Check the last picture for the paint on the cannon opening, it may be a bit difficult to see as the surrounding space is dark.  

Graphics for ships and buildings were set to high.  Like I said, the Kodiak is the only ship that displays this sloppy asymetrical pattern.

Can anyone show me how a proper one should look like?

My point doesnt seem to be coming across properly

I'm not complaining about the quality of the GRAPHICS, I'm wondering about the COLOR SCHEME.  Now, if this is normal, and appears the same way for your Kodiaks, please say so, because I'm trying to ascertin if this is an annomaly or not.

EVERY other TEC ship has a normal color scheme of symetrical color markings(save fighters/bombers) so when I see that only the Kodiak is differnt then of course it causes some concern.

Looks normal to me.

well i can tell you i dont have any problems like that... i use blue as my colour scheme, so its possible there is a tiny bug in the red colour scheme application subroutines (i always wanted to use that word)

i can see, on the top of the top cannon, there are small lines, like the paint dripped, and on the rear side (the side you can see) there is a large blot that looks a little weird.

as someone said, if cant be totally sharp, just too much going on, but i do see where you are coming from

on the other hand.... while you are fighting, does the colour scheme really matter all that much?

just played a game, had a look at my kodiaks, but also at all my ships... no weird colour blotches... i mean, there are some artistic bits where the paint has faded or scratched off, but nothing like what was in that picture...

really have no idea whats wrong... is it possible one of your mods altered a game file that you dont know about?

Of course, I wont be able to get my hands on the disc for a week or so(until I get back from university), so any other solutions would be appreciated.  

Each ship probably has a bunch of texture maps on them which reduce the file size...instead of drawing each individual pipe and armor plate, they make a color swatch or something in photoshop (or equivalent) and smack that on there...saves memory and stuff....I despsie texture maps....they are impossible to do in Maya!!!

Just went ingame real quick and took some screenshots of my own Kodiak colored yellow, and it looked just like yours, right down to the colored inside of the barrel.  Just for reference here, I'm running the game at max settings with 4x AA and 1680x1050.  I see what he's saying, and you'd have to be blind not to see it as well, because it looks like someone applied an overlay of paint and it landed in random spots all over.  I guess the Kodiak just has a really bad texture, though I wouldn't doubt that they'll fix this soon, seeing how they did the same for some of the other TEC ships.

Here are the screenshots:

Yup, that's exactly whay I'm getting.  You didnt have any mods on when you took these did you?  One more thing, can you tell me if your fighters/ bombers display any team color besides exhaust trails?  Thanks.

I have no idea what that means  , but should I assume that you are NOT having this problem?  All I'm really trying to find out is if this is an isolated problem for afew people like me Ssolrac, or a commonly overlooked bad texturing job by Ironclad.  

Nope, no mods running at all.  Just checked the fighters and bombers now.  I found that there seemed to be nothing to see on the bombers, but the fighters had quite a noticable team color design, though you had to be looking at them sort of close to make it out well enough.

I would be pretty sure that everyone has the messed up texture, because this would seem like a problem that would break multiplayer if it was only an isolated problem.  The question is, do they know about this, and if not, how do we let them know?  One would think that this is a problem that would be easy enough for them to fix, as long as they know about it.
