Thanks Dave for that confirmation. hehe, for those that didnt see it:

Confirmation of the above: Vanu colors are purple and a tealish-green. As Vanu gain in rank, their armor gets more of that tealish color. It actually looks pretty amazing. Very sea-shellish colors.

Er... What are the TR's colors again? Black and red, right?
So... wouldn't that just put the TR in the same perdiciment as the VS "were"? Or am I missing something?

Incompetent · 2002-12-03, 05:45 PM

I don't see what your getting at?

I think Zarp is suggesting that having black as one of their colors will make them more difficult to see, much as people were suggesting when the thought was that Vanu's second color was black.

Here is what I see as the difference: With Black & Red, black is the primary color and red is the secondary. Thus it is the newbies who will be mostly clad in black and the veterens will be mostly red.

If Vanu was Purple primary, black secondary, the situation would be reversed, and the elite would be wearing black and the newbies purple. But instead, they will mostly be wearing teal, which is theoretically less of an advantage than black.

Exactly. But it isn't necessarily "newbs" who will be clad in black; just the people who do not participate in getting a good amount of CEPs. Plus, wouldn't you want it the way it is for the TR? You may be commander and get sniped because you're wearing red - but your little squad wins the battle because of their inky-black duds. That's why I was just a little confused. And still am.

You also get markings for getting BEPs. You just get different markings than the ones that CEPs give you. They will both be of the secondary color.

So people who have not recieved many Experience Points (be they Battle or Command) would be the most Black/Blue/Purple.

There there Tobias...... At least teh Vanu don't have the pansy pinkish purple

Thanks Smoke for clearing that up for us (me).
Incompentant,
Use alittle more tack next time you post... that "jesus fucking christ" stuff just doesn't cut it. You may not have been singling me out.... but i sure felt like you were. If I pissed you off with comments then i'm sorry.... it has been one shitty week for me and maybe i should have posted differently.
/me apologizes to the community

Incompetent · 2002-12-04, 12:24 AM

sorry, but i just get annoyed when people ignore commonly known information, not to mention i haven't exactly had the greatest week ever either. (and i was yelling at tobias, he ignored 2 or 3 threads about color)

KoldFusion · 2002-12-04, 12:57 AM

the only reason i went ape about the color was b/c i had always thought it was teal..... it just caught me by suprise thats all.... but it was confirmed teal so i'll shut up now

Warborn · 2002-12-04, 01:15 AM

It wasn't clear on the old armor what the secondary colour was, but it's very obvious with the new armor. The dashes of teal should have been a dead giveaway.

Hamma · 2002-12-04, 07:07 AM

Thats what we are here for. To answer questions and discuss PS, no need to rip eachothers heads off over it. Save that till beta

/me waits for the Screenies of all the Officers..

Jinxmasta · 2002-12-04, 01:44 PM

I don't think they have any pics of TR or Vanu officers right now. The only empire's officers I have seen are the NC.
