We are the Station Sheen Preservation Society. Empress save Imperial and all the different varieties!**
A recent update to Singularity included initial versions of the new factional station exteriors. 38 factions have chosen to refit their stations (and the stations of subsidiary corporations in which those factions hold controlling interest) with decorated exteriors no longer limited by the strict aesthetics of the Empires. In fact, the Empires themselves have gotten in on the act with Naval and Governmental designs.
While "standard" stations will still exist in game for unaffiliated NPC corps and non-factional conglomerates, a vast number of dockable locations should appear resplendent in owner-dictated livery.
We've done our best to check a representative sampling of the 4000+ factional stations in New Eden, but we also invite all capsuleers to comment on the individual stations they encounter. If you notice a Quafe factory sporting Inner Zone Shipping orange, or an Imperial logo on a Blood Raider outpost, or any issue at all, please file a bug report immediately. You can also let us know about the discrepancy by commenting this thread.

HOLD FAST!
The contractors are still working on a number of the refits, following comments from owners and designers alike. As such, the most prudent course of action for any discerning exterior design critic would be to delay comment until later in the week, following a second, more recent update.
You have my sincerest apologies for this fully automatic starter pistol burst. |

So I haven't managed to have a full look into the update yet but I had a fly through a few Caldari systems and noticed a couple of odd issues.
Firstly both Caldari Constructions and the Chief Executive Panel stations are painted in Wiyrkomi colours with the Wiyrkomi corporation logo. I believe one of the other Caldari Corporations (possibly Expert Housing) was using Nugoeihuvi colours (the red camo). Personally I feel it would be more lore fitting for corporations without their own skins to just continue using the default colours rather than flying colours of rival business interests (at least for the Caldari State)
I should have some time to investigate more tonight and give better feedback than this, I'm also not as versed in the lore of the corporations for the other Empires so might not pick up on any lore issues there.
Otherwise I REALLY like the look of the new stations and can't wait to have them live in the game, it will really give Empire a nice fresh look with each system/station feeling a little different. Lieutenant Turelus Caldari Independent Navy Reserve The Fourth District

Hey, they look really amazing, a bug I noticed at Lai Dai Factories is their logo is upside down :). Definitely makes environment more diverse and rich while travelling. Also can't wait for the dynamic landscape. |

Inverted logos are one of the fixes due for arrival later this week. If they still appear next week, we will have words most severe with the house painters.
I'm sure that many megacrops, Caldari Constructions included, would not hesitate to allow their good friends and associates the privilege of using station decoration as means of advertising...for a percentage.
That said, I am making notes for requested adjustments to these arrangements, and will continue to record these comments for those more suitably situated in the decision making process to judge accordingly.

You thought Imperial agricultural science relied on random mutation and simple splicing to develop that glorious Amarrian Wheat?
Mega. Crop.
(Just kidding. Never been tampered with. Ever.)
Which, to stay on topic, may be grown in a station featuring a new factional exterior upon which I sincerely invite all of you to comment. |

- Expert Distribution, Modern Finances and Nogueihuvi are the same (all ugly as hell )
- Intaki and Impetus look nice. Impetus, Material Aquisition and Quafe are the same.
- Alliastra and TransStellar shiping are the same
- Joint Harvesting and Khanid look almost the same (except a little red area)
- Khanid is far to dark (I can barely see 90% of the station)
- Mordus Legion has normal gallente stations
- The Gallente Logistics Station doesn't seem to have different variants at all
- The light reflevtion on the Caldari Administrative Station is far to bright
- Sansha's Nation is pretty underwhelming (seems to be all standard)
All in all I can only find about 5 different stations per main faction. And most of them look very similar |

I fancy myself fairly well versed in EVE lore, especially Caldari lore. Expert Housing and Expert Distribution are NOH subsidiaries. Also Expert Intervention, but that's the DUST corp.
From in game show info... (I showed the important parts)
Expert Housing Expert Housing was founded at the same time as Expert Distribution, but the two sibling companies have fared very differently.
Expert Distribution The Expert brand... Part of the NOH family...
Expert Intervention Expert Intervention is the latest business launched under the NOH megacorporation's Expert brand...
It's not clear if Caldari Constructions is a subsidiary or independent corp. DUST 514 Recruit Code - https://dust514.com/recruit/zluCyb/

Also, how do Ishukone stations look? The Rhea, for instance, looks entirely too dark at present as it lacks the gradient that lightens up the Eagle, Buzzard, etc.

The Rhea looks nice, but it's sporting a non-standard Ishukone skin. The normal Ishukone skin is dark metal in the front and transition to gold in the back. The Rhea has a dark color with a gold Ishukone logo and gold stripes fading to dark metal.
EDIT: I like the Rhea non-standard Ishukone skin, but it looks a bit too much like Lai Dai's skin. DUST 514 Recruit Code - https://dust514.com/recruit/zluCyb/

So if my initial observations are correct it seems we have the following skins for Caldari stations.
Caldari Navy - Caldari Navy, Minedrill, Spaceline Patrol Caldari State (Black with Gold Logo) - Caldari Business Tribunal, Caldari Funds Unlimited, State Protectorate, State War Acadamy, State and Region Bank. CBD Corporation - CBD Corporation, CBD Sell Division, Poksu Mineral Group, Rapid Assembly. Hyasyoda Corporation - Caldari Provisions, Corporate Police Force, Hyasyoda. Ishukone Corporation - Caldari Steel, Ishukone, Ishukone Watch, Propel Dynamics. Kaalakiota Corporation - Echelon Entertainment, Homeguard, Kaalakiota, Ytiri. Lai Dai Corporation - Lai Dai, Lai Dai Protection Service. Nugoeihuvi Corporation - Expert Distribution, Expert Housing, Mercantile Club, Modern Finances, Nugoeihuvi. Sukuuvestaa Corporation - Perkone, Sukuuvestaa. Wiyrkomi Corporation - Caldari Constructions, Chief Executive Panel, Wyirkomi, Wyirkomi Peace Corps.
Old/Default - Deep Core Mining, House of Records, Peace and Order Unit, Prompt Delivery, School of Applied Knowledge, Science and Trade Institute, Top Down, Zero-G Research Firm,
Changes that I feel would be more lore fitting.
- The Chief Executive Panel stations really need to be unaffiliated skins, most likely the black/gold State ones.
- Internal Security could do with flying the NOH colours as they're that mega-corps police force.
- Peace and Order Unit could do with flying the SuVee colours as they're that mega-corps police force.
- Spaceline Patrol should be switched from Caldari Navy to CBD as they're that mega-corps police force.
- Minedrill while originally affiliate with the Caldari Navy doesn't really represent them any more, it might be better suited to have them use neutral stations keeping the Caldari Navy ones exclusively for the Navy.
- The following corporations have no major affiliations to mega-corporations and should probably be using the standard skin; Poksu Mineral Group, Rapid Assembly, Caldari Provisions, Caldari Steel, Propel Dynamics, Ytiri, Mercantile Club, Modern Finances, Perkone, Caldari Constructions.
For those interested in what the main Caldari stations look like please check the link HERE. Sorry for the darkness in some of them the preview lighting isn't very good.

This was a derp on my part, to make sure I don't look stupid again I have double checked each corporations in-game entry to make sure they're not obvious partners or subsidiaries, if you notice any mistakes please feel free to correct me. :) Lieutenant Turelus Caldari Independent Navy Reserve The Fourth District

CEP definitely shouldn't be in Wiyr skins. I'd recommend the generic, the black-and-gold Caldari State, or the Navy skins.
Also, Caldari Constructions-- wasn't that a KK subsidiary? Isn't that how Heth ended up being tapped for KK CEO? Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs. |

I was asking some friends that myself but it's been a long time since I read Empyrean Age and couldn't remember if they were just working with them or actual subsidiary.
I tried to do as best breakdown as I could but I'll admit I'm not the most versed in EVE lore (as hard as I try to be). I feel kind of bad I can't really comment on any errors there might be in regards to the other factions. Lieutenant Turelus Caldari Independent Navy Reserve The Fourth District

Doesn't look like they changed the Sansha stations sadly =/, but as far as the Khanid statiosn go they look fantastic. I can see them just fine. Why is the black on the Khanid station look 1000% better than the black on Khanid ships. Seems like the ships are borked. |

The station in Malkalen looks to be fully repaired, yet the one in Yulai is still as broken as ever.
I haven't even noticed any logos till I looked at one of the bigger minmatar stations. |

The biggest thing that jumps out of me here is that Carthum and Viziam stations use the default Amarr coloring scheme, but their ships use colors similar to Sarum and Ardishapur respectively. They also clearly have their own paint schemes; why are they not using them on their stations? Morwen Lagann CEO, Tyrathlion Interstellar |

Gallente President, Senate, and Supreme Court should all use Federal Issue skin, because they are the actual Federation government.
Bank of Luminaire and Federal Freight should use default OR other skin, because they are not part of the Federal administration. They are independent companies.

just an idea - don't know how difficult it would be (maybe its really easy you never know), maybe it would be possible to make stations change color if facwar sov changes. Or at least the banner gets crossed out or something similar. eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW |
