This guy doesn't know what he's talking about Oh, you want to fashion war? I'll battle you on the runway whenever, wherever . I don't play EVE, so I looked up what they look like in EVE, and was surprised to find out I didn't hate the Imperial Navy EVE look. The EVE version has subtlety to the coloring. It isn't black and white, it's beige and black (sometimes it looks like a dark brown or blueish color). The Dust version goes for maximum contrast at the cost of nuance (seems to be a trend actually). The Amarr heavy is very complex with lots of layers, pieces, and straps, and the way its just slapped on in such a binary way ignores this complexity instead of complementing. Here is and EVE Imperial Navy ship, and, notice how the deep dark color gradually goes lighter on some of the pieces surrounding the darkest parts, thereby taking advantage of the visual complexity. Likewise, I think it would be better if the Dust version had different shades for different types of pieces, or the cloth portions, etc. Comparison EVE, now Dust
Wow that is one ugly suit.....
The transitions between the white and black are almost non-existent in this picture and under the lighting are too stark in real contrast to to really have any synergy. Also perhaps I am missing something but it looks odd aesthetically......
I WHOLLY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE MY OPINION WHEN I BOOT UP THE GAME FOR A PROPER LOOK!

I also don't mean to sound ungrateful but I'm looking at the Legacy Assault for the Amarr suits and cannot see any difference between it and the existing dropsuits barring what appears to be a slight glow.

Okey dokey proper feed back time.
I like 'em. That's right I said it I like them. They came out well I believe and will add some much needed aesthetic diversity to Dust as well as be a bit of a fashion statement that I think the entire community can recognise and get behind.
Of them I have some very clear favourites and some that I consider fashion faux pas on a scale I dare not utter lest you use the Viking Death Stare again.
I think particular mention is warranted for the Gallente "Legacy", "Ishukone" Medium Caldari, "Thukker" Light Minmatar, "Angel Cartel" Minmatar Heavy, "Blood Raider" Amarr Heavy, and "Guristas" Caldari Light.
Faction wise I have no doubt that the "State Marine" Caldari and the "Federal Marine" Gallente SKINS also will look wonderful.
Rating them by Race Top to Bottom Fashion wise comes down to a matter, for me personally, of which races have the more unique and interesting schemes as well show a bit of imagination.
Arranged from most fashionable and desirable in my opinion.
Gallente - See some nice variation getting the truest of the classic variations as well as a divergent "Duvolle" orange and a "Serpentis" Camo.
Caldari - Really come into their own with this release coupling the bronze "Ishukone" with the "Guristas" Camo and the Urban Blue "Marine".
Minmatar- While I started off shaky on their "Legacy" SKIN what really redeems this collection are the "Thukker" and "Angel Cartel" SKINs which look amazing. I was sceptical on the "Marine" SKIN but the more I look the more fond of it I grow.
Amarr- The "Legacy" and "Kador" SKINs offer no unique aesthetic traits, the "Marine" SKIN is a contentious subject of contention at present, redeeming feature of this collection is the, and I hate myself for saying this, Blood Raider SKIN which in my personal top 3.

But what happened to the Fed Marine SKIN? It isn't in the blog. I'm hoping they don't just reskin the already existing federal marine suit. I'd flip my **** if they did
You must remain calm Kirk........ despite the blood vessel over one eye that is about to burst you need to have faith believe in the FREEDOM of our Icelandic Viking Overlord.

* genuinely looks dumbfounded by that statement
* Thinks of CCP Wolfman and his teasing
* Thinks of the Amarr Combat Pack and its orange dropsuits
* Thinks of the Amarr HAV never having its own model
* Thinks of the Amarr current content allotment
* Looks at the Legacy Assault......then looks at the Assault A/1
* Looks at the Kador Scout.......then looks at the Scout Ak.0
* Looks at the Imperial Marine Sentinel and is confused
* Gets angry and tries to throw a grenade at Kirk.......... realises he doesn't have one
*Breaks down in tears, enters the Fetal Position and begins to wail "Empress.....help me Empress!"
