While I would love to have APB's detailed icon editor for MWO I understand that it is not going to happen.

Me too, but my first auction house buy was a 4x4 there wasn't an AH preview at that point. It took all my money to buy and you guess it someone covered it pedo bear paint scheme :/ shame because something like a skin/decal editor in MWO would of been awesome but trolls would ruin it for 99% of the player base.

APB did have an awesome editor though i loved making some of my cars

Just to let you know.. at this moment we do not plan on adding player created decals due to the various reasons you see things like this go very wrong in other games.  But we are open to suggestions as to what types of decals you have in mind.. and yes.. that horse head looks wicked!

There is no reason you cannot have unit submitted decals to look over and apply.  Just provide a guideline, much like unit creation itself, to allow the numerous groups to provide a picture in the constraints you give.  You get to keep the pictures in check and units get to have their special snowflake design.  This would not even impact sales of MC decals, I assume you would propose.   It could be a separate slot/space from the ones PGI is creating.  Hell, after the custom decal is vetted, charge the MC for only unit members to get.  They get the precious decal, you get the MC-- Win-win.

Why not at the very least allow for a unit decal? Limit it to a small amount per unit, and it would require approval before it would be used? You wouldn't have a huge flood of images to check (due to the per unit issue), and it would offer a way to customize your mech to match your unit.

I understand that if a unit submits and dekle (lol) in order for all in game to see it everyone would have to download that img. Then make the function that would make it only usable for the unit submitted. Also would have to be reviewed as to be suitable in taste.

What about a unit crest creator in game? Something in line with what is used in WoW arena team or unit tabards. It does not allow for 100% customization, or user images but does offer quite a bit of customization.

What I'd expect to see:

House and Clan insignia in 2+ locations on every 'mech, for free.

Regimental insignia for canon units on 1 location for every 'mech, either earned in CW or bought with C-Bills.

PGI-created Nose art for MC, and 'detail packs' like the original Project Phoenix artwork had.

User created (either from a multi-part menu or submitted by unit and moderated) Nose art for MC.

What I'd like to see in the game is stuff like this:

Fun fact about our grandfathers in the Air Corpse. The majority of nose art depicting woman did not get their clothing until after they were returning to the states.

I know, but you can't have EVERYTHING.
