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.

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.

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.

For a short amount of time the Mega was a weird sort of burnt orange and charcoal color for a while before it went to TQ. The Kronos is close to being yellow/grey, but it's more of a crummy brass color. Not really gold, not really yellow. I guess it is also heavily dependent on the system's star color as well. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Navy Geddon = teh sex. I always liked the black and tan on the Navy Omen, looks good here too IMO.
Navy Mega and Domi: I'm not crazy about that camo pattern, makes the ships look like green space cows. Why do we need woodland camo in space again?
Vindi: no complaints
Scorp: muted splinter works there I think, not terrible
Rattlesnake: angular pattern and colors are ok
Phoon: BWAAAAHAHAHAHA this makes me feel less bad about the Gallente paint scheme. Looks like a giant baby puked up crayons all over it.

Can't really decide if I like it just from pictures, it has to be in space to really get the "feeling". But that doesn't stops me from making a comment now does it? 
Navy Geddon: Looks good. Navy Mega: That has to be a joke imo. Way to ruin a cool looking ship. Vindicator: Meh, its black, whatever. Navy Domi: Pattern looks better on domi, but still, wtfısthis****.jpeg Navy Scorp: Big meh. It would look better if Scorp had consistency over its texture res. Still, its pretty bland. Rattlesnake: Same as NScorp. Typhoon: Read Gallente Navy stuff above.

We should have seen this coming, hasn't the Navy Megathron in the store looked like this for awhile?
I don't understand why they need to have this pattern covering the ENTIRE ship, any pattern covering that large a surface would look hideous. Break it up with some bare panels in a dark metal colour and we have a winner, right now the patterns just look slapped on and don't even look like they are meant to be there!
Ships as valuable as these need to make people jealous, if I saw someone flying that megathron I'd just laugh at them. Don't even get me started on the typhoon, it just looks like the pilot hasn't had it washed in awhile.
Armageddon is hawt though.

considering the actual color is irrelevant in actual play (I mean these ships are not actually camoflaged just because the paint is spotty) they may as well use all sorts of dayglo or primairy colours.
OK so a navy ship probably would be battleship grey anyway cus its cheap - but the pirate ships could quite easily be painted in any random color combination that was cool, and would more than likely have some dodgy looking evil grafix on the hull somewhere (I know I would if it were my ship IRL)

Amaar should be - RED and GOLD
Caldari should be - BLUE and SILVER
Gallente should be - BLUE and BLACK or GREEN and BLACK. (I like it, what can I say?)
Imo, thats how it should be. For most ships of said factions.

Caldari is black, and red, as you can see from most missle ships. True, they have blue, but black, and red is preferrable. I do believe aside from the Caracal (missile) being light, and Cormorant (turret) being dark Caldai does split into dark missles, and light turret ships.

Edited by: Saint Kristi on 17/09/2009 22:25:23 I agree with everyone... CCP why can't you just have the Navy ships be black like they used to be - they looked great and everyone loved them!
If you want to encourage your players to say do things like FW... missions... and PLAY - design ships that they like to look at! Not ones only your art dept seems to like. I mean come on, the camo look is hideous and doesn't make a lick of sense in space.
The only ship I would even consider flying of these is the Navy Armageddon - good job on that one.
I already gave up on the Navy Raven when it lost it's black color, now I'm going to have to give up on other ships I would otherwise love to fly...
Please get rid of the camo CCP!!!
P.S. If you absolutely have to camo some ships at least leave them in the realm of Caldari, the military race. Leave the camo out of Gallente, Mini, Amarr ships at least, for the love of god!

Anyone remember old classic Vexor, the mix of metallic and organic? They had to vomit camo over it. I guess brass and mahagony lacks the class of china toy camo.
And now Mega. Oh well and Dominix and Phoon but some things never get better.
Also, while Geddon scheme looks good as a pride of a golden fleet... except the poor guys ran out of gold for their very own flagships. Scorpion loks fine... very in tune with the rest of minmatar ships.
TBH as I am getting cynical and with T3 and with the above mentioned vomited over Vexor I gave up on the visual side of EvE. T3 is classic example of lot of work that got nowhere due to lack of inspiration and this is just another step down. Meh, just ranting, I really hardly care any more.
Thanks for pictures.

Pretty much stopped caring when it came to the art department for eve ship textures long ago.
Caldari's have always been hideous, especially Lai Dai's puke camo treatment.
Gallente now getting the same treatment for most of their ships, moar ugly camouflage.
Plus the Amarr navy ships somehow end up a million miles from resembling something golden by becoming black.
The thing is, even though camouflage is a dumb concept in space, they could just about pull it off if they used a reasonably nice style to do it with.
Heck they just about pulled off a reasonable looking camo ship with the navy raven.
Instead though most the ships end up looking like they've been paintballed by fluorescant ammo or they ran over a Predator alien.

Back on topic...
Can we have some serious suggestions as to what the color schemes should be?
I think the Navy Mega would look even better if it were gloss black on gloss black, the Dominix would look fine with gloss black/dark flat charcoal grey, I think the Rattlesnake needs to be a higher contrast black/white 'dazzle' style camo color while the Navy Scorp would look good in a dark blue on blue tigerstripe camo.
I think all the Minmatar Fleet ships should get a very dark burnt orange base color (read: super dark brown with an orange tint to it) and then some dark grey/black camo patterns over that.
The Navy Geddon would look great just all black, but barring that, if it were something like 50% gloss black in spots and then 50% bright chrome it would look really good as well. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

^Hues of Dark Steel grey with lightened steel tones for certain parts are Gallente Navy tones IMO, the usual Navy Mega/Fed Mega, they look the best, this current stuff looks utter *******s.

you guys know there ARE threads about this in the test server feed back section, right?
Hollering in here about it will likely get us nowhere.
I read the forums assuming there are no trolls, only really stupid people.

Oh my GOD WHAT have they done to the Megathron Navy Issue? Jesus.
CAMOUFLAGE IN SPACE DOES NOT WORK. THE BACKGROUND IS BLACK, NOT DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREEN.

Black on Black on Black on Black on.... for the Navy Mega.
If that isn't an option then change the colors of the camo prints to something more effective for space, navy blues with greys or blacks and greys (Urban Camo) as the would blend in better with the native/caldari space background and do a better job of breaking up the shape of the ship. As it is now Jungle Camo just makes the ships stand out like a sore thumb. Make the camo, whatever the color, assymetrical particularly on the Navy Domi.
Give us the blood splatters back on the Blood Raider ships.
The Amarr lineup is meh, needs more gold but not hideous to look at.

Originally by: Bellum Eternus Back on topic... Can we have some serious suggestions as to what the color schemes should be?
Gallente - Keep it as they are, make the grey a bit more silvery if possible.
Amarr - Make them White and Gold. (If anyone says it, no the Apoc hull isn't gold, more of a beige, I mean a true gold for the navy version)
Caldari - Make them dark blue and silver
Minmatar - Change the camoflauge to something more like tribal warrior warpaint, use red and orange stripes etc...

Technically, camouflage in space does not work, so therefore it doesn't matter how you paint your ship and if Admiral Whatshisface happens to be a huge jungle-buff, then jungle-patterned ships it is!  ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

It looks like a doodle I used to make as a child. You know those ones where you draw random weapons/vehicles fighting, but you're too young, so you lack any sense of aesthetics and draw a camo on everything.

Edited by: Ezekiel Sulastin on 18/09/2009 19:14:36 Just give the Navy Mega back its black and white skin, then give the Navy Domi, Vexor, and Exequror similar treatments (or give the Navy Vex its black and gold treatment from Classic GFX - especially when it color-changed in different systems) :)
This isn't the first time Lazy Artist Syndrome has kicked in with the camo - look at the engines of the Eagle and Falcon, or the front end of the Navy Exeq. The difference this time is that there is no asymmetric element of the Dominix at all - if you're going to be lazy, you had better make sure you can AFFORD to be lazy.
What makes the mirrorcamo really funny is that the Vexor and Diemost's camo is actually done properly. They cared at one point ... ----

Originally by: Valeronx I like the new schemes. Nothing says "Navy Issue" like a Woodland pattern camo paint job.
  deep breath  
too right too right, i do believe that actual "Navy" Camo is a variation of 2 blue hues and white
I honestly cant see why they couldent have spent some time thinking why do we need more ships with camo on em. P.S. Even the Camo job looks like a paint by number ________

Please please please give us back the old Navy Megathron design. I simply loved the black / white design.
The Navy Dominix looks fake / ugly too with that woodland skin =/
Is it me or does those ships actually ask to be blown to pieces?

ITT a whole lot of people complaining about ships they will never own or, for that matter, will likely never see in the game.
I actually own a Vindicator, Navy Gedden, Navy Mega and a Navy Domi.
And I can tell you that the screen shots don't do them justice.
Granted, forest green seems like an unlikely camo for a space game. But think about it for a sec. The proper camo should be flat black with the odd white speck on it. Do you really think that if that was done the whine fest would be any less than it is now?
No matter what CCP comes up with, you lot will find something about it to ***** about.

ITT: the OP owns at least one of every faction and navy BS in the game, as well as marauders and black ops. If anyone has a reason to complain, he does. Fail more.

Woodland camouflage schemes on interstellar spacecraft is puzzling. What lush treeline are these ships hiding in to make use of those paint jobs?
