Having flown a Daredevil around in a combat site arguably three times too heavily populated for it and spending the better part of an hour doing so, I wish to start out by complimenting the art department on changing the Daredevil to have a Serpentis skin. It looks very, very nice this way.

Now please consider finishing the transformation. Turn the background of the icon green like the other serpentis ships (I admit I'm not sure if a human does this or a machine) and please very strongly consider turning the engine flames the serpentis blue-green (trails too) rather than the Angel/Minmatar color they currently are.

Of course if all of these changes are already in the works, then that's wonderful and I suppose I'm suggesting something that's already been thought of.

The Daredevil was made with Angel engineering, from all i know its a really long unknown story but non the less its not Serpentis.

Also Angel ships are gallente/minmitar, Hard plates rounded up like gallente, light weight high speed like Minmitar.

You say it's not Serpentis, and yet it's wearing Serpentis badges and paint while toting around hybrid weapon bonuses.

While the Guardian Angels are technically a division of the Angel Cartel, they work so closely with Serpentis in all things that they effectively are a division of Serpentis themselves. Notice how there is Angel and Arch Angel projectile ammo, but Guardian ammo is in fact for hybrids.

Moreover, if you look very closely at the exhaust nozzles while the engines are running at full speed, you can discern the same blue-green glow that Serpentis engines have. It abruptly changes to the orangeish Angel flames because the color to use hasn't been changed yet.

Everything else has already been changed. All I'm looking for is a fix for the two remaining details that feel out of place.

Well, Daredevil is the Serpentis faction frig and should be treated like Vindi and Vigilant. That said, I bug reported the trails some days ago and it was locked in as a "defect".

That's interesting. I hadn't considered that it might be a defect rather than something they hadn't gotten around to yet.
