Edited by: Kurogauna on 29/11/2007 10:50:22 Well, the problem is not the "cyan" ... The ships need to be DARKER, even in PLAIN LIGHT.
The high reflective CHROME (wtf?) looks too happy happy gizi gizi lalala ****in hello kittish
Assuming that colors is just a matter of code, not model, not textures, why can't we change the color ?

Nay.
I like the new Gallente colour scheme. I guess some people just wont be happy unless its matt black with dark red hex symbols, or whatever they need to make them feel scary.
The new colour scheme is in line with the race background too. If a Gallente designer has to create a battleship, they wouldnt be trying to make it look evil.

This farcical thread warms the*****les of my designers heart. Arguing about slight variations in colour is entirely subjective. The new colour is not "baby blue" or any other subjective adjective you choose to place in front of "blue" (and its not even blue, its cyan).
Why not be a little more precise in fact - call it "Baby" Pantone 320C. Want a more "manly" blue? it must be Pantone 548C.
If the new colour scheme offends so much perhaps you delicate little flowers ought to go into fashion design or play games like Barbie Horse adventures, where colour changes can be as radical as you! |

No need to go to another game now, just need to fly Gallente to get the Barbie Horse adventure visual experience. Now if only they added rainbow exhaust trails, that would seal the deal. I always theought the delicate flowers, longtime proponents of Baby Pantone 320 C, were the ones who worked in fashion design, don't think I want to switch to that field.
The Mega looks great, but that's about it.

Edited by: royce jones on 29/11/2007 12:17:57 wtf is with all this color choice whining with the gallente ships?
I logged into sisi last night and after the graphics upgrade installed i was blown away by the new gallente ships. Some may not be as good as people were expecting but on the whole they rock!
The domi at least doesn't look like the unholy union between a walrus and a beer barrel anymore.
The obelisk has always been a shockingly ugly ship in my subjective opinion -it's just that the giant space louse now has blue bits 
As for the megathron, i have fallen in love with it all over again -whatever your opinions of the gallente new graphics, that ship alone makes up for all shortcomings. 
And btw the color scheme of a ship doesn't determine how well it performs in a fight -it's the pilot flying it. If you don't like them, then train up a race's ship line who'se color scheme is more sympathetic to your chromatic tastes 
Not flaming anyone here at all, but seriously ppl, get a grip

Keep in mind, I have in no way, any problems with the ship's new graphical designs which I'm in glee with. But the color theme is what I have issues about and BravoFox said it the best in his own thoughts:
Quote: First, this is my main character. I have two accounts, both mains fly strictly Gallente Ships. I have seen screenshots of the new ships and I hate the "new blue". I don't even call it baby clue, I have a much worse phrase for it ISD wouldn't allow on the forums.
I have been all for Gallente since day one. I'm not a French advocate, I chose Intaki for both my characters and the Intaki description says nothing of descending from French ancestry.
Prior to Trinity, Gallente were very unique in the ship department and that's what I liked most about their ships. Caldari have their Star Wars-ish boxy grey designs, Amarr flash the golden shiny armor ships, Minmatar... well, to be nice, we all know what Matari ships look like ugh... However, Gallente ships were all different, they had all different colors. From the orange and white shuttle to the dark grey plated Incursus, from the puke green color of the Exequoror to the Silvery Myrmidon and back to the ugly brown boot color of the Dominix. Each Gallente ships was unique in itself. Now we're having a theme forced upon us. It's not a unique fleet of ships anymore and I may be just one voice, but I don't like it.
I'm not going to say that I will quite playing Eve or even that I will stop flying Gallente. I'm just saying that I'm a paying customer just like the other 200,000 of us and I don't like where the theme has gone.
(For those too lazy to find them on their own and need everything handed to them in a basket)...
Atron Brutix Catalyst (was always blue and I'm fine with that) Celestis Dominix Exequror Gallente Shuttle Hyperion Imicus Incursus Iteron Iteron Mk II Iteron Mk III Iteron Mk IV Iteron Mk V Megathron Moros Myrmidon Navitas Nyx Obelisk Thorax Tristan Vexor
Special Thanks Goes Out to Entrox, I linked the images from his site.
Again, it has nothing to do with the hull design of all the Gallente ships. It only has to do with the color choices (as seen in the links) that makes Gallente clash with the background it has always had in the past as stated by BravoFox.

I think everyone agrees the Mega looks great, please stop using it to counter the complaints, which are about other ships.

Actually, that combo sounds absolutely awesome, regardless of context. It isn't metro, that's for sure.
Light blue versions of My little pony mashed together with a background reflecting Ms Piggy sound less awesome.
That's it, I think I've spent all my whineforce for now. Time to leave these threads alone.

I'm a Gallente pilot, have been since I started playing.
I like the changes and the color schemes. For the following reasons :
The new colors give each race an individual identity. They give much more of a divide between the races when coupled with the models.
As well as that the faction and T2 ships now look more diverse and radical in comparison to their T1 counterparts, purely because of the massive color and model changes.
The new turrets look awesome, and the models imo are superbly put together.
There's nothing at all wrong with ANY of the new ships, all CCP have done is give each race an identity.
If you don't like it, play with the classic client and stop whinging tbh.

Change? NAY!
At first, I was kinda... disappointed by the colours. I have to agree I was hoping for a color that would describe my ships as mean wtfpwnmobile11!
Still, it does apply to Gallente history. It is the fleet, created to defend the systems - they don't have to look like they are deadly. They don't have to prove anything. This is the Gallente Navy, lower your shields.. 
They look uniform, they look standardised (not like they were created by an evil genius ) as a navy should look like.
For me - a job not perfect (hyperion could be better ), but decent. At least in most cases.
Thanks for making these ships look red, actually. If You CCP guys want to fly pink, go buy a pink volvo or something

Nay!
Most of the ships look great, very Naval feel to them now. Gal ships are supposed to be pretty and mean, works for me.
If you really want to make a petition then do one to change the Hyperion, now that does look washed out- Colours would probably be fine but it needs something to sharpen it up.

The colors need to be an ever so slightly darker blue or green imo.
The red color of the Minmatar works because it looks like rust. The gold of the Amarr works because they like to show their wealth and make everything gold. The Caldari are a military race so naturally everything is a simple grey metal.
The light pastel color of the Galente is in danger of making the ships look more like toys than actual space faring vesels.
My 2 cents...

Let me guess, you want them blood red instead?
I think they fit pretty well with the Gallente way of life. Casual, laid-back wine drinking artists and such not.
The colour reflects them perfectly IMO. Just like the dark red for Amarr, although, they kind of look like those 'Blood Raider' dudes now.
Caldari are a bit odd, kind of like orange and bright red bands, and Mini, well I dunno about them, haven't seen enough of their ships to comment. Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels and filesize of 24000 bytes -Valorem ([email protected]) |

If you want to keep the blue, thats fine by me. But the shade/hue of blue they chose does not represent the nature of Gallente. If it was in a deeper shade of blue/green, even if it's on all T1 ships, then it will be more in line of the Gallente's cultural backgrounds.
And again, the graphic changes for all ships is simply nice and well. But the baby blue/day care colors are making us players not able to fully admire the overall hull designs.
All CCP has to do is adjust the shade of baby blue into some more deeper hue'ed blue/green colors that Gallentes are so well known for.

And again, No. It is making a few players complain because in your eyes it doesn't fit with the Gallente image. However many others think it works well.
You asked for ayes and nays, let us make the choice and stop repeating the same argument when someone disagrees with you.

Want to know what is ironic about your post? All those that "likes" the color simply likes it for no good reasons (most of them are just too passive and find it easy to just like it since it's too much trouble to follow the Gallente background the way it has always been).
However, those of us that doesnt like it put out many valid thoughts and reasons and insights behind it.
Example: Another thread with alot more insights into the why baby blue fails for Gallente
Those that says Nay can go ahead and take the easy way out. Those of us whom blieves strongly, same as those that stands for Amarrs to be made stronger and more practical, will stand by our stance regarding the baby blue colors on the Gallente ships.

You managed to completely ignore the various posts with terms such as "velvet glove" then which explain why Gal ships should look this way.
How about the comments that revolve around a proud "navy feel"
Gallente are a proud race of artists, lovers and some less favourable "french" styled backgrounds. The new ship colours look romantic and subtle yet hide a force that is in most cases unbeatable within a PVP enviroment. I think that fits perfectly with the Velvet Glove.
Your just annoyed some people like it.

Edited by: OldWolfe on 29/11/2007 17:53:43 You also equally bypassed comments that said things such as "If they want to keep the blue, make the tone a little darker in the blue/green area to enchance the navy fleet feel" (paraphrased). That alone shows that I never once said it SHOULDNT be a velvet gloves. In fact, if CCP adjust the tone a bit, it will even ENCHANCE the feeling of being velvet gloves with an iron fist as well as the unity of being a fleet of Gallente ships.
But, seems like those nay-sayer people just bypass such reasoning and insights for what is in front of them only. If CCP sets in front of us players a simple cube and said "it's your spaceship from now on", wouldnt surprise me if the masses accepts it.
The purpose all of our thoughts, all of us whom are concerned about the colors, are to point out the need for improvement to make Gallente MORE Gallente in colors and appearance as well as enforce the Gallente's stylish background. The Baby Blue Cyan colors simply doesnt give any sense of Gallente styles to the majority of us that has voiced our concerns.

They just did... I see your one of those "if it isn't my opinion, it's wrong"
For the record, a cube ship would look awesome if it resembled the borg cube, however that's for another game.
Now in an effort to not turn into the same troll you have, ill leave you to your arguments, valid or not. I made my point quite clearly.

I think they were made baby blue because that it makes the metallic effects more obvoius than with the old colors.
Then again they made the opposite with Amarr when they changed our previous gold color to a brownish tan-color. The Sigil, a phantastic looking industrial ship, is looking great already, but dull in those Trinity screenshots I have seen, because of the color change.
Still time for CCP to make changes before Trinity goes live.

The difference between my points and your opinions are thus: You simply say you like it and be mild about it quite clearly.
I on other hand point out the clear inconsistency between the current baby blue colors with the nature of Gallente's "cultural" background. And quite frankly, I'm not the only one to notice such things. So if you look around alittle bit more harder, you will see there are people's valid thoughts and points about it.
If you wish to oppose mine and others thoughts and points, be sure to back it up with Gallente related points instead of acceptance based on your visual opinions. If flying a barbie blue colored ship floats your boat, then by all mean, keep at it. I for one, along with many, want to appeal and hope CCP sees the issues with the baby blue colors.

I have to say I liked the original colors better, but I won't judge the new ships until I see them flying on my own screen.
Speaking of new ships, could some link the new graphics engine Phobos? I have looked *everywhere* and I keep missing it.
