Two weeks ago I set all of my client background and window theme colors to cheery hues of blue. I've started catching myself thinking, "Eve is a very cheery game. In fact, it's getting more cheerful every day." However, the opening scenes of the client are still dull gray. In fact, there are a lot of things about Eve that could be modified to adapt better to players' styles.
Proposal Specifics
- Opening theme responds to client changes before logging in. Alternate color schemes configurable for the launcher.
- The planet centered at the login screen is a blue earthy looking planet fit for a barbecue and probably packed with pleasant Korean women who enjoy sunbathing, karaoke, and shochu. Twinkling stars on a glistening frosty ribbon of winter.
- The alternate color scheme can remain a low-key option to preserve the theme the devs are going for, but a radio button is added to the character creation system somewhere before the portrait creation that says "I am not a manic depressive." The other button will be pressed by default, but will not have a description listed necessarily.
- The character creation system will have an alternate pallet of non-freakish Matar and non-gothy Amarr options, but will be referenced to the regular counterparts for those to busy playing the game in the fast lane of the "down the highway, not across the road" mode. If you're on "cheery" you see the new options, and otherwise you see the counterparts from the existing abnormal system.
- The Gallante will have baseball caps, cigarettes, Puma logo gear, and will be able to psychically detect when someone is about to play anything Rakim and proceed to hit every beat and add good vibrations to the universe.
- Less relevant, but an alternate forums color scheme that automatically turns all orange tags to blue. No grey on every other post as black looks cleaner and less depressing.
Thank you for your time.
TL;DR
Proposing minor alternate options to play in a parallel universe with a proxy artistic scheme to cover up the dizasta caused by the closing of the Eve gate and subsequent loss of all contact with humanity. |

Yes, vote.
For a time, the Eve theme was interesting, but I enjoy life exceedingly and wish to savor the game for it's spaceships and other aspects of coolness as well as to savor it for being a fun game, not the dark and forboding universe of passive-aggressives like often made out to be in the promotional material.
Coolness requires no suspension of disbelief. Be a believer in coolness today. |

Please stop using blue. I can't read it.
