How hard is it? How hard is it to make space ships that people ENJOY LOOKING AT?
The new faction ship paintjobs:
Armageddon Navy Issue Megathron Navy Issue Vindicator Dominix Navy Issue Scorpion Navy Issue Rattlesnake Typhoon Fleet Issue
The Vindicator and Rattlesnake aren't that bad. The Vindi has that subdued black camo and it works ok. Nothing spectacular that screams 'OMG Expensive Ship!' but it's not horribly ugly either. Same goes for the Rattlesnake. I kind of like the desert tan thing it has going on.
The Navy Mega/Dominix are just... yuck. Baby poop green camo? Really? Why couldn't you just leave the Navy Mega black like it was? Everybody loved it. The more black and the more shiny the new ships are, the better everyone will like them. True story.
The Navy Scorpion- why brown? And why that shade of brown? It muddles the shape of the ship and turns it into a brown blob. The edges of the various substructures get lost in the muddy low contrast color scheme. Make it something high contrast and dramatic, like silver/gloss black tiger stripe camo or something. Is that not 'Caldari' enough? Then how about a navy blue/charcoal grey camo color scheme? Anything but brown.
The Typhoon Fleet Issue- here I think that a very dark brown on black camo pattern with large shapes (exactly what isn't currently on the ship with it's small dense shapes) would work well on the Phoon. Thats if the lights were made a bright orange to offset the darkness of the rest of the shape. Yeah, brown and cylindrical looks like a turd, but the ship is turd shaped, what are you gonna do?
The Armageddon Navy Issue- probably the least worst of all of the new color schemes, but that doesn't make it good just because all the rest suck. I think that a solid gloss black paint job, just like the EOM ships would look spectacular, but in order to set them apart from the EOM NPCs the ship needs to have bright yellow lights instead of blue.
As usual, I'm open to suggestions as far as what everyone else thinks about these new colors and possible different color schemes for the various ships. Come on people, CCP got rid of the Gallente Baby Blue after we complained about it enough. We can get them to change this as well. Show your support! -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Has anyone checked the Gallente Navy Comet on sisi? I loved the black/white thing going like on the Navy Megathron, have they changed that to green too?
Seriously though, were the art department on crack they thought up that paint job for the mega? Look at the domi, they were lazy the patten is symmetrical on both sides.

Agreed most paintjobs suck ! Hail glossy silver / charcoal and navy blue colors. I also like the Paladin red. The Armageddon looks the best imo but still the artcrew were lazy. Just paint that thingy black and hop ... we have a new ship. Make em look 'dangerous with restraint' instead of this 'omg I'm a rebel 14 year old camo' fake.

Yes. Absolutely. That thread will not have anywhere near the viewing traffic of a completely separate thread in General Discussion that is dedicated to this issue. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Yeh i gotta admit they look pretty bloody awful.
And tbh it is important, so i hope CCP's art department is taking eve communities opinion seriously. Most of us dont know 'art' but we know what we like.
Doesn't need to be fluorescent yellow, but something more lively and less tree coloured be nice. The ships are in space not on the ground in some wood.

The Comet is still dark grey/white. And the slicer is still medium brownish. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

I think if they just changed the colour layer within the texture to a dark blue'ish/teal, they'll fix it.

I don't get why they use camo on spaceships even less why it is a forest camo. Is it a crime to paint ships in a way to make them look cool/colours of the empire/service?

Edited by: Cardiana on 17/09/2009 17:29:54 ccp are this designs a joke or what ?
tbh the navy mega in black and with blue windows that we had in the very beginning was the best. that had real style. then came what we have now which is kinda worse but now this? cmon ccp. this is what you intend to give us? who poked you in the eye?

I like the new schemes. Nothing says "Navy Issue" like a Woodland pattern camo paint job.

They don't look too bad to me, but then screenshots and actually seeing them in are slightly difference experiences.

I agree that camo--especially woodland camo--is kind of silly on any ship, especially considering all the sensors and things that spaceships have--whether or not you can visually see a spaceship against space at many kilometers away isn't really an issue.

there is only one color that spaceships are worth, and that's black. for everything else, raw surface is good enough. camo jobs are just lol :)
tho, wouldn't mind predator-transparent.
