With the exception of my Founder's Catapult, I would prefer to ditch that "custom geometry" on my special mechs for the option to use other camos. I love my special mechs as they help boost my cbill income, but being locked into the one camo scheme is frustrating. Most of the time (Phoenix mechs and the Clan mechs) it's just some pieces of rebar sticking off the shoulders. It really isn't anything special or noticeable. I wish we had a checkbox option to use standard variant geometry (but keep the 25% cbill boost) that would let us finally use other camos on our "special" mechs.

Also, I remember PGI said something about tackling this issue months back, but I haven't heard a peep since. Is there any update on this at all?

There's been quite a bit of discussion lately regarding the "custom geometry."

We've actually got a poll going in the suggestion forum to try and centralize the conversation.

I feel the same way, I would like to change the paint on my Hero and other special Mech's (particularly the Crab, Centurion, and Atlas (L) ), even it it traded for a loss of their special geometry.

I'd love it if my Founder's atlas didn't have a texture that game devs 10 years ago would have been ashamed of. it's blurry, pixellated and just crappy looking.

I'd also love to be able to paint my other "special" mechs more, but I'd settle for having my AS7-D(F) not be hideous.

Got a direct link you could provide?

No, keep the custom geometry.

PGI needs to pull their finger out, and make the patterns fit the mechs we could ONLY get for real, cold hard cash.

And it would be nice of them to at least say something about this, as it has been asked several times, yet ignored, it seems. Which is odd, as the issue is really simple to address. It's a yes / no question. Maybe they know we will be unimpressed with a no.

If the special geometry was all of the quality of the Founder's Cat or Phoenix Battlemaster, I'd say no, I'd rather have special geometry and skin.

If it's just going to be luggage racks, don't bother with it, and let me use the other skins. Especially on Resistance 'mechs. A few roll bars preventing me from using my faction camo on the hero? Let's just drop the roll bars.
