Actually this is incentive plan for Aurum based paint jobs. They will make your favorite PvP hull so damn ugly you'll gladly plex to get the dancing pink elephants painted over. Twisted


I was thinking that, but I didn't want to give them ideas Evil

Camo skins in EVE should be darkened with star patterns painted across. This would help you camouflage in space.

That would also mean the universe would have to look like a universe instead of being multicolored and bright. And underwater. So nevermind

Honestly, the paintjob on your ship has no bearing whatsoever, as there's never an opportunity to aim and fight manually anyway. You have to have a target lock, which uses your ship's active sensors, and the electronic signature of the ship. Only way to cover up that electronic signature is to specifically build your ship to be stealthier. And honestly, it makes sense to not be able to fire without a lock. otherwise you'll be flying along one day in a freighter and run into a capital shell that's been flying through space from an engagement two years ago but nothing had activated its prox fuse until now.

I agree, we need more space trees and space mountains. Maybe even add in some space shrubberies.

oh ... I can just see the mission instructions now ...

" ... then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle "

BDUs are all the same.
…and yet they will let you identify the unit and as such can gain historical significance. MCCUU ≠ DCU ≠ ACU ≠ NWU ≠ etc (and that's just for the last decade and a single nation — add ODs to the list and you immediately introduce historical significance). Again, it's no different from any other marking in that regard.


Until you realize most militaries worth their salt are using multicam nowadays...

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.

Do tell...shoulder patches on bdu are the only differentiation between army, navy, air force, and Marines. Really?

Army isn't all there is in the US, it's simply the lowest common denominator.

Yup, a leg is a leg is a leg, if it is not Airborne it is just "everything else" P
