You know, I can ALMOST see the logic in no texture schemes for TIEs (despite them being privately made, privately owned ships and not government issuedjust like all the other ships and the fact that no Rebel ship in the movies was customized apart from squadron colors either) but what on earth is the reason for not coloring decimators?
I'm tired of seeing big ugly slabs of grey while novas and yts totter around with nice paintjobs. We Imps don't even get an insignia to place onours! Come on!
I want to pretty up decimators, now!
every imp craft is unpaintable and never show their customizations except for the laser effects 
maybe if you joined the rebelion . . . . ?

If you cannot adhere to empire regulations, and value your indivuality, i think you joined the wrong faction.

I don't want to paint my TIE bright green or something silly like that, but I think a small coloured stripe and an emblem would make ships feel a lot more personalised, and wouldn't really break Star Wars canon.
"Imperial" and "personalized" in the same sentence breaks Star Wars canon.
I never heard Vader say to a stormtrooper, "Heya, Ed. Another hard day at work, eh?"

Newsflash: Squadron colors and insignia are a way to bolster regulation and conformity. Elite TIE Squadrons can and do have these, so do elite Stormtrooper divisions already in the game. But Decimators are another thing entirely, they're an object of prestige given to ace pilots. So why can't we paint them? And don't give Star Destroyers as any sort of example, NOBODY paints capital ships.
And I'll say again, the Alliance Navy has just as much regulation as the Imperial Navy. It is just rag tag by nature. However, no Alliance ship deviated from it's squadron colors, nobody personalized a damn thing. Personalized Rebel ships violate canon just as much as personalized Imp ships would.
Bottom line, the empire is a totalitarian fascist organization. If its not in uniform and within SW canon, you don't get it. Go polish your jackboots and deal with it.

This, in the same game that Rebels get B-Wings before they were invented.
In any case, IT DOESN'T MATTER what the Empire is, what matters is that whether or not the Alliance is free, the MOVIE Alliance did NOT let it's pilots paint whatever the hell they wanted onto their ships. So if the Alliance can here, then so can the Empire. And the Empire being totalitarian or whatever sure hasn't negated the appearance of Stormtroopers with go faster stripes now, has it.

Rebels can't paint whatever the hell they want on their ships. They only have 6 designs to choose from.
