Quote:In the above image the Wyvern has the Ishukone SKIN applied but doesn't get the gold to black fade that is a signature feature of the Ishukone SKIN.
Well, you write that, but the new Rhea has seen any form of fade removed in Carnyx, so...

You are worried about skinned T1 ships looking too much like T2 ships. I'd go even further down the road and rollback any skin that is from a T2 manufacturer.
There is an infinite combinaison of colors out there, no need to put T2 colors on T1 hulls, even if there isn't a corresponding T2 hull/manufacturer combo. I.E the Lai Dai Moa.
Just use more designer SKINs if you are running short of non-T2 manufacturer colors.

The gold stripes on the Rhea fade to black across the width of the ship in Medium and High shader settings. In Low shader settings, the gold stripes are absent, however. Are you set to Low shader settings?
Fair enough, some fade remain but its like tiny tiny stripes, less than 2% of the ship's area, come on! It barely counts. 
My point is, not all ships from the same manufacturers have to look exactly the same, because not all patterns work on all ships. The Rhea lost its full-body gradient because I bet that CCP, like me, thought that it wasn't actually very good-looking on a JF.
But then you use the very argument of the absence of gradient as an eliminating factor in your devblog, with the Ishukone Wyvern example. That's inconsistency right there! To look cool the Wyvern wouldn't need a gradient, you could just swap the gold and black on it and tadaa, you got a superb Wyvern in no time!
