Why do air force planes (from the time before we even had an air force) paint all sorts of designs on their noses/sides? We had the bombshell beauties, and others painted shark's teeth.




Confirming I want sharks teeth on my Domi & Mega

We really don't need graphics at all in a spead sheet game. Everything can be tracked on the real-time spread sheet (overview).

Remove all graphics.


Golden comment, this one. Made me Big smile

Anyway, the paint jobs are a matter of subjective taste. Personally, I think painting navy issues in camo as well as more exotic paint jobs for the exotic ships is really cool.

Best of all would be a paint shop like in the Need For Speed-series. I'd never leave my computer again (except maybe during DT to get food and take a p!ss).

People defending space camo are hilarious, it serves no other purpose than "easy texture to create and to hide imperfections in the ship design". There's no space-logic where camo would make sense, it's just lazy design.


I do not disagree good Sir.

But for now, leave my Navy Domi as it is.

My original Domi is a poorly defined, indistinctly coloured, space blob.

Perhaps one day CCP will give the original Domi more detail and improve the colour contrast.

You seem to have a simplistic black and white view on this colourful issue Sir.

Seriously, I don't think cammo belongs on spaceships. Space ships are not tracked visually, they are tracked via scanners and scanners are not fooled by paint Roll

obviously gray camo doesn't work in space. maybe the out-of-place paint jobs are just their way of saying "we know the paint doesn't matter, so we had some fun with it. lol space camo!"

You know they v3'd stuff for paint schemes right? you could I dunno... change them? when they finally come out. Honestly options should be high with or without camo.

I DEMAND TIE-DIE.
