More Shiny, metallic dropsuits?
Is that all you guys have in mind when it comes to dropsuits?
I have enough LP to buy one of these with the Federal Marines and I was going to buy one when the Federal Marine Version came out but then I saw these suits were damn atrocious.
Quafe being shiney makes sense, it's quafe. But all these other suits? I shouldn't feel like somebody melted a bunch of legos and then poured the contents on my suit.
With all that being said. That's just my opinion, but when it comes to featuring these suits in FW. I can guarantee you that the large majority of hardecore FW players will not like these suits simply because of the immersion breaking, childlike, look of the suit. We don't even want a suit, just give us some skins to apply to the suits we have. (The Minmatar Shaman and Amarr Opus are actually fine with me and match the Factions but it's more Caldari and Gallente that have me bugged)
So, keep the suits in LP, take them out, idc. But when this fisher price suit collection rotation is done with can we get some serious looking suits. Especially for the Factions.... and not like the FW packs where they decided to go with any color that looked cool (although those colors are admittingly nice but when I'm rocking a Gallente Military suit, I'm expecting at least some green in there.)
tl;dr: -New suits look like children's toys -Being in LP store will not encourage most hardcore FW players into buying it because it's immersion breaking (and it's a crappy suit) -I recognize that not everybody will feel the same way about them -Why are nanite injectors Caldari Rattati -If there are going to be items like this in FW then they need to look the part.
Actually my major pissy point is just that everything is metallic...
Correction:
These suits have made Gallente FW more active. **** everything I just said besides getting more Faction colored suits and the Nanite Injector.
(and by active I mean at least it's not giving me 00:00 at 11:am like it usually does.)
Suits still look like fisher price toys though.

The funniest part? The "gold" on the Amarr Assault isn't even metallic or shiny at all. Looks like plastic.
I'm actually not a fan of the textures. You would imagine they would be a bit better done for a potential $30 purchase...

The gold trim is really off putting on the Gal Commando and Caldari Sentinel. When I have time tonight I'll dive into the market and find suit colors schemes I prefer.

It wasn't that long ago that we complained about Dropsuits having the wrong color schemes for over 6 months. Now that they have figured out how to get us new and different color schemes, we continue complaining about them. I love self entitled first world problems!

Sgt Kirk could you front and Image of the "Opus" Assault?
I would suggest that I have every Amarr Assault BPO that has existed, not to mention BPC and its variants.
I certainly would like a reference to compare against since I cannot log on at this time.

The suits look absolutely terrible. The notion that all races would color- coordinate depending on class is absolute tripe.
Throw me into the category that wants each racial suit colored in a manner that REPRESENTS THEIR RACE! after all, FW is all about race.
This was a chance to really bring out and focus on racial/faction aesthetic principles.
But no. Poorly thought out color schemes galore. Part of me wants to take snapshots of each suit type and whip out my Wacom tablet and make some art sowing how things should be done. I.e. no ugly color combos that look like a kindergartner drew up.

no colors, wrong colors, bright colors, muted colors, everything in EVE is drab and dull and brown/gray. There is no pleasing everyone.
We decided to go a litttle austentiatious and flamboyant with the APEX suits.
We already have Role colors, not because of New Eden lore, because we share Frames between two different Roles for both Heavies and Mediums. Breaking that would also create confusion.
The next batch of new BPO's will possibly be MLT/STD New Eden themed, so suggestions are welcome.
I personally think that every single one looks awesome and brings a much needed flavor to our sometimes monotone existence.

But why not simply take existing EVE Navy Faction Colour Schemes and apply those to Dust 514 suits?
Caldari Navy and Grey Digital, Gallente Double Green Woodlands, Minmatar Leopard Spots, Amarr Conventional Dress White and Black, with Neon Blue highlights......
Faction Appropriate, differs creatively from what we have currently, without looking gaudy and unrealistic.

Imagine some more 'serious' combat colour schemes taking inspiration from the above. I really didn't like the look of the APEX colours, but if you balance it out with some more lore-based artistic choices, I'll accept the 'yo dawg, I heard you like epilepsy inducing sartorial choices' suits.

That yellow and blue is pimpin. It makes me want to buy a pimp jacket and get some grills so when I get the gall scout i could meele the proto whores and they would have to pay me a cut of their winnings.

Since you have asked for it CCP Rattati I would like to suggest a run of Amarr BPO options
Themes are:
- Khanid Cyber Knight - Either Tan on Navy Blue - Ammatar Consulate Marine - Grey with Golden High Lights - Imperial Court Paladin - Deep Crimson with Gold Highlights
My personal Favourite (AKA would throw money at!):
Tash Murkon - Grey with Deep Ochre Orange
You probably have this already but Thematic Colour Schemes

I actually do love the shiny new suits (especially the black & gold min logi!) but those min skins you linked to are really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking and would look awesome in Dust, not to mention being much more tactical.
Damn.. dropships and tanks with those textures would be amazing

Brought this up with the art team while I was at Fanfest. It was a decision to implement familiarity in a game that... Well, didn't really need it. After a certain distance it's all just silhouettes and the color doesn't matter - be that reason for low LoD at long-distances or because it's too much of a pain-in-the-ass to ask what colors the player is sporting at 70+ meters.
Honestly, I'd prefer going with something a bit more practical and functional than "I'm Assault, so let me wear white to show everyone that I'm an Assault." It doesn't make much sense on a tactical level or on an aesthetic level. Did all of the races sit down and convene that they should color-code everything for fairness or something? Even not on a Lore standpoint it doesn't make much sense. I can clearly distinguish a Medium frame from a Light frame just by observation. Color coding has nothing to do with it. In fact, the most confusing color-combination I've found are on the Heavies which I usually differentiate by what weapon they're using.
IMO, I'd much rather my suit blend in with the environment (Rattati / Foxfour Gallente Assaults which completely lack the white theme) or adhere to my race's theme ( Starter Fit ).

Agreed, The Rattati suit is currently my favorited suit right now.Not just to show my appreciation for Rattati but because it's one of the few Assault suits in the game that doesnt say, LOOK AT ME I'M ASSAULT!
Now I dont mind bombastic coloring, but my main issue is with the Gallente and Caldari suits. Minmatar id the best one because it matches PERFECTLY with them as well as the suits name. Amarr is alright and even though I think both of those suits are tacky on a personal level but I recognize that they are decent from an out of perspective view.
The Gallente and Caldari suits however, just make me scratch my head.

I would like to support the above proposal for the various colour schemes on Amarrian dropsuits.
Being a child of the Empyrean Age expansion i would prefer a slight modification on the Khanid colours to black, silver armour and blue visor lights like the old navy ships of the Khanid empire at that time .

Relax - Dust division of CCP just doesn't have "taste" in design, just look at that insane Quafe suits, Proto Quafe Scout is great, bot those BPO just junk shiny gay thing.
"The train" on one of the new maps? Looks like it assembled from lego pieces - welcom to 90s.
And now - APEX, good idea, just great, but color - my eyes are bleeding, shiny gold junk, c'mon make us "Solace" or "Black Eagle" line or just color them to PROPER LORE EVE ONLINE COLORS, I just want proper Amarrian style suit. |

and herein lies the problem. ostentatious and flamboyant are 2 words that should never exist within new eden. it ruins the tone of the game, it has to be balanced very carefully colorwise. and the thing is EVERYONE hates the yellow on the logis and the gal light suit white and blue that isnt racial themed. needs to go back to the original gray and green scheme. not to mention theres no differentiation between the adanced and basic tiers. they all need work if im being honest.
but for now just the apex suits. This is what the gallente ones should look like: http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1399/10/1399101328777.jpg Black and green camo, green lights.
This is what amarr should look like: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fdj8VxA6nLE/U_OgCmhz_2I/AAAAAAAACag/3YHsCQ-_k2Q/s1600/nomen.jpg Black and light gray two tone with blue lights or go khanid if you want. black and with dark blue, cant miss.
This is what caldari should look like: http://pozniak.pl/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011.11.19.11.00.37.jpg Black and dark gray digital camo with white-blue lights or orange lights. either light choice is fine.
and finally minmatar: http://www.eve-wiki.net/images/e/e7/Vagabond.png the regular minmatar colors already pretty much match the fleet stuff. its brown... so instead use the vagabond above and go rusty brown/black with light gray and red lights. or go with the muninn and do brown camo and red lights http://www.eve-wiki.net/images/thumb/9/9b/Muninn.jpg/800px-Muninn.jpg
i made this rusty snow camo as a possible draw for minmatar. itd look neat. http://www.happyponyland.net/camogen.php?dontcache=Wed%20Nov%2012%202014%2004%3A23%3A39%20GMT-0500%20%28Eastern%20Standard%20Time%29&poly_size=100&spots=500&spot_radius1=20&spot_radius2=30&spot_sampling=25&pixelize=100&pixel_sampling=25&pixel_dens_x=70&pixel_dens_y=40&bleed_amount=3&c0=401310&c1=171717&c2=D3D6B0&c3=612012
the banana yellow and neon green is awful, they look like clown suits.

We decided to go a litttle austentiatious and flamboyant with the APEX suits.
We already have Role colors, not because of New Eden lore, because we share Frames between two different Roles for both Heavies and Mediums. Breaking that would also create confusion.
The next batch of new BPO's will possibly be MLT/STD New Eden themed, so suggestions are welcome.
I personally think that every single one looks awesome and brings a much needed flavor to our sometimes monotone existence. Since you have asked for it CCP Rattati I would like to suggest a run of Amarr BPO options Themes are: - Khanid Cyber Knight - Either Tan on Navy Blue- Ammatar Consulate Marine - Grey with Golden High Lights- Imperial Court Paladin - Deep Crimson with Gold HighlightsMy personal Favourite (AKA would throw money at!): Tash Murkon - Grey with Deep Ochre Orange You probably have this already but Thematic Colour Schemes I would like to support the above proposal for the various colour schemes on Amarrian dropsuits. Being a child of the Empyrean Age expansion i would prefer a slight modification on the Khanid colours to black, silver armour and blue visor lights like the old navy ships of the Khanid empire at that time .
tash murkon also looks like a few gallente ships like you have with the lachesis and orneiros from roden ship yards. but thankyou someone else who isnt color blind. theres so many good options for amarr alone.

I personally think that every single one looks awesome and brings a much needed flavor to our sometimes monotone existence. Brought this up with the art team while I was at Fanfest. It was a decision to implement familiarity in a game that... Well, didn't really need it. After a certain distance it's all just silhouettes and the color doesn't matter - be that reason for low LoD at long-distances or because it's too much of a pain-in-the-ass to ask what colors the player is sporting at 70+ meters. Honestly, I'd prefer going with something a bit more practical and functional than "I'm Assault, so let me wear white to show everyone that I'm an Assault." It doesn't make much sense on a tactical level or on an aesthetic level. Did all of the races sit down and convene that they should color-code everything for fairness or something? Even not on a Lore standpoint it doesn't make much sense. I can clearly distinguish a Medium frame from a Light frame just by observation. Color coding has nothing to do with it. In fact, the most confusing color-combination I've found are on the Heavies which I usually differentiate by what weapon they're using. IMO, I'd much rather my suit blend in with the environment (Rattati / Foxfour Gallente Assaults which completely lack the white theme) or adhere to my race's theme ( Starter Fit ).
ive been in squads so many times where were just laughing at how the assault suits are storm troopers. theres so many ships in eve for each race to take colors from and they were just lazy and went herp derp white and black it is. id be willing to bet money that the people who colored these initially who were probably fired for being terrible at their job have never even seen a ship in eve. because its just completely wrong.

They're still with CCP. Honestly, I can understand the logic they had when they were going that route (differentiating different roles between one another) but I personally would prefer more lore-friendly or tactically viable colorations instead of class color coding.
