Nothin else to say.  This is a minor bug but an ugly one. Just thought y’all would like to know about this little detail since y’all love getting the details right.

    @Bossk_enthusiast I’m not 100% sure it’s a bug, I think that DICE may not have made a destroyed version of the blue and white version of the tanks/speeders/starfighters. As if you look at all of them, they all do it. I think the Separatist vehicles use the original, yellow destroyed version. I think this may have just been an oversight when the devs changed (for the better in my opinion) the colours for CS.

    I think the use of the blue and grey colors is indeed really really cool.  A very nice touch if I do say so myself. Allows for a very precise experience of the Star Wars universe which I greatly appreciate.  I can’t complain about this bug either as it is very minor.  I will say that scattered throughout the capital supremacy maps are the remains of blue and grey AAT tanks as decoration.  The models used for these environments could certainly be repurposed for the destroyed tanks in game.  I think this was the original purpose but because the developers are probably buried in other more important bugs it was just overlooked.

    I will also say that with this bug and the addition of the blue lasers being deflected red I feel a sense of betrayal from the devs.  I understand that the devs have more important things to worry about and I do greatly appreciate the effort they put into this game merely for our enjoyment and experience.  However, when these minor bugs appear i get the sense that the developers aren’t really playing their own game nor enjoying it.  I get this sense because these minor details are easily observed from just a single game of capital supremacy and stand out to myself as blaring oversights.  They are also very easily fixed.  I’m sure that some assets just need to be replaced and rearranged.  However I cannot rightly say that I know.

    I would again extend a thank you to the developers for their hard work and also because I know that feedback from the community can be very brutal and I don’t want them to feel attacked because this game is truly one of the more beautiful games I’ve ever seen and it’s not because of the graphics but because of the seamless transition between this game and the movies related to them.  It is truly a sight to behold.
