Clan 2C mechs and MASC equipped mechs........................... some working on thousands $

Edited by SaltBeef, 03 October 2014 - 07:53 PM.

* "Prototype" mech pack...mechs that aren't available per timeline yet. (Why worry about the year anyway, if CW is coming in reiterating seasons?)

* Elemental/tank/Urbanmech consumables

* Single-player/co-op campaign

All after Community Warfare is released, of course.

HERO ASSAULT MISSILE BOAT.

HAMIB for short.

[A banana in the tailpipe]

I've already given PGI enough money where I could have bought 5 retail AAA games instead.

All I expect from them now is results, and I expect a great deal of them in the form of maps, balance, mechs, and clan warfrare if they want me to spend any more.

(A clan buster pack with the Flea, Sentinel, Grasshopper, and Zeus would be nice too)

Sounds like some kind of Middle Eastern name. Arabian themed hero?

Unique mech geometry.
I know they have discussed it before, but imagine if you could select an overall 'look' for a mech, or individual components:

• Primitive: exposed wires and ammo belts, etc.
  
• Royal: pennants and flags hanging from weapon mounts, etc.
  
• Prorotype: extra glowy bits and odd little bits and pieces of geometry.
  
• Bandit: chains and rust, maybe a commando head on a pike.
  
• Different cockpit shapes or colours.
  
• Extra bits of armour plate, or customizable existing plates (imagine the blinkers on the Jager with holes added for better vision, etc)
  
• Command: extra aerials, dishes and communication equipment.
  
• OR - different fists/hand actuators/battle fists etc.

Different cockpit styles
(basically an expansion on cockpit items):

• Different types of monitors, etc.
  
• Ejection toggles
  
• Exposed wires
  
• Bloodstains!
  
• Damaged equipment.

Texture overlays:

• Damaged/scarred: like the misery, but with that overlay over existing colours and textures.
  
• Chrome
  
• Shiny
  
• Matte
  
• Pearlescent! Two tone!
  
• Old (faded colours, paint worn away near joints)
  
• Bandit/pirate: welded plates of different colours.

Decals:

• Really, if they were priced well and relatively freeform, I can imagine forking out a lot of cash to individualize my mechs.
  
• Submittable unit decals:
  
  • The Unit votes on it? A premium is paid to cover the cost of PGI vetting the decal.

More colours:

• I would pay a PREMIUM to be able to select my own RGB values.

Unique hangars:

• Field hangars, in different locations. Frozen, desert etc.
  
• Unit hangars:
  
  • Imagine if a unit hangar rendered some of the mechs of online members. When they dropped into battle, they would fall through the floor like the Atlas in the teaser video.
• Hangar decorations!
  
  • Pennants, flags, maybe support vehicles, a bed, prefab buildings, PEOPLE WALKING AROUND, a bar, command table, piles of junk etc.
• Different hangar styles:
  
  • High tech
    
  • Low tech
    
  • Space!
    
  • Cave
    
  • House barracks
    
  • Dropship
    
    • In combat/space/landed/crash landed etc
• A city/base under attack
  
  • Like river city, but with more smoke and dakka, and techs feverishly working on your mech.

A customizable polaroid:

• Pay once to unlock the polaroid, then upload your own local picture so only you can see it.

Basically, I believe that customization would be a phenomenal way for PGI to bring in the extra cash. Some of it would be easy (different animated backgrounds etc), while other stuff would likely require some pretty crazy development time and resources.

Maybe PGI could make a broad outline of mech geometry stuff that they would like to see, and free up the designers and animators to just go nuts every now and again if they ever managed to find themselves with some free time (or maybe even have a half friday thing like we have at my business, where you're allowed to work on whatever you want).

Sure thing. Perhaps a notable figure from the Arkab Legion can pilot it, or Saladin Bey from Genyosha.

An Atlas with a turban on its head? Replace the arms with LRM20s, LRM20 in the one torso, LRM10 in the other, LRM10 in the CT ....no armor, but as much ammo as you can pack?

[kazlaton]

I would gladly pay money to be able to apply existing camo patterns to my hero and prime(I) mechs.

[Draxx9]

Tank pets with guns

Question: What new items would you be 100% sure to buy if they added them?

Every one of these:

[Thorn Hallis]

AeroSpace Fighters

[SweetJackal]

I would like to see the option to purchase proper "skins" as defines by other games, not the pallet swaps we have now. Complete remodel, unique weapon models, full body colors and effects. I am talking about being able to make your Atlas look like it has been shot to pieces and patched back together over hundreds of years of succession wars, for example. Very themed remodels for mechs that could be used in place of camos and paints.

[A big brave boulder of meat]

Not to be a pooper of parties. But if I ever see a mech wearing a hat in this game I will stop playing.
