transformed are the Rokh and the Merlin. Neither of these ships I particularly care for but will invest none the less due to enjoying most of Noh holoreel releases.

Every ship is to have the solid gold of the Apocalypse Imperial Issue. The trend toward browness and greyness in holy Amarrian ships must be reversed. God intends Amarr ships to be gold.

Have to admit, the Aliastra-schemed Hyperion model I've seen floating around the net is a rather imposing sight.

I would hope some Ishukone paint schemes to become available in the near future.

You mean, like the ones on the Harpy, Falcon, Eagle and Rhea class ships?

Flags are boring. That's just the Empire way to claim "that's mine"!

I'd prefer a spiky thing with tatts all over it, like a Punk Thrasher variant, where there's a ring through the nose of the ship and bone platings, piercings and a colorful paint-job for the top.

Political stickers. Boomblasters installed. Slogans all over it and graffiti art. Smileys on the cartridges and a sharkface.

"Wildfire Thrasher" or something.

YES!!! Make them all Gold!!! Golden & Glistening in light of the stars... ah so beautiful, so easy to see the grand fleets of the Amarr, so easy to pick out of the back drop, target, and give'em face full of Artillery!

Not sure about the rest of the Mimnatars around here, but I for one approve and demand all Amarr Ships be Solid Gold, just as their glorious prophet has demanded....

Nothing like a Golden Turkey Shoot to start the day off right!

...wonder if they will use actual gold in the paint... maybe i can make sundials from the salvage...

I fly amarr. I do not like this plan. Black and silver.

Sadly, it appears that the trend even among the one Amarr hull manufacturer that did produce a black and silver lineup is toward more brown. Did you see what they've done to the Impel and Anathema, formerly among the best looking ships in space?

You target and shoot ships using ship scanners and targeting systems. The color of a ship doesn't help nor hinder those systems.

All I see when shooting at things is red squares on a tactical overlay.

It's ok, it's the thought that counts.

I support this. And also Amarrian ships should be for the gold they use twice as expensive than our rusty trusty Minmatar ones. And they should give three times the salvage. And I want that the last words of the capsuleer that owned the ship recorded and when salvaged one of the artefacts that drop will be the tears of the pilot.

Like "Oh Noooo! But I have two medium armor reppers installed on my battleship!"
Or "What? Why is this system called Rancer? Never heard of."
Or "I installed 25mm armor plates on my Abbadon. That should be invincible!"
Or "A Typhoon? Nothing an Amarr Battleship can't handle!"
Or "A Hurricane? Nothing an Amarr Battleship can't handle!"
Or "A Rifter? Nothing an Amarr Battleship can't handle!"
Or "Where's the manual?"
Or "What does lowsec mean?"
Or "Amamake. Sounds nice. If a lot of friendly carebears will wait for me?"
Or "CONCORD? They can't harm me!"
Or "I have enough warpcore stabs fitted to be invincible. What's a Broadsword?"
Or "It doesn't hurt when I'm on Drop!"
