A Decals button has been added but we've seen that before. That's where this thread comes in, show Pgi we want these features.

Russ said Custom geometry would likely show up a little bit after Decals.

This thread has a poll about the topic.

No custom geometry? Why? We're not talking about lore breaking stuff like Santa hats, etc.

Decals most definitely, custom geometry would depend what they had in mind for it.

Custom geometry. Never forget!

I want different Atlas skulls, different Battlemaster cockpits, Catapult noses, Centurion Mohawks, FISTS instead of weird grapple claw-machines!
I want ALL THE THINGS.

Could you please stop bringing this up IN EVERY FREAKING TOPIC.
You are cluttering everything with your unconstructive whining. STOP IT.

@ topic
Decals would for sure be nice especially for units and would net PGI loads of small amounts of money which is good.
Custom geometry would be ok as long as it really are only small cosmetic things. On IS mechs I think that could add more immersion cause those century old warmachines can have some different parts after countless repairs.

You confused me with the first part but I got it you were talking to Tuis Ryche. I agree, this thread isn't the place for whining about the voting system.

@Blackfang

Alistair Winter PM'd Denis de Koning (Art team lead) and these are the main points of Denis's response.

PGI is interested in the possibility of selling cosmetic custom geometry upgrades.
Every bit of cosmetic custom geometry (CCG) will come with a single set of texture, such as the chrome-painted skull of the AS7-S(L). In other words, it won't change colour based on how you paint the rest of your mech or what camo patterns you have.
It needs to be relatively simple. To sell a completely redesigned retro-Timber Wolf based on old artwork is too much work. We're talking about simple upgrades, like replacing a head, a shoulderpad, an armour plate or a hand.
PGI needs to know what kind of upgrades we're interested in, and what mechs they should handle first.

Here's Alistair's thread: http://mwomercs.com/...ponse-from-pgi/

His poll is epic, the only thing it doesn't ask is "how much?" My poll in the OP asks about pricing but AW really made one of the best polls I've ever seen on the forums.

This is an excellent point, there's good number of people who've got all the heroes, mech bays & cbills they want and thus don't have any way to spend their MC.

Since we're talking about decals I'll post my ideas about them from way back in CB and OB

Decals: Excellent microtransaction and revenue stream opportunity. Allow community members to create custom decals. Then allow them to sell those to other players. If Unit A wants a custom unit logo as a decal, I can create it for them and then charge xx cbills (or MC) to sell it to them. PGI can also charge an upload fee (MC or Cbill a SMALL one like if we're talking MC under 50 MC) to the uploaders. This creates an entire economy that involves premium currency (if wanted) and generates more income for PGI on something they literally have to do nothing with other than monitor for vulgarity and such.
