Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 02/12/2007 21:28:28 We are Gallente! \o/ For over 4 years now we have flown with the majestic and vivid green color to be our visual stimulation. Tech 2 ships have always been a proud green, whilst the tech 1 counterparts have often been spattered with highlights of blue and silver.
Now we have been converted to a puke metal, bluegray cyan slosh.
I implore the designers of our once beautiful spaceships to please make our ships a majestic green once more, instilling fear into the hearts of thousands. We will forever fly Gallente, forever proud!

Get over it its just a few colors, why dont you worry more about staying alive now that drones are supposedly useless. I dont like the way missiles hit the ship but do no damage because they're out of range but you dont hear me complaining.

Because we already have billions of other threads about that and care about the craptastic new look for the ships as well, similar to the bevy of caldari whines about their current ships.
Or are you just trolling?

My point was that its just a few bloody colors, theres no need to go mental and start screaming thing like "CCP change the colors because I dont like them and I think that its more important that the game looks pretty"
I mean really, one color? Your going to cry over one color? its like a child crying because he's missing the powder blue crayon.

I ever said "amen" to all game balances. This design has nothing to do with game balance.
I choosed gallente for a style. Now it is changed.
It is more than "just a color" it is all a dark feel of rusted steel that has vanished.
I really love the new caldari ships, but now i am struck with my SP in the gallente baby blue. Do you finally understand?!
That is why i am more than disgusted.
Why the hell ccp did that?!!! It is a major change and we have no explanation on the background or the art politics, nothing.
IMHO, ccp is lacking of communication !

Disgusted? It's nothing to be disgusted about. rapists, serial killers and child abductors are things to be disgusted about.

Actually I think this is one of the few games where the company actually speaks to any of its customers.
I understand what your saying but its nothing to make this much fuss about. If you need the color of your ship to make yourself more immersed in the game then theres a problem. Besides there's no change in the background for any other ship in the game, and what about when a ship gets a change to its slot layout? There's no update then. Amarr is supposedly one of the most powerfull races in the game (RP-wise), yet when you come to the forum all you hear about is how Amarr suck, this seems to be a major immersion problem.
Oh and I'm sorry buy I couldnt help but laugh when you said "a major change", a major change is the drone changes (which I also have no problem with by the way) or when a module/ship gets tinkered with.
I'm done.

The models in the "eye candy" pics and the ones in the "in game" pics are the same models, under very very different lighting conditions. Take those ships outside and they look pretty much like the trailer assuming you're in the right lighting.

I just dont get why CCP had to trick us with the trialer? "OH WTF NICE !!! BLACK GALLENTEAN SHIPS !!! OOOOOMFH SLASH ORGASM !"
Now when we go to sisi? We find out the serpentis got the nice ships and we are light blue? WTF a great disapointment when you thought you would look like a fleet of black aliens trying to own the whole bloody 'verse. It is indeed sad of CCP to show non-gallentean ships in that trailer.. really.

Referencing what was advertised and what was given is useless it happens everywhere like Mcdonalds, you ask for that nice thick burger thats packed with nice fresh ingredients and what you get is some soggy pieces of bread and some things that are best not mentioned in polite company.
Lets just get a quick idea of who likes it and who doesnt. If you like the new colors I'd like a simple yay or nay at the start of your post.

Showing that kind of ships in the public trailer is a problem if we canno find them ingame when trin lands. Nothing to discuss about that.

When I look at almost all screenshots I don't see many effects in use, may it be that most effecs on the ships are not used on current sisi version? I will atleast wait and see what will happen to my loved Domi untile the 5th. Complain about the strange blue tint, yes do that, it makes sense... well not realy, not untile the engine is fully out on display, then I will join to, but I give CCP a shot first to show it as it should, CCP don't cute things up they make things cool and hard looking but not cute...

You know, I don't care for the baby blue either. Being a graphic designer, they do look nice, but I think they project the wrong attitude. A dark green would have gone over alot better!
Also, however, the colors seem to be the same in the trailer. Look closely. Plus, these may not be the final releases, CCP could be holding back until the 5th? I hope they are though!

IT IS NOT BLACK IS IT?
Seriously the ships look like they got slapped around by a phong shader and CCP never looked back. I am disgusted by the "matte" color that the ships exude and they do not have any real depth. The HDR shininess that is given off looks like the ship is covered in lube. In order for shininess to WORK, you have to have an incredibly METALLIC color underneath.
Metal that is lit should be BRIGHT COLORED, while metal that is not should NOT BE LIT. Look at a picture of Saturn, for instance. The rings on the unlit side of the planet are completely shadowed 100%, because there is no nearby light source to give enough light to make up. Granted this is a game and that would be awfully diffiuclt to render in realtime, but you can approximate it by making the colors of the ships darker themselves. And the baby blue/metal slosh is just icky.
CCP, YOU need to make the ships have DEPTH. Not look like painted pieces of paper. _________________ Burn. |

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: the blue doesn't look so bad when there's a lot more black on the surrounding hull. The blue still stinks, but I think any light color on that highlight is a mistake. Also, simply changing the blue to something else doesn't really solve the problem of too little variety in the look of the ships' hull colors.
The thing that bothers me about this little Gallente color issue isn't so much the poor choice for the universal highlight color, but rather that more work wasn't put into making the ships more unique. I'm guessing it took less time to do them the way they are. Considering this patch is largely considered a graphics upgrade, despite all the other work that went into it, it's a shame the Gallente ships didn't come out looking a bit more menacing.

Edited by: Vrenth on 03/12/2007 07:27:24 OMG. THE NEW COLOR IS GALLENTE GREEN. Did you not hear the man say "We remodeled our ships to get closer to our dream. We remodeled and retextured them to look more like our original concept art."
This color is not blue, its turqouise.. if you actually undock/change systems, you'll notice the color looks almost EXACTLY like the old green gallente lights. It is a very dark teal color. The "bluest" of the ships seen in the hangers is the thanatos. LOOK at the thanatos with non-omni lighting outside of a station...

Old models were darker. I'm specially affected by the change in the Thorax ... from a black-silver sport cruiser ... to an almost uniform pale color.
Thanatos also were dark and with its eerie green lights. Now is far less fearsome.

Ok...

The only gallante ship that I've been able to test out that I liked the look of was, oddly, the navitas. I think this is because the metal of the surrounding ship was much darker and complimented the blue nicely. However, I seriously think that either CCP needs to give us colour options on our ships or actually listen to us when we say that this new gallante colour scheme is just hideous and either change it back or change it to something which looks relatively decent. We miss our old colours, when we had a little variety.

CCP did a nice job redoing the models and details, only to completely drop the ball when texturing them. I only hope these are placeholder graphics and they haven't finalized them, otherwise gfg...
They new colors make me feel like I should be handing out blue or pink cigars if it's a boy or a girl...

Im curious, why are not all races being equally victimised with this new high vis; know your race color lameness
not seeing huge panels of red on the minmi ships...
no big swathes of blue on the caldari vessels...
amarr does have yellow/gold.. but then thats what theyve always had, and id be seriously worried if they werent yellow/gold.
why the design change? and isnt this light blue a little too close to the caldari blue anyway.. what ARE you thinking CCP Art Dept? is it a case of too many cooks spoil the broth?
send that french designer dude we saw in the fanfest vids down here.. let him answer for his sins against his virtual internet spaceship descendants

Personally I cant stand the baby blue, you might aswell stick a dummy in the front of every gallente ship and name it "wah! wah! wah! wah!". If the gallente ships are going to look this bad i'd rather have the colour schemes from the old graphics, at least I would retain some dignity in my megathron.

Well, im was in the forums before ... and not that much attention was given by the company. Anyway, thank you for the generic colorsheme, thank you for your generic answer...
So you added to the petition queue with a pointless petition about the colours of ships on Sisi... Congrats, that's probably the dumbest thing seen round here for the last year or so...

Originally by: Vrenth Edited by: Vrenth on 03/12/2007 07:27:24 OMG. THE NEW COLOR IS GALLENTE GREEN. Did you not hear the man say "We remodeled our ships to get closer to our dream. We remodeled and retextured them to look more like our original concept art."
This color is not blue, its turqouise.. if you actually undock/change systems, you'll notice the color looks almost EXACTLY like the old green gallente lights. It is a very dark teal color. The "bluest" of the ships seen in the hangers is the thanatos. LOOK at the thanatos with non-omni lighting outside of a station...
Thanatos NOT BLUE
Yeah, that almost looks green, except it's in the shadows, and you're in a rather yellow-lit system. Yellow + blue = green. So, Gallente pilots must fly in those yellow light systems if they want green ships. If you want pink ships, fly in the red light systems.
Amarr and Caldari ships look pretty good to me in any light. I haven't seen the Minmatar ships in space, so I can't comment. However, the art department dropped the ball on the Gallente ships, and it should be addressed in some way.
Ideally, we'd all have the ability to customize our ship colors, but barring that, the Gallente scheme really needs to be improved. Then again, maybe CCP just wants even more Caldari ships out there.

eh? fighters are painted in 2 shades of grey not cyan/teal/babyblue. grey is harder to discern on a fast moving object in the sky.
bit offtopic but if you wanted to achieve a similar camo effect in eve youd need a main base color of matt black, with secondary sections in a lighter more reflective material (that would reflect the local nebulae color). That should break up the recognisable outline of the ship. Oh and no blinky lights.

Just another good reason to leave my Myrms in the hangar...
This plastic blue is one of the worst childish colours around! 
It would take just a little less blue, some black and a hint of red to make it decent... or just revert to the old green, that was a really nice colour, it looks like the ships were washed at VERY high temperature and put one month in the sun to dry.........  --- --- ---

Something wrong with your eyes? Lots of baby blue there, regardless of the color of paint that was used to paint on the camo.
The color of Eve's Trinity ships varies greatly depending on the ambient light, inside stations or in open space. ...

If this was directed at me, than I was merely pointing out that vigorously and offensively complaining about the color that's currently being used on some lethal instruments of war (among many things) and isn't even constant in the game (since Eve takes place throughout solar systems with suns of a great variety of spectral type) is ghey.

What i really want to know is why the changed the colors in the first place,i mean hell even if they didnt change the color and its the same as the old ones ... why would they leave it so but ugly? I did modding and such i know how easy it is to change colors ... take all of 5 mins per model to change out a few colors.

Hmmmm, I am looking at a Gallente shuttle now, and it looks more yellow than orange to my eyes, but whatever you want to call it, it's not blue OR clownfish orange and white. Let's hope they're playing with some of the other ships as well.

It occurs to me that the only color of the rainbow never yet represented on a Gallente ship is purple. Maybe that should be the new color: Tinkie Winkie purple. They can mount a purse to a high slot to complete the look.

I'm still just amazed they could actually make the Dominix look even worse, that takes some special talent. Yet I find the ships of other races now have cool dark metallic colors and overall look better.

I have two problems with the Gallente models right now.
The lack of diversity, they all have the SAME EXACT color scheme.
The uniform color scheme is that hideous pastel blue.
Even if CCP doesn't want to take the time to give every ship a little bit of individuality, at least change the crappy pastel blue to a darker more metallic blue. Not something that looks like it just came out of a freaking play dough can. ---------------------------------

Well it's obvious from the multiple threads that the vast majority want a color change. You can't spend years getting to know every inch of your ships and then have them swapped out for anything other than a major improvement. This is no major improvement. Hell I'm a caldari character but I have always liked Gallente ships and I fly quite a few of them. Please for the love of the Eve Gods and all things holy... Please be merciful and bring back the green.
Actually it makes me wonder if this isn't all part of the "Balancing" where the Amarr get glossy golden sexiness, and the Gallente get the powder blue nerfbat of doom...

Sorry to hear that you feel stupid.
You seem to fail to realize that the 3 warplane examples you put in has colors designed to blend in with the sky itself and for your information I did a Google Search for "Fighter Jet" and the majority of the pictures all have gray coloring.
It's quite clear (as shown by the majority of players' comments across the forum) that the baby blue colors does not blend well at all with the space background (while the navy mega and the faction mega both have colors that blends nicely with the hostile EVE gaming space while still carrying the Gallente name and pride in colors).

It's quite clear that the "majority of players" you refer to are a small but vocal minority consisting of you and a bunch of alts. Care to prove me wrong?
While some of those complaining about the color bring up legitimate though subjective issues of taste, most seem to be insecure in that this new color will somehow dredge up some latent urges in their psyche that they've been repressing. Whatever it is you do with it - repress or embrace, it's a bad idea to bring it out on a public forum.

devs are selfish, they keep the gigerish green for their I-dunno-nerf-eidolon !!!
well
about giger.
To tell the trush, i loved gallente ship because they are like biomechanical devils. The art of giger is about a "symbolic" view of modernity (feminism, free sex, hypocrisy and so on). I can't elaborate my ideas cuz my english is limited ... But every one who knows symbols will get the idea.
I tought that the old brutix fit in a brillant way with the gallente background.
The gallente are THE "just before doom race" ! They are sexualy subversive (pleasure hub advertising ^^) They are big hypocrites (blah blah freedom matars and bomb the homeworld of caldas) They are for "freedom" and liberalism (i don't judge.)
All this themes are in the biomechanical art, where giger incarnate the god of this art. And brutix, the old, were the pictural incarnation of the dark side of the gallente...
Sorry for the poor english.

I was seriously expecting the Dominix to be a menacing black color with very devilishly lit blue lights with green highlights in very sparse locations.
Menacing. The Dominix. That's the way it should be... now it looks like an inflatable balloon. I was also expecting them to lengthen it a bit instead and make it more "sleek". Imagine chopping off the top and bottom, turning the whole thing black with a bit of blue and green, and lighting it.

Edited by: Frances''s Flittchen on 06/12/2007 02:06:42 i was hoping the new gallente colour is a joke... but it wasnt. this baby blue on EVERY single T1 ship is so boring to look at. where is the variety? where has for example the beautiful black of the imicus gone? every single ship looks exactly the same!
besides this there are some (mostly t2) ships which really look good:
Eos, Oneiros, Navythron (although more black could not harm), Deimos.
thats all (cant judge the kronos, havent seen yet)
