What my founders Catapult may look like... added a little extra detail too

only problem will be:- "Note: Selecting bright pink as any colour level results in Paul’s weapon systems automatically locking on to your ‘Mech whether visible or not. Just a heads up."

Hehe, nice. I was thinking about camouflage for mechs today. It always seemed like a slight waste of time trying to hide or conceal something so huge. Obviously using foliage to break up their outlines and all that but even knowing the practical applications for even something so big, exactly because they are so big "Battlemech Camouflage" just makes me chuckle.

Well done sir.

THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT REPRESENTING WITH FWL AVATAR?!

I would not wear your camo op, just sayin but if it was purple though i would jump on it.

[Ranek Blackstone]

It should be red. Everyone knows that the red ones go faster, as to better escape the lights.


All aside, I can see a large mech like the atlas using an urban camo scheme in a city fight. It's large enough you could mistake it for a building at range.

omggggg the cat even looks cool in pink... i am worried

[Argent Tnega]

You sure could not miss that ANYWHERE. I think it literally glows in the dark with those colors.

[Snipah]

Hmmm not sure of your Dora the Explorer colour choice mate :-)

[Thom Frankfurt]

You'd think that bright pink would be an eyesore... But, it looks pretty awesome.

[Wildcat]

Thanks guys, thought it would look cool in Pink, but yeah turned out it looked pretty Awesome in Hot Pink lol

I will have to look that up, sounds interesting...

Will work on other Schemes, like some of the suggested ones... But, I also realized I should have posted this in the Art section, so will post others that I come up with over there, I do have a few cool ideas to work on, so will work on them in the next few days

Well done sir.

It's less about "they don't know I'm here" and more about "it's hard to get a clear sight picture". There's a world of difference between being able to see something and getting a clean shot at it.

Which previous game would let you do that in mechlab, was it MW4 Mercenaries? I can't remember, that was back in the CRT monitor days.

My only question is, where would that camoflauge work? In a gay bar?

[Spoo Hunter]

There is a bright pink Rifleman in Technical Readout 3085. Wackrabbit has done a sweet rendition of it for Camo Specs Online.

Well, as long as Paul's not in the match you're playing, you should be fine.
