As a ship could be any colour you like and it makes no difference, what makes forest camo a less intelligent choice than police lights?

Or flat grey?

Or splattered in pretty red stains?

Just sayin...


Also noticed when I searched that almost every anti-camo thread is locked, but they seem really popular and really tame.

Conspiracy?

This thread is mainly about why is camo so abundant in eve over flat grey or splattered in pretty red strains.

And why has CCP such urgency to paint camo on ships that weren't camo textured before (police comet for example or Vindicator (thankfully they changed it to black at the end))

Another one who has not served and made something up

Camo is awesome, especially the digital paint job I used to have on my old S-13 180SX.

Also, OP is dumb for being so cynical over something so trivial.

No, the shoulder patch (in the US) is the unit identifier, esp right side because that is the combat unit you serve with.

BDUs are all the same.

CCP fired all the lore people.

Actually this is incentive plan for Aurum based paint jobs. They will make your favorite PvP hull so damn ugly you'll gladly plex to get the dancing pink elephants painted over.

This would never happen, CCP still need them for PR.

This would happen in the RL world if suddenly we would have a functional space-armada - it would either take the markings of the Air Force or the Navy (somehow I have the feeling the Europeans will stick with Navy :P) while your "bad ass team of ultimate bad-asses"* will side with the Marines :P and keep the green uniform, not because it hides them in space but because "Hoorah!" .

Camo looks better than rust, which in my experience has been the main reason for spraying a vehicle with it.

So blame the Minmatar.

Solution: Add forests into space....

I agree, we need more space trees and space mountains. Maybe even add in some space shrubberies.

GǪand yet they will let you identify the unit and as such can gain historical significance. MCCUU Gëá DCU Gëá ACU Gëá NWU Gëá etc (and that's just for the last decade and a single nation GÇö add ODs to the list and you immediately introduce historical significance). Again, it's no different from any other marking in that regard.

Army isn't all there is in the US, it's simply the lowest common denominator.

I was in the 82nd, so I say BOO TO YOU, SIR!
