Please please remove the camo from the Machariel and give it the darker color scheme from before Trinity!

And while you're at it, remove the freaking spikes from the front...

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

If CCP just gave us a spectrum of colours to choose from and paint over the damn thing while cycling through different patterns we wouldn't have this problem.

I think it would be cool to be able to fly a rifter the same colour scheme as the angel cartel, why not have preset ones for factions too?

Hrm... for uniformity purposes, perhaps. To differentiate from standard-class ships, and to signify that the faction ship is indeed from it's assigned navy. It obviously doesn't have anything to do with be 'invisible in space'.

I like the digi-camo on the CNR. I got a Navy Raven from the EVE store a few months ago, then picked up a CNR in-game and was surprised it was changed to digi-camo instead of desert. It's like they're modeling after the American military or something... Question

The only good camouflage would be a cloaks. Twisted

One that makes you look just like an asteroid. Then when miners shoot you, you can shoot back.
One that makes your mammoth look like a hurricane for five seconds after cloak wears off at a gate.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Not just the ships, the cloths too.

They sell a formal camo skirt Shocked

Now where would I wear that? In a space station maybe?

Someone is obsessed with camo, they need to not let that person design things.

Yup, camo was the super-lazy "creative" choice.

Given that you cannot hide an on-grid ship in Eve without a cloak (they always appear on the overhead,) you might as well have the paint jobs (and clothes) be flashy/stylish in order to make a statement.

Well dead space pockets have a lot of clouds, gas and junk. And just because we have sweet tricked out sensors doesn't mean that the other 99% of the universe that isn't pod pilots with up to date gear isn't using long range visual spotting in those areas. Also In the super future paint has to be hell'a cheep. So if .03 isk means some hill billy fails to see you why not?

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

I am a big fan of the flying circus school of thought regarding camouflage, proposed by Manfred von richthofen

or the Dazzle camouflage from the WWI.

Well, all our preferences aside, at least it sounds as though we'll be getting skinnable ships eventually here, since Crucible released the first half of the new shader model ships. Once the other half is complete, they can release skins for them all so we can swap them around.
