Please allow Hero mechs (and the Phoenix) mechs that customers buy to apply camo patterns they've bought for that chassis. Leave the "custom" Hero skin for that mech special to it, but allow others to be applied. It'll help with unit cohesion, and some customers prefer to other patterns.

It has to be easy to do: PGI themselves posted a pic of the Phoenix BLR-1G(P) sporting Phranken camo in their own Battlemaster Customization Sale banner:

(and no thats not the D or the S)

No they didn't... that's the BLR-1G standard that was released for public use that very same day. Look at the shoulder, it's not as ridged as the (P).

The Phoenix mechs, most Hero mechs, and the Founders mechs all have unique geometry that cause them to be more complicated for mapping every single camo pattern to.

Edit: Just to be clear, by 'more complicated' I mean that it puts an extra step in the already ever-increasing amount of different geometries every pattern needs to be made for. Every standard variant mech needs every camo pattern mapped to it. For most of them it's simple, especially with weapon geometry changes. But then comparing the Founders Jenner to the standard, with its completely different head, or the Phoenix Battlemaster with the bulkier shoulder pads... It's just more and more work.

Hi there, a lot of people do wish to put camo patterns on their hero mechs. Therefore I did a thread to collect the voices:

At first this seemed reasonable to preclude it. Then I saw this:

See how the little Phoenix bits are black? Well, that's because they're a seperate texture, the Phoenix bits use the "variant" texture, the "variant" texture is used to texture weapons across mechs, the reason it's seperate is so that we can have camo patterns in the first place, which is why "we can't do it because it's more work" is a bad excuse because the Phoenix bits are completely seperate from the actual mech skin in the first place, there is literally nothing, and I mean nothing stopping them from letting us camo up our Phoenix mechs, they are in no way special or different from the regular variants.
