This is to the Dev team that handles colors and appearances regarding the dropsuits. This is a very important topic here since I invested AURUM into the suits in question. For the sake of reducing any confusion in this thread, the topic of this thread will only focus on two old suits that existed during closed beta but were later removed just before we migrated from the Singularity Test server to the Tranquility Live server. There were also AUR items which were consumable but I still have them in my inventory as a collection.
The Gallente 'Kindred' Scout Gk.0.
and
The Gallente 'Solstice' Scout Gk.0.
The 'Kindred' Scout had a very amazing color scheme going on. Here is a picture of the Kindred Scout in all its glory. This was back then. A very sexy red and white look that was very distinct and invoked a certain amount of power for some reason while wearing it. But now? Now it's just a dull standard-issue blue and white. Who was the person who decided to change that and why? What possible logic was there in changing this? This is my collectible item after all. I didn't buy it because it was an AUR consumable. I bought it because it looked AWESOME and sexy at the same time regardless if it's a male or female avatar wearing it. This was the color scheme that brought Sexy Back and now Sexy is gone. Do I have to call in Justin Timberlake to bring it back again?
The 'Solstice' Scout had a very unique color scheme to it. A very regal look. A soft-golden look on its plates with either white or golden-brown fibers in between the major plates. It was a stunning suit to look at and blended very well in some maps. But unfortunately, I am unable to find any image to show you what it looked it. On top of that, just like the 'Kindred', this one now has the standard-issue blue and white color which was NOT regal and is NOT stunning to look at. Keep in mind that this was the one suit that made me feel as if I am prepared to sacrifice some poor knife victim to the Mayan gods. Now? Now it's just something I don't want to look at and the Mayan gods are not pleased. Again, who was it that changed this?
Now, I have a final question. Are you, CCP, going to bring back these colors?
And for those of you who will likely bring up the EULA, I know. I know that I made the agreement that CCP reserves the right to change the colors even though I paid for those suits. I'm not going to quit Dust at all over two suits here. It's just colors after all.
But anyways, I just want to know when these colors are coming back. I just like them better than the standard-issue blue and white they have now. And besides, we are talking about two suits here that are NO LONGER in the primary market. You can't find them anywhere else except in the possession of closed-beta veterans who were lucky enough to snatch them up before they got removed from the market. These are rare items. FAR more rare than the 'Quafe' suits we have. BTW, the 'Quafe' suits use to be pink and white.... like 'Hello Kitty' pink and white.

The original green 'Skinweave' suits? Yeah. That color helped the 'Skinweaves' stand out more than the current green we have now for them. The current green is just too muted or subdued to have anyone notice it at all. How can anyone who is a dedicated closed-beta vet make a proper fashion statement with this subdued green color if the look doesn't catch anyone's attention?

Honestly it shouldn't be too hard to reimplement the original colors from closed beta. Assuming CCP still has the original colors still tucked away somewhere on file on a backup flash drive or something, all they need to do is just quickly overwrite the current base texture file with the old color. If 1.8 is already content locked then I hope to see it in the following major update.

I just did a review of my inventory.
Turns out I don't have the 'Solstice' scout suit and I just remembered that I recklessly burned through that stock a long time ago back in closed beta. However I still have 1 unit of the 'Kindred' Scout G/1-Series but it just looks like the regular ADV Scout G/1-Series suit with its blue and white colors. Lame.

One last final bump. Hopefully there is still enough time to fix this in 1.8 assuming it's not already content locked.
