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!

You are in the Imperial Navy! Defacement of fleet property is a court marshall offence

You miss the point. It ain't the Imperial Navy's property. It's my property. I bought it with my money. The Imperial Navy didn't contribute to a single flickering light on my bridge consoles. It's mine and I should do what I like to it, whether that's putting a nice imp symbol on it, or painting big yellow bananas with the banner "IT'S MONKEY TIME!!" emblazoned on it.

Dood, you're an Imperial. What's theirs is theirs, and what's yours is theirs. Get used to it.
Or join the Rebellion where they allow you to keep what you buy.

The only reason you have to buy it is for balance, do you know how the rebs would scream if you got free ships as an imp? Regardless,I disagree with it anyways, it is a military ship. We are a proud, organized institution, not a bunch of half brained complainers drawing all over our ships!

And what, Rebel ships suddenly aren't military ships? Rebels may be guerilla fighters and terrorists on the ground, but in SPACE they're an organized navy with squadrons and uniform ships just like everybody else. Sure they can't keep their ships as shiny as the Empire because they're all poor and Mon Mothma uses a large chunk of the money to finance her Bothan orgies, but nonetheless. If I can't paint my ship, Rebels shouldn't be able to either.
All I want is an Imperial insignia on my ship. That's not too much to ask, is it?

Keep talking like that, and you'll be kicked from the ranks of the Imperials. And no one leaves alive....

THough the rebels are a more organized fleet in Space they also are allowed to customize their ships. If you have read any books or seen the movies the x-wings at least always have diffrent color marking that show what sqadron they are from while the Imerials always had the plain black TIES(excpet for teh 181st which had a red stripe on the side of their interceptors) and all there capital ships were White as white can be (except when we blowem up) The rebels value there independance and what better way than to show diffrent looks on thereships. An since there capital ships came from everywhere they all have diffrent colors marking where they are from.

As far as I can tell by the movies, (Captain) Han Solo looks pretty alive.

Irrelevant, because the paint jobs in this game go far beyond squadron colors, I've seen Reb ships with so many embellishments, they might as well be privateer ships.This is no excuse. Why do Imperial ships have to be bogged down with their uniform colors and low mass while Rebel ships routinely violate canon with their over-personalized textures, not to mention the presence of A and B-Wings before they were invented.
I mean, is there a new continuity rule I'm not aware of in which all canon may be violated, unless it screws Imperial players?
