bright pink? Can you imagine if a faction had pinkish colors like purple? People would be so angry. They'd never play as that faction I can tell you that.

Personally I'd like to see what bright pink for a TR or a VS vehicle looks like in forgelight. I bet it's v-v-f.

Big difference between bright pink and dark purple

dark purple is way less flashy and much more aesthetically pleasing!

Yeah, there's a difference between being firstly an eyesore and secondly completely worthless tactically and being a color that for whatever unspoken reason is generally associated with femininity.

I was wondering where that 3rd gun was going to be... kinda a let down, was hoping for it to be the main damage dealer for the lib but it seems to be just some sort of small turret.

big pilot gun, rear facing second weapon where the PS1 ball turret was and a camera controlled gun under the tail (seeing as there is an engine/exhaust lump above the rear wings i'm guessing all the tertiary/support guns are underslung).

Judas Goat: (From wikipedia)

The phrase was also used in World War II by the 8th Air Force, U.S. Army Air Forces B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator crew members. Each bomb group employed a war-weary bomber known as a formation, lead, or assembly ship. These aircraft were brightly painted and decorated with individual psychedelic colors in stripes, checkers, or polka dots, enabling easy recognition by their flock of bombers to form up from various airbases over England and fly strategic bombing missions over Europe"

But personally I'm going to buy a camo set for day/night, sunrise/sunset for each cont no matter what it looks like.

New tactic born. Become an extremely skilled pilot, and create a diversion by having a really ugly paintjob

The more variety the better. Gives outfits the chance to "color up" together

Small turret, big gun.

Are you referring to the ball turret, or that 3rd gun on the tail?

Umm reading through everything I kinda wanna put in my two cents ^^;

On the customization, I agree as long as it doesn't go TOO far, then its fine. Like I actually don't care about the colour's. People can make their personalized stuff, and heck you could have a bunch of people form their own sub faction and they all use the same skins. I think thats pretty awesome.

But on the zebra skin specifically, from what I saw from the first video, these aircraft are going to be flying pretty high up far away from ground units and when they are close to ground they are moving fast. I think IN GAME people aren't gonna be able to notice the hearts on the lib's windshield unless they are specifically looking our for it. And like imo...if I am on the ground, sitting in a AA turret, I am not gonna pay attention to that enemy lib's paint job, they are gonna be pretty far away, and my minds gonna be going "blow that thing out of the sky before you get your ass blown away" rather than "ewww its zebra, thats like so ruining my gaming experience"

The lib is lookin sexy.

Dreamcast · 2012-05-24, 03:01 AM

The customization seems to be pretty drastic...This is exactly what the game needs, drastically different looking skins so people will buy.

Ok so get rid of the hearts and ll the other silly icons on the cockpit window, just keep the different tint. And make it so that the Empire colors are visible even with camo on. With that zebra camo completely covering the entire thing I wouldn't be able to tell whether it's a TR or an NC vehicles. Same goes for armor camo. Otherwise I love the zebra camo, just make the empire colors more visible.
