Once PGI runs out of available variants and mechs, a good possibility to get some more money and keep people motivated playing. But currently every mech has a own skin, you can not dynmically change the geometry without breaking this skin to work.

So such a system would require a mech to have various multiple locational skins. Like upper arm skin available in multiple version able to apply with multiple geometries.


The costs on the toher side, depends on the emch, do you unlock an entire geometry for the mech? because at this point I thought its like this:

you have an atlas, and then you have various geometries to apply. like

shoulder 1, shoulder 2 shoulder 3
upper arm 1 upper arm 2 upper arm 3
.

this way you can make 100MC prices, so something low in cost per part. but give people a HUGE amount of visual customisation possibilities. And then people will also spent alot money to customise many of their mechs.

While I like the idea of customizing location colors. I routinely spend more time re coloring than playing at times. I feel markings would be better. IE, the faction/MERC emblems on shoulder leg and back or chest of mech. Also, pilot names/name of mech somewhere on the mech. Also, add a certain stripe or something to ID pilot tier with this new system they have going.


Name and emblems could be bought using real money while faction emblems should be given if you pledge loyalty to a faction or MERC group.
