Should warships be dark (dark blue, dark gray or black) or light (white, other colors) in coloring? I've seen cruisers/fighters... in plugs that are of a color so dark that they are very hard to see. The only way to "see" them is by using targetting sensors.

You mean like the Guild Terminator (black/very dark gray) owned by the Guild of Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters in "Realm of Prey"? They're the good guys, and most of their ships are dark.

Hmm, I always found the Rebel Cruiser to be darker in color than the Confed Cruiser...
Also, to fix the being-able-to-see-dark-ships problem, I sometimes turn up my contrast when playing the game, especially important under emulation on a uncorrected-gamma-PC. (man, I'm going hyphen-crazy today, aren't I?)

I prefer lighter colors overall. But it depends on the ship. I don't think anyone wants an electric pink Kestrel.

An electric-pink Kestrel? Well, if Shirley Muldowney owned one, I don't doubt for a moment she'd have it painted hot pink! As for darker=eviller (is that a word?), I don't necessarily agree. The Russian Consortium's ("E3:Endgame") ships are/were dark (same graphics as the Faction ("RoP") and the Querin (EVO's "F-25"). Only the Faction were evil. Although, now that I think about it, the ships used by the RusCon and the Querin were more "silvery" in color than black.

Regardless, it would seem most "evil" ships are a darker shade.

Probably it seems. But it doesnt necessarily happen in the game. Confeds are light blue even if they are evil.

I am eager to try to ansver mission questions
I prefer light, or at least nothing darker than the Rebels in EV Nova.

I agree. If the Confederation does not conform to the will of the people, it should die.
