His point is balance. If we can see non-paying players clearly but it's harder to see some custom skins, that stops being a purely cosmetic item and starts affecting gameplay, at least a little bit.

But I didn't see anyone using camo to hide themselves during the E3 footage.

I say no. But I also say that all the silly camo patterns should be in empire colors.

I think it would deter people from buying skins, honestly.

I also don't particularly care for the idea of paying to (partially) undo what people already paid for.

I mean, if people could get the "Loverator" fully skinned out without paying money, I could see it as a valid option, but people pay real money for that sort of gaudiness, and I think if they're willing to do that there shouldn't be an option to under-cut their efforts of looking fabulous, not even for money.

When my squadron of hot pink scythes devastates you I want you to know that you just got devastated by a squadron of hot pink scythes. I'd pay 20 bucks to make sure every poor bastard I kill knows who he died to before the killspam even shows up.

See, hot pink. Too silly. Empire colors for the silly stuff. Minimizes the break in immersion.

I feel like you should be able to paint empire specific vehicles any color you want (excluding other faction colors so if they were hacked they could revert to the owners faction colors). Not like anyone is gonna see a hot pink scythe and think "Hey that could be TR".

True, but it makes my palm hurt from my face hitting it constantly...

A cool customization for aircraft... pinup girls.

From what I gather the OP said,

He's going to be butt hurt by loverators and the elite zebra squads

I completely agree. I would like to see ES pinup girls and other neat stuff (like shark fins and mouths...).

The more customization, the better!

Sony wont go for it. They know if the madonnas cant strike a pose like they want to it will cost them members. Heaven forbid this would be a competition instead of a cat walk. Right said Fred?

Because someone who killed you with a flamboyant paint job did it with luck and someone who killed you with a vanilla paint job did it with skill amiright!?
