First of all, WOW. Those are some seriously nice models in Trinity. I saw most of the Gallente and Caldari hulls, plus some Amarr, and I liked most of them.
Now, on to the Gallente in particular.
1. T1 universal color scheme gets old QUICK. That pastel blue is okay here and there, but every T1 Gallente ship I saw had the same coloring, and it was boring after the first few. I can understand not having time to make every ship's paint-job completely unique, but at least some variety would help. I mean, even the Obelisk looked much the same as any other Gallente T1. The Caldari and Amarr T1s didn't suffer as much from their universal schemes.
2. Green highlights on the Deimos and Navy Vexor look sickly. They are not the more pleasing green of the CreoDron T2s, but rather something putrid and vaguely unsettling. I would have expected these ships to have gold-based colors, a la the Taranis, Astarte, Viator, etc., all of which look quite nice. Again, originality is desirable, but if I had to choose between the Duvolle gold trim and this queasy green, I'd go with the gold.
3. The Exequror looks much more like a ship than its old colors and model. There are fewer curves, and the engines look like the thing is a hot-rod on steroids. Nicer overall, though again the lack of individuality is a shame. The Oneiros version is slick with the deep Roden Shipyards reds.
4. The Brutix, Astarte, and Eos are much improved, mainly due to increased detail and some nicer colors. They look a lot more stately to me now, and the "wings" at the back look less out of place than the originals.
5. The Eris's rotating top-mounted lamp was missing its skin. I saw a blue-green neon color instead.
As a footnote, my favorite ship of all the ones I had in my hangar was the Cruor blood raider frigate. The mottled red and silver paint and improved hull are fantastic. I also noticed the Ferox hull was made symmetrical, which I quite like (except the Nighthawk had a few too many contrasting colors for my taste, between the lights, engine flare, hull, and striping).
I guess I need to change my sig. The Astarte in it will look pathetic compared to the Trinity Premium edition.

That new Duvolle gold looks great on the Taranis, but I think that's because the Taranis is burnished gold & black, not bright gold & tan or whatever exactly they made the Arazu & Astarte. ------ Director, No Quarter "There is no problem that cannot be solved by the judicious application of violence." |

5 star to all the models but the color scheme...the pastel-blue look is STINKING bad, very very bad, It's almost a joke even. so bad is their are any protests sign me up!
only T2 or faction ships are barable to look at as they have alternate color scheme.
but omg the Sin and faction MegaT's look uber hard-ass /join Cheeze & Whine Club

I was going to cross train to Amarr after I maxed out my Astarte, but I am considering doing it early now. All the new Amarr frames I have seen look beautiful, and I am not a fan of the Astarte or the Ishar's new frames, and those are the ships I fly the most!
I had hoped with the redone models the t2 ships would be more than a color swap, but it seems I had hoped for too much. That flat green has got to go.

yes I have to say from the screens I am not very happy about the look of the Hyperion or the Myrmidon, or the other T1 Gallente textures for that matter. I was hoping that upon logging in I might be pleasantly suprised. The pastel powder blue says decorating for a new baby, not armor plated to kick your ass. Perhaps something a little more metalic would do us all some good. For some reason testosterone, violence, and shiny just go together.

The Gallente ships are hands down the *worst* of the bunch with the redesign, as a whole.
The Megathron looks spectacular. The powder blue Hyperion paint scheme looks terrible. The Dominix is just garbage.
The Arazu/Lachesis: OMG. HORRIBLE. Both the models and the color scheme. Just terrible.
The Vexor/Ishtar: the model went from a thin, knife edged shark fin effect to fat and portly. The front end is all rounded out and bulbous now. Looks like ass. Color schemes are pretty weak as well.
Ishkur/Enyo: the little 'add on' thrusters that denote their T2 status have been changed from some big burly looking thrusters to little pencile looking ones. Looks lousy. The nose probe also looks weak the way it was re-designed.
Astarte: the gold on it just looks terrible. It needs to be black/dark green. Not brown-green and gold.
The Minmatar ships look AMAZING. The Amarr ships have been subtly re-proportioned. They look GREAT! All these other ships get some re-work. The Mega was really worked over, and looks awesome. The rest of the stuff is really lacking. And the sad part is, it wouldn't have taken any more time to change it when it was re-done, as it all had to be done from almost scratch anyway.

the only Gallente ships i have a problem with the new change: Myrm. I liked the silver sleekness of the Myrm.
Hyperion, its darkness made you feel like a badass blasterboat, like the description says it is.
other than that, Domi look nice. the Mega looked better with the Greenish/silverish coloring, instead of the same pastel pig skin of the domi. but it still looks sweet.
overal, the Myrm and Hyperion i have a bit with. Mega isn't all that bad, just bad choice in base color.

I agree, the Gallente colors are horrid (except for the Navy Megathron or Faction megathron).
Even my dream ship, the Astarte looks less a command ship than ever before. The Astarte deserves to have a very commanding color that shows it's serious in doing it's business.

The models are awesome, but the gallente colors look sick, you're right.
The pastel blue is not as nice as was the one on the catalyst in old models. It's too... Pastel!
T2 ships are sometimes to grey/dark (dark pastel... pastel again?), we no more have the great flashy roden red, creodon green.
Still, it is an improvement to my rusty incursus that is no more rusty! -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

Well, eventually we might end up with 199999 different opinions of how it should be better... because everyones taste is different.
Also, remember that certain settings (HDR on/off or detail of shadow and others like it) might get you a better (or worse ) result.

I agree the Gallente colours are a poor choice. The ship I was docked in, and thus the first to see was the Domi. My jaw dropped with disappointment. I thought you had been hiding the model from us because it was going to be a complete rework.
Alas no. Gallente ships now look like they've been pulled out of Tron and had the brightness removed.
I honestly feel this is a cynical effort to stop people playing Gallente. The 'nerf-gallente patch' just keeps getting worse for most of us. I really was hoping for some metallic deep navy/royal blues and blacks, but you gave us pastel. My little sister will love it.

Maybe Revelations 4 will have a color picker in the ship fitting screen. Then we can all be happy, at least with the ship we're flying.

I like them, and I like the way it unifies ship design from across the different classes.
And the look of the Kronos is beyond amazing.

The Dominix is far better then before, but this wasnŠt hard to do. I donŠt like the blue color too, but the idea of different color schemes for T2 ships is pretty nice.
I love the little "floral" details on some amarr ships (especially on the Punisher). Too bad, the designers "forgot" to change anything on the Abaddon. It looks fine, as it did before, but it could have been pimped a little bit.
Best looking premium ship ever: Minmatar Shuttle. Fantastic Tie-Fighter ripoff. CCP, could you make it a t2 frigate please? IŠd love to fly it in missions.
