Come On Man!

You don't want to be owned by the Zebralators?

While not "empire colours" in zebra stripes, I really like the look of Matt's LA in these videos in the start: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3...side-2/731789?

I do not mind the patterns. But I think they take up way to much of the surface area.

If there is one thing I've learned, it's that taste is very subjective. What is ugly to one person, is kick ass to another. It's just a fact of life people need to deal with.

I would rather see a hello kitty face on the side of a tank than have it covered with pimp-camo. I don't care if some plane in real life does it, in the game it looks ridiculous.

There's your zebra camo, done for art, not practicality.

Talking of snow camo, here and here would seem more effective and appropriate for a futuristic war game.

Say what you want about the zebra camo, I like it. I'll be wearing it on Esamir, or whatever they decide to call the snowy continent.

Customizations should stick with empire main colors:

TR: red/black-grey
VS: mint/purple
NC: yellow/blue

Hopefully that zebra motif is just T-Ray trolling us, seeing how far they can go before people e-rage. I'm ready to e-rage now dude, stop this madness.

So why the hell are you so butthurt about this? Can they not have at least a LITTLE fun making their game? Give them room to have a little expression, for gods sake! People are so ungrateful..

In WW2 the SAS painted their jeeps pink for better camouflage in the desert, particularly at dusk and early dawn. They were nicknamed pink panthers

Yeah pink is a well known IRL camo. The point here is this is a F2P game and if you want to play such an awesome game you have to deal with either PAY TO WIN or 'silly' camo and asthetics. I know which one I want.

Maybe because it'd impact his enjoyment of the game? Some people actually try to immerse themselves into the game and there's no better way to detach people from that than to have jarring things that don't look like they belong.

Why must it be silly? Can't we have "cool" looking things? Instead of "zomg lolz dats hi-larious!", can't we have "OMG that's bad ASS!"? Things that make weapons/armour/vehicles look better instead of sillier?

Edit II: I mean, it's not like there's a lack of things they could put in the cash shop. Between the colour swaps, decals, headlight colours, "hood ornaments", model variants and such, there's plenty they could have without making people unable to take the game seriously.

Zebra skin can be useful to make your numbers look larger when predators are nearby in the wild.

He's academic - he cited his source guys.

They have to make their money some how....If people wanna buy a crappy skin then let them.

You seem to be missing the fact that their ridiculous appearance affects other peoples' experience of the game.

UNLESS there's an option to turn off seeing other people's skins, and you just see everyone with the default models. Then they could buy pink and green giraffe camo for all I care.
