The new Buccaneer pattern, like most patterns, looks better on some mechs than others. But as I checked it out across my mech collection, I found that it has unique messages and images for each mech chassis.

For example on the Cicada it has a Ricky Bobby-esque message:



On the Jaggermech it has "Dakka" on the back. On the Spider it has "Itsy" on the side. Some mechs get big flaming skulls, others the skull and crossbones.

It's a nice touch, and is enough to make me consider it for several of my mechs.

The real question is whether you're willing to pay a heavy/low-end assault mech's MC cost for the pattern and its custom paint.

Awesome catch. Cataphract says "Phract the Sphere" on the arm.

N just buy single use.. 125mc is under $1 I believe


edit: Awesome has "I M 2"
Commando "Mando"
Hunchback says "Redliner" and "Sun Stroke"

well, since i am out of other things I actually WANT to buy, cosmetics are about it.... but so far haven't broke down.

also the Awesome says "Iam2" on the shoulder, as in "I am TOO awesome!" (arguing with children much, lol?)

Single use still costs 3125 MC, if you want the Buccaneer paint.

3125?!?!?!? WOW!!!

You must have some inflation in your country... I only pay 125.....

So use the colors you already have? and if you haven't bought any paint yet.. well to bad really

[skullman86]

Jager has "URB EXO" (urbanmech exoskeleton) on the back of its radar/spoiler as well as the "dakka" on the back of its left shoulder

EDIT: Highlander has "DFA" on the back of its left arm and "24/7" on its right. It also has "D-cap" on the side of its gun. Actually, out of the handful of mechs I have, I'd say the highlander looks the best with this skin.

Yes, because you're also buying unlocks for 3 paints at 1000MC each.
There are CBill paints, there are also pretty frequent sales on paints if you want premium colors cheaper.

Each pattern is diff on each mech...........

I reiterate, each Buccaneer paint costs 1000 MC. Now, do a little math and add 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 125, and you get 3125.

Again, that's only if you don't already have paint. Which is my case, because I was unaware of the paint sale until it was too late, and the Cbill colors are... subpar, to use nicer language.

And yes, I'm QQ'ing because I missed the paint sale.

Then again, you do get the Buccaneer colors for every other mech when you unlock them. I just became aware of this, as I'd not looked into paint before due to what I thought was gouged prices.

[Bishop Steiner]

set the pattern, then choose cbill or free colors.

I never paid for the Phranken colors. Don't see any reason to pay for the Bucaneer ones.

[Menetius]

Wait... there are actually free colors?

I thought the only free color was the olive drab green mechs come with. Are there free alternate colors, or are you just pulling my leg?

[Krzysztof z Bagien]

Catapults have "Meow" writen on their "crotch", missile variants have "Missiles everywhere" on one of the missile bay doors, and K2 has BZT on the side of the PPC

[Truesight]

Well, they are not free, the cost Cbill instead of MC. And you get those Colors from the PC-Gamer Skin for free if you have that one.

[5th Fedcom Rat]

Even variants have different schemes:

-Cat C4 has "Warning Incoming Missiles!" and a different skull on boxes as opposed to "Missiles Everywhere" for A1/C1

-Raven 2x has a nice raven drawing on the arm shield (they're trying to give some incentive to use this horrid mech, I guess)

-Hunchbacks got the most love: in addition to 4P Redliner/Sunstroke, the 4H has "Hedhunter" and 4G has "Man O War" on their guns. Each has a different skull emblem. I don't have a 4J or 4SP to look at right now

I'm liking the effort/detail they put into this scheme.

The 4SP says "FWOOSH" on the outer portion of the RT, where the other hunchies have text.

There's definitely something on the LT too, but can't read it because you can't change the mechlab camera angle.

[Finn McShae]

Sounds like a reason to break out my SP again (I was waiting for SRM fix). That's always been my "pew, pew.. fwoosh" mech. I'm liking this design, and I hope there are more camo's that do similar things.

I'd love the see the celtic knots scheme used by the Sixth Donegal Guards. I'd be totally down with that.

There is no colors to the Buccaneer CAMO PATTERN. It works with whatever colors you have. If you want the colors depicted in the promo pic, well, "Accessories sold seperately".
