Why nerf the Gallente ship colors?

It's bugged me a little for awhile, but today I looked through a lot of the T1 ships and it bummed me out. The paint jobs are all the same. That's not the Gallente I remember. I remember them as free thinkers with innovative ideas. I used to see this creativity in their ships. The white Myrmidon, aqua Thorax, and brown Dominix, these ships were unique and had character. Not like Amarr or Caldari ships, these people have no taste. Gallente looks like its starting to lose its taste too.

I'm not sure you can call it a 'nerf'. And are you sure that it wasn't just the light you were looking at them in? It also might be that they did make the colors more uniform with the V3 shaders, I'm not sure.

Furthermore, if you actually want something to change, you should write a well-reasoned post about why it should change. If this is simply "Wahh, CCP changed something without sending a formal, written request for permission to me" then '/thread'.

I guess i can see What your saying, Gallente ships should be very liberal in thier design. while most of the current models achieve that colors dont.
However i also must point out that T2 ships were the ones that got the color nerf. The dull red colors look..... dark and red. The gold colors dont meet my expectation of what is gold (i.e. very shiny).
I can kinda see how the Green color was fixed for T2 but the Gold looks like Crap.....Literally its almost brown.

with the T1 colors i think they Standardised the entire Gallente Linup. After they enhanced the models they repainted them with the same color palete so now all T1 gallente ships are the same colors. now we have a bunch of ships with a dull color selection.

What we should see is Ship colors that reflect the artistry, talent, and the boldness of federation craftsmen, leave all that doom and gloom to the minmatar please.

They ruined the Gallente shuttle Sad

Its planed to sell ship skins in NeX store. You just have to wait (few years). When it will be released, you could have your pink dominix with flowers.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.
