Something wrong with the YT ? The last two textures are the same

How about giving the texture applications names so we know which one we're buying?

nice feature, I've been wanting to see what the kits looked like for a while. Although I was hoping the A-wing would have the flames the previous rebel ships had. Oh, and any chance you can number the textures on these piucture, so we know what they are?

Tiggs -
Is there any way you can indicate which texture kit does which pattern for each ship? To my knowledge there are 6 texture kits (and some ships only have 5 patterns displayed). Right now there is no way to "preview" textures so knowing which kit did which pattern on each ship would be a huge help for those of us looking for that "just right" texture.
Thanks Tiggs!

Great feature! I would agree though, for this to be truly useful, it would really help if these pictures had labels to tell which texture kit produced what results. Thanks!

Rebels and Privateers get 'em because we are a bunch of rabble!
Did you ever see the uniforms on our base defence NPCs? Jeesh!Message Edited by Vorpaks on 11-12-2004 01:19 PM

Any one have a link to what kits do what for each ship, or a link that shows the style for all the diff ships, or something that will allow me to desgine my ship with some accuracy?

It wouldn't really looked military if someone was runing around in a Pink Tank with yellow dots now would it?
Same goes for the Empire.
Pink wouldn't suck up too much light energy.
I personally would be very intimidated by a pink TIE Fighter.
Even more so if it had yellow dots. Anyone who had a TIE like this would wipe the floor with me since I have an inability to laugh and press buttons at the same time.Message Edited by Vorpaks on 11-12-2004 01:20 PM

I second everyone who asked for identification of the different patterns. We still don't know wich kit to choose to get our pattern of choice.
Ideally the should be some in game way to see the pattern and also a preview when painting your ship. Include this feature AFTER combat upgrade and GCW upgrade

This has about as much worth or impact on the game as listing the beta testers.
Which is to say: Nothing.
So, yeah. What about the Combat Upgrade?

Actually, my Y-Wing has a paint job that is not on that list. It looks like something out of TRON, but it's not on that sheet. What happened there?

Whoops, wait, nevermind. It's the one in the upper left. They just left Tone 2 as the ship metal color and you can't see the other half of the customization.
That's bad, by the way. Tone 2 is what makes most of the Y-Wing paint jobs cool! WIthout it they just look half-baked.

So go read the Combat Balance thread - there's a ton of information in there. Don't sit there and complain that this Friday Feature is useless because its not what you want. I find this to be very useful, considering we can't preview texture kits in game.
