Colors for SL ships of dubious origins?
« on: 10 March 2012, 11:07:35 »
We know that SLN ships are painted in schemes of light grey, dark grey, and [insert color denoting homeworld here]. How does this apply to SLN ships that are not built by the League, such as those purchased from member states(Davion Davions, Kuritan Samarkands, etc), or those captured in battle(SLS Quicksilver Mongoose)? Do they get a unique scheme denoting their foreign origins? A standard scheme based on nation of origin? All foreign worlds get their own individual colors? Something else entirely?

For that matter, did CASPARs and other drones get a standard SLN paint job, or something else, since they weren't part of the SLN proper?

Thanks!

Don't know about WarShips.

SDS Drones (Only the M5 was called Caspar) would have been just painted grey and dark grey. No accents, no ego. Drones don't need ego, they are just that good.

Cool, thanks! I guess I'll just hope for more detailed paint scheme info in one of the other upcoming SL books.
