Was this left out of the patch notes today, or did it not make the cut?

That is my feeling too. Seems like an aweful lot of work on the (F) mechs for a very small crowd to make them fully paint able

Copy existing skin - recolour = Done.

Cant be that hard. Besides, they can always make the "unique" skins more expensive.

the problem is most of the unique skin colors are UGLY! Thats why we want to change them lol. By making the unique skins and their original colors more expensive, you're just assuring no one will buy them lol

Hero mechs have unique geometry too, guys.

Founders should be paintable.

[Stoicblitzer]

this needs to be a priority over integrated voip. definitely.

Great news despite the delay. But I worry about the future of founder mech repainting. There is a lot of financial sense in giving the ability to hero mechs, as people will continue to buy them, but they can't sell any more founder mechs of course and if they don't hit us now while most of us are still here they probably never will.

i hope we get this today... i have been waiting to change out that nasty tan and green from my Hero Phract. PLEASE PGI... we need this ASAP!

That's no way to appreciate your throw up phract

[Ozric]

The other thing is that the first dev response states that 'mech colors' will be customizable, which implies that the skins themselves will not. In the case of founders mechs the skins are very simple, which works in our favor somewhat. It would be a shame to not be able to fully customize the paintjobs though, and I'd need to buy a skin and several colors to get the look I want on my C1 anyway.

Yes, please, let me paint my Founders - I need my Hot Pink Atlas.

I also want chassis customizations.

Get me Teddy Ears for my Atlas.

Paint your mech is whatever froofy colors you want, but if they ever add this kind of silly-arse crap, I'm out.

On the geometry issue for recoloring founder's mechs, I'd be TOTALLY ok if they just let us change the blue; I don't mind never getting patterns or not having different zones, at least give us that. That wouldn't take much time at all and would never require retroactively fitting patterns. Seems win win all around. At least that.
