The new puke green is not only ugly, but to top it off the turrets now stick out like a sore thumb.
a. The Turrets main colour is still the regular Minmatar Brown (tm) so they don't blend with the new puke green hull.
a. Said puke green hull has greenish-yellow lights, while the brown turrets retain the orange lights of the original model.
So please, I beg of you; revert it back to it's classic "Minmatar Brown"-colour scheme. I just saved up the money to buy this Frigate before the patch hit and now I don't want to fly it anyymore.
Revert the changes.
Please.

At least it looks respectable enough.
The new Firetail is a joke.

I hate to break it to you, but the Firetail was colored green since forever. Crucible introduced the matte black finish, which IMO was a tad bit dull. |

Uhm, no? I purchased it quite literally just one day before the patch and it was the classic Minmatar brown/black with orange lights.

And the live, up to date, in-game render says otherwise.
That screenshot is extremely old, as evidenced by the lack of the new nebulas. Take a screenshot of the actual ship if you want to complain about how it looks.

How can I do that when they done gone and changed the model in game? Not like I went around taking screenshots of my Firetail because I anticipated that they would change it! I'm telling you, yesterday my Firetail looked like it does in the screenshot I provided, honest to Cthulhu.
Orange lights and classic Minmatar brown/black colour scheme. |

Ohh, I get your issue. However, I can confirm that the Firetail's color changed a long time ago, at the same time that they pushed the V3 update of all Caldari/Gallente ships. The Firetail turned black, and the Stiletto/Sabre/Rapier lost their white sheen for a dark grey and blue theme (Scimitar kept it for some reason I don't know), and Vagabond/Panther turned a brighter puke green from their old green/brown color.
I am a bit colorblind so some of those hues may be off, but the graphics change definitely happened, and I found it rather jarring at the time. I don't know why you only got it now, but it's been in here for a while.
Edit: btw, AMD Phenom X4 3.5 GHz processor, EVGA GTX 465 graphics, 8 GB DDR3 1600 RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Really? So the chance that they will at least make the turrets match the lights of the ship is that of a snowball's chance in a very hot place....
EDIT: Asked a friend of mine who started playing when I did, and he also got the "old" model when inspecting my ship. What's going on here? |

This will presumably happen when the ships get actually V3d. Right now the ship turret lights/textures are only determined by the race for Amarr and Minmatar ships. So, you get weird looking stuff like Amarr golden lasers on Sansha ships (instead of black lasers) or the weird color mismatch of T2 lasers on a Slicer, while if you put lasers on a Myrmidon or a Ferox they turn the right grayish color with white or blue lights. Same happens with minmatar ships, and it's jarring for those that don't match the "norm" where most turrets appear right at home.
So... eventually, when they're done V3ing Amarr and Minmatar ships the lights will match. But until then, no, not a chance.
No, I am not going to explain why I had lasers on a Ferox.

Petition it. That is really, really weird. Resource caches? Maybe try clearing your clients' caches.
Geez, now I sound like Eve support.

Awww chucks. That means that the Jaguar I'm training for will look funky as well, with it's bright green lights on the hull. Maybe I should train just Caldari and get rid of Turrets altogether, hah.
Any chance you know when it will be fixed? Or is it just Soon (TM)? |

Amarr V3 ships are rumored for Inferno. Minmatar ships will come after that supposedly.

Lame. Caldari ships don't even use Turrets, why did they get priority with this "fix"....  |

I vote for the black. The green is disappointing. |
