Calling all artists!

My buddy and I were talking yesterday, and thought it would be a awesome idea to have Mechwarrior pilots licenses, as gag ID. I was thinking, if the could be lamented, and look like actual ID's it'd be perfect for those of us that don't have actual driver's licenses, and to just have them even if we do.

I was thinking, it'd have the picture in the top left corner, with Name, ID number, House/Clan/Merc unit affiliation, piloted 'mech, age, height, weight, rank, home planet, etc. And the background would be the shield of the house that the pilot currently is working for.

So, now that the idea is presented, can any of our awesome artist make this sort of thing? Does anyone know how to make a "fake" ID for this sort of purpose?

WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?!?!?!?

I'm no pro, but something like this should be fairly easy to cobble together I think, ideally, what we should make is something like a template, that way you can easily change all the info on it.
I may not get around to it for a few hours, though... Haven't slept yet

Sounds like a fun idea

Yeah! That's what I was thinking. A easy template that you could swap out the backgrounds, the picture, and fill in the information.

But, go sleep first, that is needed!

I would imagine that the license would look a bit different for each faction, though

That is an interesting thought. Maybe just a grayish background with the faction insignia on one side. Kinda like our profile pics now, but the grey is extended to one side some.

[Trevnor]

That's a good idea Madcat! I was just thinking like a zoom in of the shield, so like the upper left of the insignia or something, but it's flexible.

shouldnt it be military ID's or mercnet ID?

[Trevnor]

I suppose it could be, but I was actually thinking of getting these made.

I suppose you guys over in the FWL just take someone at their word when they say "Yeah, I can drive one of these bad boys, now gimme the keys!"

[Trevnor]

In truth, I want to pull one out for the next time I get ID'd, which mind you, only happens when I shave my beard off, but still. I just want to troll people IRL. LOL

Eh heh, yeah, I figured. That's why I'm trying to make it look like an official ID, but there's just so much extra crap thrown onto them

Yeah, I know that it wouldn't be too easy of a task, but if you can pull it off, you are a god among men.

How about an license system like in Burnout Paradise.
License D-->C-->B-->A-->Ultimate Mechwarrior License(UML)
For each license you unlock other thing like Mechs,decals,vinyls and so far.
You can costumize your license with colours and symbols for each faction.
You have to kill different amount of Mechs like for License D:25 C:250 B:750 A:1500 UML: 5000-10000
And for that we dont copy the Burnout Paradise system we add archievments we must do additional to the Mech kill amount.
What do you think about that idea?

Pretty cool, but it's up to you to convince the devs to add a licensing system! LOL I just want to troll IRL

I tried editing your template but ended up wanting to make my own.

Behold: my learner's permit!




Twycross would be the planet that I it was issued from.

Hey, that ain't bad, Motionless - -

Finally decided to put my head down and finish one of these, and came up with this.
Tell me what you think, Trev - any changes you'd like made, just let me know.
