Quote: * Q: Why having camouflage skins on navy battleships? o A: The black and white skin you were used to on the Megathron Navy Issue has never been the proper Gallente Navy version paintjob and this is why it was changed. As some of you guessed, the correct one was already used on the EVE store Megathron Navy miniature. We are deeply sorry you may not like the new skins, however this unfortunately remains a matter of taste. But if you ask me, my preference would be that dreadnoughts in siege mode should transform into huge space robots with vacuum cleaners.
I feel that a lot of the new faction skins look lazily done and could have been done better/differently but I suppose I can live with it; but there's something about this answer which really irks me.
Saying "it's a matter of taste" doesn't really cut it in this situation. The taste that matters is that of your paying customers. I couldn't care less if your art department love the green camouflage, if enough of your player base dislikes it to warrant responding to them in an FAQ then you should consider that it needs changing.

Originally by: Abrazzar Well, played a bit around with photoshop and made a reoloring how I think camouflage could be added without destroying the model's details:
Dominix in Camouflage, Umbra and yellowish lights.
Like this, it has some structure and doesn't just look like lettuce in space.
Now that's almost precisely what I've been trying to say. Just break up the camo with some other colours, rather than just plaster the texture over the ENTIRE SHIP, and it looks VERY nice. Right now, the texturing is just lazy.
Good job!

Originally by: Caldor Mansi This is sad...
5 pages of whine about silly ship textue but absolutely no one minds the fact that the production of T2 ship require several POS, their defense and maintenance - ice harvesting, 0.0 ore mining and their refinement via simple and complex reactions, component construction, BPO invention and research, production skills and slots, on top of this there is a quite logistical effort to accomplish this tasks and all this is being replaced by couple hours of solo mission grind...
But yeah, cry for textures...
Sorry for giving feedback about faction ship changes in a thread about faction ship changes?

Originally by: Terranid Meester Personally Id rather have a Roden megathron since their shipyards have started popping up everywhere. People who moan for 5 pages about a texture ARE sad. You don't have to buy a ship if you don't like the way it looks.
What if I already have one? You'd moan for more than 5 pages if someone spray painted your car with green camo and you didn't get a say.
Besides, for me at least, it's less about the texture itself and more about how CCP basically just gave us the finger in that dev blog.
