What's really dumb is if you are zoomed in close enough to see your paint job while in space.

No dumber than the multi-shades-of-blue police camo I see on tv news almost every night.

Of course you are correct.
The stealth ships should all be matte black, with radar absorbing paint, aka B2 bombers.

But nope, CCP instead tries to squeeze cash out of silly people with various skins.
Humans have proven throughout history there always has been, and always will be, a market for frivolous items bought by frivolous people.
Don't try and talk me out of my neon green (with either stylish blue or pink stripes) plush camo for my Raven, I still want that.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

The link you provided is not working as that poor girl seems to have two sections of her body missing !

This is not a signature.

We're talking about a game where one race is shooting 'lasers' and Tachyon Beams and another is using ARTILLERY and Autocannons lol. And this game has SHIELDS strong enough to protect a ship from above mentioned high powered directed energy weapons, but somehow not strong enough to protect the same ships from minmatar bullets....
Pssst, Minmatar Bullets are filled with antimatter. Cool

Also noticed when I searched that almost every anti-camo thread is locked, but they seem really popular and really tame.

Conspiracy? Blink


All threads older than 90 days get auto locked I think (they def get auto locked but not sure on the time cut off).

There's no amount of camo, design of camo, or indeed potential camo that could totally hide that shape.

As for the heat signature..... huge.

And I cant believe that by page 6 no one has mentioned spaceship forest camo and the forest moon of endor in the same sentence.

There's hope for the forums yet.

As a ship could be any colour you like and it makes no difference, what makes forest camo a less intelligent choice than police lights?

Or flat grey?

Or splattered in pretty red stains?

Pretty much this, tbh.

In a game where most combat ranges are measured in kilometers, the idea of visual camoflage being in any way effective at protecting your ship is ludicrous. It's just there as a way to differentiate the hull from other's of the same visual model. Could they have gone a different way? Sure. That's one reason I am hoping we get (some version of) the ship painter that was recently demoed sooner as opposed to later. I will spend so much disposable income on that.....Oops

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Camo on ships is very important. Just last week I was filming a hunting documentary in low sec. I was in orbit above the planet Bosena I, when one of my scouts spotted a white tailed deer on the surface. I immediately loaded up the tactical munitions and let me tell you I put one hell of a hole in that deer from over 50km away.

Had I not been in my full camo gear what would have happened? That deer would have seen me and run away thats what. I support every hunters right to bear arms and wear camo regardless of situation.

Every day I'm wafflin!

This seems as good a time as any to mention that I think the prototype cloaking device should just be a bucket of black paint.

Sure. It's as much a unit identifier as any other marking or colouration. All such identifiers can gain some kind of significance over time.


No, the shoulder patch (in the US) is the unit identifier, esp right side because that is the combat unit you serve with.

BDUs are all the same.


As of 2002'ish each branch of the American military is wearing a different type of camouflage... the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marines all look, behave, train and fight vastly different from the others.

Tippia was right. You are wrong.

Thank me later :D

Of course the first regular combat use of camo patterns for uniforms was actually by the Waffen SS.
