j/k 
Seriously, I don't think cammo belongs on spaceships. Space ships are not tracked visually, they are tracked via scanners and scanners are not fooled by paint 
It just doesn't belong and I can't understand why we are getting more. Obviously someone at CCP thinks it is cool, which it is not, but why do they have to subject us to this?
Go spray paint your car 
Cammo makes me not want to play, I enjoy the visual aspect, have the graphics maxed and have a nice computer, all that to see a paint job that can be done with a can of Rustoleum?.

Yay, another thread complaining about camo paint schemes on ships.
I will respond the same way I always do...
1. I kind of like the digital camo.
2. Paint schemes really don't matter...at all.
3. If you don't like camo...
a. Zoom out far enough to not see it.
b. Don't buy that ship.
Thank you. |

You're right, that's why the paint doesn't matter. So they paint it something they think looks cool, or intimidating, or reflects military culture.
Answered your own question there, genius.
EDIT: Should probably clarify that paint does in fact affect electro-optical scanners, but since only Amarr use them it's a moot point for overall EVE balance. |

I wonder how much paint they must go through, considering the size of some of these ships.. we're not talking trucks, planes, tanks or boats here.. we're talking some ships 4-8 miles long.. |

I think most ship design is about looks. in space there is no logical design limits. on the oceans you have designs that are simply better ships than others and sometimes they look cool(such as the Iowa Class Battleship.)

Dust 514 suggest ground combat still exist in the eve universe, cadpat tw coloring may at some point have been a dominating military symbol, like it currently is in real life. Even if it do not serves any practical purpose on space ships it may just be there for historical reasons, showing that the ship is a military ship.
With the nanotechnology available in the eve universe, it probably not harder to paint camouflage then any single color, and as you say yourself the color don't really matter, so why not use camouflage on military ships? |

What if... NANITES... made with SLEEPER TECH were planted by the JOVE in the paint to make camo jobs less susceptible to targeting systems.

People defending space camo are hilarious, it serves no other purpose than "easy texture to create and to hide imperfections in the ship design". There's no space-logic where camo would make sense, it's just lazy design.

Imagine you would order a real spaceship, out of a catalog ... because you are rich and spaceships now get sold it catalogs.
And they offer three versions, regular, "camouflage" or "hello kitty paintjob" which one would you order?
Also: Why does the space shuttle have an american flag on it and writing saying "United states of America" if only the US have a space shuttle.
Due to the unique shape it very unlikely it gets mistaken for something else if you are close enough to read it.
I think people just like to paint there spaceships |

Showed a friend EVE today, flew around my fleetpest for abit
First thing he asked was if I was going to hunt 'space leopards' in the 'space jungle', he thought the jungle camo would greatly help me blend in.
Then I showed him the serpentis/boundless paintjob and he just started laughing

No space logic?
*drags in the real world* *winces*
Why in the hell did I have to wear a bright freaking red white and blue patch on my "camouflage" real life uniform? And yes, we wore non desert camo in a desert- don't ask for freakin' logic. We outprocessed through the main post in Baghdad, and they even had people wearing bright orange road guard vests- don't get me started on stupidity......
Why do air force planes (from the time before we even had an air force) paint all sorts of designs on their noses/sides? We had the bombshell beauties, and others painted shark's teeth.
Yes, I want a bright pink BunBun painted on my Shiva Tank for ground combat- and I don't care who likes it! I want my camo in dark pink and purple for the background. There's your justification- cause I like camo, that's why!! |

I'm with your friend. EVE looks technically fantastic and continues to improve, but some of the artistic choices are just god awful/laughable and seem to get worse. I can't wait to get custom paintjobs on the ships, so I never have to look at another lazy ass designers camo paintjob atrocity ever again. |

Golden comment, this one. Made me
Anyway, the paint jobs are a matter of subjective taste. Personally, I think painting navy issues in camo as well as more exotic paint jobs for the exotic ships is really cool.
Best of all would be a paint shop like in the Need For Speed-series. I'd never leave my computer again (except maybe during DT to get food and take a p!ss). |

I do not disagree good Sir.
But for now, leave my Navy Domi as it is.
My original Domi is a poorly defined, indistinctly coloured, space blob.
Perhaps one day CCP will give the original Domi more detail and improve the colour contrast.

obviously gray camo doesn't work in space. maybe the out-of-place paint jobs are just their way of saying "we know the paint doesn't matter, so we had some fun with it. lol space camo!"
