- .. No, no, belay that sir, it was just a large group of giant boogers.

At least, considering it's used by Gallente navy, they should have made it pink and baby blue camo, not green.

This might be more useful.

But please get rid of the JUNGLE CAMO

They both make equal amounts of sense, so why I don't quite see why one would be preferable over the other.

Because the dumbass who thought jungle camo in a space game needs to be taken out of a decision making position.

To disorient or to made it difficult for the enemy to estimate its type, size, speed might just be useful in space

GǪwhich still doesn't explain why it is any less dumbass:y than any other paint scheme in the game (except maybe the Primae).

Whatever the technical skills of EVE's art team, the art director sucks at art.

Care to show us your art portfolio? What have you accomplished?

One of the biggest points about art is that it's subjective. What you see as utter **** and terrible art, others (like me) see as flavorful, interesting, and fun. If we were going for realism, all the ships would be boring, including your precious Police Comet. Those flashing red and blue police lights are just as pointless as the camouflage.

Jungle camo in space is still stupid.

So are you, but you don't see me creating forum threads to whine about it.

I smell a caldari pilot. May all your ships be reskinned to look as hideous as the Gallente ones. And may god have mercy on your soul.

Do you want logic, or just that it looks like sh!t?

From a logical standpoint saying "oh, it's jungle cammo because they had jungles" is dumb.

Or a jungle cammo F-16.

In militaries they use cammo because it's functional for hiding behind bushes.

Never start a sentence with 'and'.

Why not? And I like cake.

It really doesn't matter.

Keep the space camo, it makes ships a bit less boring to look at compared to their standard T1 counterparts. I honestly don't get why you people complain over this. It really doesn't matter.

They look fine to me. I think the problem for you greedy people is just that Gallente looks horrible in general.

no they don't, gallente has some of the best looking ships in the game and is second only to amarr when it comes to best looking ships overall.

Okay you know what navy skins SHOULD be?

They also have some of the most poorly textured ships in the game - have you seen the Hyperion or Vexor lately?

Looks like **** is a better argument, since any logic based on functionality fails automatically.
No, from a logical standpoint, saying GÇ£oh, it's jungle camo because they had junglesGÇ¥ makes sense because as we move into space and start using sensors to detect ships instantly over distances that are measured in light-minutes, the colour scheme no longer matters, so you can pick any colour you like.

As such, it's not particularly far-fetched that colouration would revert to being used as heraldry rather than to serve as a (completely futile) method of trying to stay hidden. This means looking different is more important than looking good (and definitely more important than the utterly irrelevant GÇ£looking functionalGÇ¥).
Perhaps not the F-16, but that's just because it never ventured close enough to the ground to warrant it. You'll have no trouble finding dedicated CAS or terrain-hugging aircraft that featured various types of forest camo patterns.
In the military, as everywhere else, they use colour to serve a number of purposes GÇö conveying ancestry, historical reminiscence, tradition, standing out as different from other forces, and any number of other symbolical functions are among those purposes. Why do you think red berets are so popular in the contemporary military, for instance? If detection due to colour was no longer an issue (because, let's say, people are detecting you using space-sensors from two billion kilometres away no matter what you wear) don't you think those guys would wear their red berets at all times?

It's not a matter of taste.

Of course it is.

There ain't no stealth in space.

Only if you assume there are people who like to taste sh!t.

right. AFK cloaker are only in our imagination.

Jeez I can't believe people are talking about this as a sim aspect - it doesn't matter what the **** colour you paint a spaceship anyway, so why not paint it camo? (And also Barbie pink if you want - hopefully we'll be able to at some point )

Dear Father Grigory,

Please be adviced that "camo" is not a good way to communicate a "space navy" identity.

The reasons are obvious. Insert 500,000 words of random citation of relevant whinings here.

Please, if CCP is heading toward the direction of fixing all the old outdated wrong inappropriate stuff, please STOP making space camos.

Concerned pod pilot who is hiding in the spacebush

The Lach also got the camo job :-(

Every ship in the game. EVERY FRIKKIN SHIP I say, should be immediately painted flat black. That's as real as it gets.

Boring as hell, but it's what you people want, isn't it?

Be careful what you wish for, folks. You might not like it when you get it.

Mr Epeen

Boring is preferable to fugly. Most of us don't care whether or not the skin would be useful. What this thread is really about is the fact that the camouflage is the ugly, bad, stupid etc etc and we don't want it. Since camouflage doesn't work anyway we would rather have some nice skin, like the orange one seen on some gallente NPC ships.
