What are dithered paint jobs?

BattleCruiserCommander Dithering, according to Walt, is a paint job that uses the fade decals to create a gradient effect between colors, which looks bad up close (if you are using high-contrast colors) even if it looks very cool from afar (in my opinion).

Oneye so Like black to gray to white kind of dithering?

    example of dithering

    Name: Peacekeeper - by Jesus_de_Aguiar.
    Value: 1.529.100.
    Price Range: 2nd.
    The "Peacekeeper" or "PK" has a moderate cost to what it is. It is a cool-looking design and it is very a versatile ship, it has two medium-small Railguns on each side, two ion beams and lots of Electropulse in the front part, along with Heavy Laser Blasters and Anti-Projectiles spread all over the PK. It is very
    maneuverable and an enjoyable ship to interact with.

    Perinczz This is a design contest so using a built in starter ship's paint will not help you...

    A good ship for BH, but gonna be blunt, the reactors (besides ones near the rails) seem too large in one clump and everything above the ion prism seem very low-quality

    Name: TSR Richards - by Richard D
    Value: 1,126,600
    Price Range: 2nd

    This ship is one of the medium sized warship of the Empire of Suns. Designed by Doctor Richards, it is of a friendly cost, however, very deadly to its opponents. It is very versitile, two long range rail guns allows it to keep out of truoble while being very damaging to the enemy ships, its flaks allows it to deter any incoming missile and it is highly mobile making it a very tricky opponent to battle with. If the enemy dares to come close to it, at a medium range, it will be faced with a bombardment of missiles that will shred through the enemy's defences.

    Perinczz While that ship certainly lacks aesthetic abilities in my opinion, it also lacks in combat abilities. Sure, it can kite many ships and kill most that are cheaper than it with its first alpha-strike but it can not stand up to built-ins up to 700k less than it which is saying a lot. Since the ship you submit might get added to the game as a bounty hunter ship if you win, it needs to be at least the same strength of other built-ins at its cost level. But your ship loses 90% of the time to a Biter which is less than half its cost, and consistently to other built-ins 500k-700k credits less than it.

      yeah, quite giving it away. i really suggest covering up the front and putting the shields closer to the rails since paper cutter ships can ram into the barrel, killing the ship from the inside out.
