What soldier is his right mind would drive around in brightly painted vehicles? The idea is to blend in to the landscape. This picture shows two HAVs with camo, which is great. How about we try applying that stuff to the rest of them and dropsuits too?

Just because you show up on tacnet when in range of the enemy doesn't mean this should turn into My Little Pony. I can see using a more aggressive color palette but bright, happy sunshine colors is lame.

Just picture 7 LAVs rolling down a hill, rainbow coloured, with mercs in reverse rainbow coloured dropsuits manning the turrets, towards you. If that doesn't make you kitten your pants, I don't know what will.

your team does not have to USE ALL THE COLOURS! the devs just gave us options:

i could imagine a fleet of alternating yellow LAV, black LAV of goon swarm (or any other bee themed group)

or

i could see a whole corp decide that neon "green death" was their thing and only fit vehicles of that colour.

If the Goons/Immobile Infantry want to roll out in all black with yellow trim that's cool. If the battlefield turns into a mass of neon colors the stylistic theme of New Eden just took a big dump.

You are assuming that actual camouflage would do anything in this day and age, and you would most likely be horribly wrong. Even though the game doesn't show it, New Eden would be ridiculously advanced to the point where actually using your eyes would be like using a rotary telephone in this day and age. Advanced thermal optics and scanner systems would only be countered with other highly advanced technological solutions.

The only point to actual coloration of your armor would be about whatever increased your morale, as increased morale would also increase proficiency.

We have the technology present in the game and is represented by Tacnet. Wolfman has indicated that scanning has been reworked and improved including the ability to reduce your profile. Visual scanning is already important with targets only appearing if they are very close or you are looking right at them. As terrain becomes more detailed and cluttered the color of your gear will influence how likely you are to be noticed by the enemy.

Honestly they aren't that bad, the lime-green is the only one that is too out of place here.

I tasted the rainbow and threw up a little...

more like NASCAR than military.

Perhaps Camouflage isn't everything Rees?

Why not corporate terror? Because Terror is a weapon.

It would make Mercs weak in the knees to come across the Infamous Pink HAVs of PFBHz. Many would run in terror at the sight of a Neon Orange and Black LAV on the grill it says 'Bojo'

Camo is so 2000 and late, don't be a fop

I played airsoft once with some dudes form work, and one guy shows up in a full yellow jogging suit. He is like 6'2 as well. He was like a giant banana.

But- he and I, with our rental guns (aka militia ARs), knocked out 20 enemy players and were hanging out in their base taking them out as they came back.

Then we got TK'd

I should try that again someday.

Well it's not like many people going to consider a giant enemy banana as a potential threat.

If i want to drive around in a pink surya i will do so

It has become very clear that I'm the only one that likes the drabness of New Eden or the color palette normally associated with the military. Maybe it was the 20 years in uniform that warped my design sense. Carry on with your happy colors. I'll just leave y'all be and go back to my dark and depressed place.

/me hangs up dropsuit and wanders off...

You might have a point if simply scrolling over an enemy didn't paint them bright orange on your entire team's radar. And LAVs are already one of the easiest things to spot in the game. Look for the block with headlights.
