Alrighty - time for some reply-o-rama!
Shader2585: Ah - Okay. I guess the rust marks are a bit too uniform - they blend with everything else. I'll see what can be done on the scorch marks, and same with the bit streaks. I really doubt it'll be a big deal. Also - would you mind giving the filename of the one you like?
Bob McDob: Ah - okay. Would you mind referencing the filename of the one you like? I can't be precisely sure by the message you posted, and I don't want to tag the wrong one. As for the dark stealth one - that's pretty much the only one we have any sort of direct reference for - so we're gonna be keeping it in there. Take heart, though - it'll only be on a couple of ships. Wildcat and the Corsair at this point.
Chevieblazer: Hmmm. That might be a bit of a problem. I thought the European no parking signs only had one crossbar - not two. Or I could be wrong.

Hmm. Almost makes me want to go back to the white/blue scheme.
Nah, I think we'll leave it as-is, and provide a bit of a laugh for our European players.
ChrisReid: Okay - I'll be removing most of the gradient - I'll leave a bit of it in there - just for the whole "Old, faded paint" look.
Anyway - just wanted to let you guys know that we're taking down all the suggestions, and were fixing them all in one go. (As so we don't go into the time-consuming trap of recreating all the textures, over and over. Already done 'em twice, gonna have to do them thrice. I really don't wanna do 'em four times.)
We should be showing a couple new models here in a bit - I'm pretty deep into texturing right now... the last thing I got the chance to model was the Dorkir. That was fun.
Looking forward to the Raptor model/textures.
Loving the feedback, and keep 'em coming!
