Colour schemes... got any good ones?

[3402178]

How can I resist tinkering with a customiser? I can’t!

 

So let’s show off some patterns!

 

First… the only one I actually bought, just to test the system and see how it works in game.

 

A word of warning; the following is delivered “in universe”. People who don’t like the idea of enjoying a game in ways beyond mindlessly shooting people should run crying back to your mothers now.  :taunt:

 

Wraithblade:

Whilst not flying official Wardens heraldry, the Wraithblade interceptor clearly takes its colours from the Warden order. This particular ship belonged to Captain Quinn, taskforce leader of the Imperial incursion into Sector 1331. The ship was destroyed in the action, but an Interceptor with this colour scheme has been sighted operating in 1337 over the past few days.

 

Tortuga Squadron:

The Tortuga is an Imperial Type Zero-Eight-One carrier that appears to be crewed by mercenaries and pirates. Sighted fighting for all three factions, though never against the Empire, Tortuga’s squadrons primarily use a black, red and gold colour scheme.

 

Imperial vessel designated “Monitor Dragon.” The ship appears to be a Type-Two “Hydra” modified with Federation drone systems. Vessel was seen operating as part of the Armada against Raid incursions. Ship disengaged unexpectedly during the latter stages of the conflict, and has yet to resurface.

 

Imperial Type-Four Army Issue “Hydra” Frigate, code-named “Sponge.” Flew as part of Operation Grimwatch against rogue private military within Imperial space. Ship has nine confirmed kills across three actions.

 

Federation Mk I-M “Wolf-M”. Ship confirmed to belong to Commander Buckland, a Vanguard officer killed in action by Jericho pilots. Ship was apparently captured by Tortuga Squadron and taken as a prize. Confirmed sightings of this ship have been made on the Empire-Jericho border of 1337, but the contacts are weeks old and its current deployment is unknown.

Nice ones! I also like the descriptions. 

Actually I will (hopefully) try an other intake on the paintings: 

The Idea is to create a “psychoactive-camo”, so if the enemy locks on my ship he will feel the urgent need to puke on his controls, which renders him obviously incapable of any actions and makes him a very easy target.

I’ll just save up this post for when I get home and do some paintwork of my own…

 

In the meantine, have some Asterion Empire colours: Blue, White and red linings. For now, I give you… The Templar AW:

Try the Federate Frigates.

That is a very nice scheme on that Templar! Want it!  :lol:

Tried them a bit, and 1:black 2:red/orrange 3:black looks good on everything, but too bad that it also looks cheesy.

Oryngton’s Templar looks pretty neat. IMO Jericho ships look great with white. Also, for some reasons when I switched out my Fox-M for my covops Dagger, the system screwed up and recoloured the Dagger in Armada colours.

I shall join in the fun =) 

 

Many have heard of the defunct Federation conglomerate known as Caldweiss Heavy Industries, but few understand why the conglomerate was hunted down mercilessly by the Federation. It was believed that it was completely eradicated, until a brief but violent encounter with Jericho forces proved otherwise; a vessel from one of the conglomerate’s elite squads was spotted amongst the Jericho fleet in the Ice Reef, along with a Jericho frigate in a similar colour scheme. 

 

_ Federation reporting name: “Arctic Fox” _

Allegedly piloted by the squad leader himself, the Arctic Fox is a Federation Fox-M tackler. First spotted in the Ice Reef by a Vanguard squadron, it ambushed the Federation interceptors, taking down one and severely damaging another. Subsequently, it cloaked and escaped.

 

_ Federation reporting name: “Polar Bear” _

After engaging the Arctic Fox, the Vanguard squadron subsequently encountered a Jericho frigate in a similar colour scheme. The squadron proceeded to engage the frigate, but it escaped via a warp gate, implying that an engineer frigate had been in the sector.

 

 

Alas, I can’t seem to get the Hydra 2 to look nice… the areas occupied by colours 2 and 3 are too small and scattered for my liking.

 

EDIT: Maybe LRFs can adopt a colour scheme that allows them to camouflage themselves, so they’ll be even harder to spot with the naked eye when they have their EM diffusion activated.

[3402178]

Arctic Fox looks kick xxxx! I may have to steal those colours if I start flying that ship again.

[4662737]

Thank you~! ^^ Please feel free to use it =D

Well, after watching

from ZeFrank I contribute 2 color schemes for orks:

 

 

[3075578]

Ok, following from my original post, here, I give you COLOURS!!!

 

Asterion Empire favour an Imperial blue coupled with white or crimson:

Katarian Ascendancy prefer golden colours and metallic plating, following their Theocratic government:

The Nebulon Emirate, a small nation under Imperial Sovereignty and protection prefers to visually hide their ships and apply hit and run tactics amidst the shinning green nebula:

They might not load right now cause steam… If they don’t, I’ll remake the models.

Finally got a couple of designs I’m more or less satisfied with (Hydra 2 is difficult to color; thank goodness I switched that out for a Hydra).

 

Deep Blue

 

Desert Tiger

 

If permanent colour customization becomes a reality (and if the prices are decent) I’ll probably adopt these colours, along with the Arctic Fox color scheme.

[Kine]

Something about old-school nasa made me all mushy inside.

[Kine]

Junkyard Raptor and Medic Hydra. Cheesy but goes well with wine.

 

 

Money saving paint scheme example: Inspired by the Junkyard Raptor. On certain ships, using only 1 color would already make a difference. Junkyard Raptor used 1 yellow on a slot. Below a Lynx swapping the dull black with a bright Blue does a decent job.

This totally just made my night. If permanent colors get implemented, I’d use “Old School NASA” for fighters and frigates besides Engineers (“Medic” ofc), and neon pink (if they implement it) on Interceptors. Kudos to Kine and SoldiersFortune for the templates.

 

Just imagine if this was bright pink and not red, inside its Metastable field, on a scale of 1-10, how badly would you want to pull the trigger?

I’d pull the trigger, anyway.

[Kine]

you wolf now Ory ?

Yeah, for about a month or so… maybe more, idk…
