Here's my current Liao stable:
Hi, I'm Koniving from the Zhizhu Mercenary Corporation, which is a mercenary group with some fanon lore-friendly ties to Liao.
Normally I don't lurk these threads, however I was curious about Liao colors since I'm making a youtube series on various battlemechs, and want to mostly feature footage of mechs with Liao colors due to the ties associated in the group's lore, as the videos are meant to have a lore friendly feel to them in the form of "Get to know battlemechs," threat assessment briefings, and training information for new recruits that are soon to pilot battlemechs for the first time.
For those who care to see. Naturally with the tie, most of the footage would either be battleground footage, propaganda footage from Liao, etc. Especially when it comes to mechs of Liao-origin such as the Cataphract.
Now, for the other reason I'm here; I'm quoting these colors because they are very similar to the chosen colors for Zhizhu's "Elites," the Jade Dragons.
Though one of us later made this comparison.
Since I'm picking up Liao colors, I thought it fair to share some shots of ours so you may recognize us on the field.
The regulars use these colors.
Although we almost always use the colors, we do not have a set camo pattern. We're mercenaries after all, so individual pilots have their preferences. We're known for assigning escorts to larger mechs, and when pugging with lights or mediums of certain qualifications, may randomly escort larger mechs.
In groups we run in lances of three to four, which will suit the upcoming 12 man system quite nicely.
All shots were taken without modifying the user.cfg file. We lower the brightness by 5, raise the contrast by 5, and raise the saturation by 5. These are simple things that can be done without a tax on performance by adjusting your monitor, or the graphics card's settings. We hope that PGI will allow us to touch the ingame sliders soon.
Although not featured here, we found both "Shiny" versions and "Weathered" versions of our paintjobs in MWO's vast selection of colors. It was quite nice.
Hope to see you on the field, preferably on our side and with cbills in hand.
I wouldn't want you to be on the other side.
It could be quite detrimental.
(All images were taken by Lordred, Waybadmojo, with one or two by Koniving and Zero Vernias. Battlemechs are piloted by various members of the Zhizhu Mercenary Corporation. Home of many devastating and unique battlemechs, to include Flamer Stalkers that quickly dispatch common heavy and assault cheese builds and Gauss Spiders.)
Looking forward to seeing more camos!
