Simple concept - give the needed specs for banner design to the players.

Let us do the dirty work of creating you hundreds-to-thousands of banners that you can have a moderator or your janitor check over to make sure nothing blatantly copy-written pornographic or racially offensive (the big 3 anyhow, I'm sure there's more things to look out for).

Then patch them in once a month in bunches and sell them for 25-50 mc a pop. You can't charge a ton for these, but players will almost certainly buy custom banners to toss into their rides even if they are kind of a hassle to see/show to spectators. Clans will outfit more of their mechs like clans like to do, and goofballs will hang cat and pony posters in theirs.

By far the cheapest implementation of anything you could do, and it would be something players could say - "I created this banner" "This is my clan of rainbow ponies" "It was cheap so I put a picture of a grumpy cat there".

And by keeping the price under control people will be far more likely to simply grab another piece for more of their mechs than swapping a silly banner around.

Bumping due to the 30+ polls posted yesterday. Shall we discuss this further?
