    I think it looks a lot better imo.

    I always hated seeing so much teal on my Galaxy. It's not like it's that hard to tell if a Galaxy is enemy or not.

    If it is a bug, they should leave it or focus on other things (like crashes) for a while.

    What do you mean "It's not like it's that hard to tell if a Galaxy is enemy or not", like this without camo it's impossible to tell the difference :eek:

    It's also not a very SOE thing to do, because it actually discourages you from using a vehicle camo...

    Vechicle camos look better with this than with the faction colors. Camo don't remove faction colors anymore since a while already. And a Galaxy is in the sky and is huge, if you can't aim it to press Q then you don't deserve to know which faction it is.

    Yeah except spotting at range is pretty buggy, and doesn't always work.

    After a couple of hours of flying on New Amerish tonight, I can safely say that my Galaxy was not targeted by friendly AAA or aircraft.

    I think they should leave it the way it is or at least reduce the amount of faction colors on the Galaxy if / when they decide to fix it.

    And if they are at the range where this is the case you won't be able to spot the faction colors anyway. :rolleyes:

    Q is actually extremely reliable.

    It always work against enemies. 100%

    If you try to Q an unknown craft or vehicle at extreme distance and it doesn't present a enemy dorito, it's friendly.

    Maybe for you poor people on low resolutions, but on my 2560x1440 screen I can make them out just fine.

    Agree it looks very nice, but I didn't seen anything in the patch notes, which would suggest it's a bug and will probably be changed next patch. Considering all the messing around they did to optimise the textures on NS vehicles (RGB values for faction colours), it seems weird to just suddenly remove the faction colouring completely.
  17. ncDieseL


    Try doing that while flying an ESF.

    Some people have short memories don't they, you all cried when these faction colours were added. They never used to have faction colours and they were only added as part of a camo change roll out that TRay has been working on, the result of which will be to allow any vehicles/aircraft to have 2 camo's at once which together will cover the entire vehicle/aircraft. If you want you'll be able to equip the same camo in both slots to have 1 camo or place 2 different ones into the 2 slots to create lots of different combinations.

    It was only a couple months ago this all started, how have you all forgotten already.

    Okay... so faction specific colours are being removed from all vehicles? Not quite sure what you are getting at. The galaxy had previously been optimised for the changes described above, now it's suddenly had it's faction colours removed.

    If this was done on purpose then fine, but where in the patch notes / road map does it say that? Because I can't find anything anywhere.

    I doubt it was intentional. The galaxy looks nicer like this tbh but there is really no way to tell friend/foe except Q

    My suggestion is just throwing on a few empire symbols
