now i know its not too important,
but we all know the KitFox's right and left arms are different,
the right being more like a gun, the left more like an arm,

i was wondering if we can get an Omni-Mech option,
to Make the KitFox's Left arm Mirror(look like) the Right,
making both arms and the Omni-mech symmetrical,

this Omni-Mech option would be ether
an Upgrade to the Omni-mech, through the upgrades selection,
or a special Omni-Pod that when equipped would replace the arm,


the reasons why i would like to have this option with the KitFox,

(KFX-Mirrored)

in 3054 the KitFox did come with mirrored arms as an option for pilots,
the reason for is arm option was to help with pilots roles on the battlefield,
lower arms where better for missiles, as higher arms were better for lasers,
also the higher arms are actually wider and more prone to enemy fire,

i love the look of the mirrored/symmetrical KitFox,
i have a KitFox figurine that has mirrored shoulder-paded arms,
ive seen amazing pictures of symmetrical KitFox's online and loved them,


Again this is not about Balancing or placing Arms on side they are not intended,
this is a purely cosmetic Option that would only change the look of the KitFox's arms,

Perhaps. However the asymmetrical looks of some of these clan mechs have been iconic in them. (ie summoners arms)

True, but some mechs have Symmetrical Variants later on(such as KFXs),
for these, symmetrical options could work, perhaps as Cosmetic options,
for instance allowing pilots to change the Faces of their Atlas's for MC,
allowing more income to PGI and more Customization to the players,

well this Topics Proposal would only be a cosmetic change to the Left arm,
making that arm resemble the right in looks only, the arm would still only have,
(P-LA=2Energy)/(D-LA=2Missile)/(S-LA=1Energy1Missile)/(C-LA=2Energy2Ballistic),

so no LA 3AMS, but on a side note,
thats Awesome, MDDs / CATs are QQing as we speak,

Probably would not be done if ever because doing this would cost more computer resources in the modeling.

as both Right & Left arms are Separate Models it would be possible to just Copy and Mirror the Right Arm,
if this is the Case than no Extra work would have to be dont with Camos Ether as they use the Same Textures,

mirroring is very simple I can do it to one image in one click. at most it would cost more storage to hold more options that's it...
