'only' 45 to go? At one a day you would make it...barely...  ;)

Hmmm. I thought I had contributed to that once before. *shrug* Oh well,
no time to check; here go!

>ESU

>		     Yellow on White
>Adam Delafield:     Yellow
>Darren Douglas:     White, Red Trim
>John Leary	     Red on Steel, Yellow Trim
>Jon (TC)	     Red, Yellow or Black Trim
>Brian Bell:	     Sea Green, Forest Green Trim

Indy:		    Dunno; used to be metallic maroon, but I wasn't
		    happy with it so stripped it off. Trying to think
		    of another scheme, but haven't come up with one
		    that I'm happy with.

>FSE
>Jon Tuffley:	     French Blue, White or Lt. Blue Trim
>Darren Douglas:     Dk. Grey/Lt. Grey Camo
>John Leary:	     Tri-tone based on Escort/Cruiser/Capital
>Jon (TC):	     Grey
>Sean Schoonmaker:   Dk. Grey, Red & Yellow Trim
>Beth Fulton:	     Patchwork Blue panels over Black
>Brian Bell:	     Dk. Blue, Lt. Blue Trim

Indy:		    Currently medium/light grey with random squiggle
		    'camo dark grey lines. Not really happy with this
		    scheme, either, actually, but haven't gone so far
		    as to strip and repaint (mostly not happy with the
		    'camo' scheme). B'sides, my FSE fleet isn't all that
		    large, so...

>NAC:
>Jon Tuffley:	     Grey/White
>		     Blue/White
>Adam Delafield:     Blue/Grey
>Darren Douglas:     Blue, 1/2 Union Jack on forecastle 
>			(no flames or corrections about 
>			 Union Jack, please)
>Geoffrey Stewart:   Tri-Blue, Neo-Union-Jack on forecastle
>John Leary:	     Dk. Blue, Black/Grey mottle

Indy:		    Dark (gunmetal/battleship) grey. Some features
		    colored (usually for identification purposes;
		    such as alternating light grey and some other
		    color on the raised radiating rows or whatever
		    they are on the 'heads' of the BBs and BCs)

>NSL
>Jon Tuffley:	     Grey on Grey (often with Dazzle Pattern)
>Darren Douglas:     Panzer Grey
>Dave Lavictoire:    White
>Adam Delafield:     No Paint/Metallic Paint/Clear Coat
>		     Matt Grey
>John Leary:	     Black, Grey Trim
>Jon (TC):	     Black, Red/Gold Trim

Indy:		    Same as with NAC, but w/out the individualized
		    colored highlights.

>UNSC
>Jon(TD):	     Orange, White Trim

Indy:		    Ral Partha 'Paladin Blue' currently, but I like the
		    light/medium grey for some ships, too.

>Kra'Vak
>Jon Tuffley:	     Shifting Green-Purple
>Adam Delafield:     Green/Pink
>Darren Douglas:     Purple
>John Leary:	     Flat Black, Gloss Black Trim

Indy:		    Metallic Green, straight up.

>Sa'Vasku
>Tim Jones:	     Black, Dry brush Purple & Pink
>John Leary:	     6 tone Brown/Yellow
>John Crimmins:      Very Dk. Green, Green Trim
>Beth Fulton:	     4 tone Orange/Yellow
>		     7 tone Blue/Purple/Pink
>Mark Kochte:	     Metallic Black

A-ha! I *thought* I had contributed to it! :)

>Jonathan White:     Purple, Yellow/Green Trim
>Brian Bell:	     Black, Dk color Highlights (varies)

Fighters, any nation (except Kra'Vak and S'Vasku): multi color schemes.
Fighter squadrons generally individualized in some way, shape, or form.
Only S'Vasku and Kra'Vak fighters non-individualized, and they keep the
same color scheme as the main ships of their race.
