Hey!

Super awesome suggestion...

We could minimize PGI's expenses while maximizing our own enjoyment by employing "drag-and-drop" customizations. You drag a spike from inventory, and drop it where you want it to go. Grab an antenna, and drop it here, or there. Then you check-out and payy for your little addons with MC.

That way all PGI has to do is make the drag-and-drop aplet and some 3d models for spikes and addons, and POOF money. You can provide a simple choice of colors for the addons, so cammo compatibility will not be an issue. It also won't affect any special geometries or anyone's hitboxes as long as the addons don't have any collision meshes for objects of projectiles/Lasers.

This kind of drag-and-drop customization would be epic, cheap for them, fun for us, generate money, and won't affect gameplay or the in-game models at all.

This would be awesome. Yes please

this will generate TONS of $. there is only one problem. it will not be introduced faster ten 2018-2025. They dont have recources for this.

Why can't they have the resources then? Pgi should have 8000 employees of every game production profession, and form an its own canadian city for game development.

I want a Firestarter head that doesn't look like a koala.

Scratch that, I want a Firestarter head that's furry and looks entirely like a koala.

How about a dropbear head????

[Jack Avery]

I just want my glowing Atlas eyes and green cockpit glass on my Founder's mechs back. Everything else is gravy.

Gravy that I would pay for, because I like gravy.

Bumping for square Summoner cockpit

[Sigilum Sanctum]

I would waste so much MC, spending 30 minutes at a time customizing my mechs.

DO IT.

[CtrlAltWheee]

Yes!

All the ideas from the original post are great. I don't even necessarily need them to be custom camo compatible. Alternate heads, bike rack stuff like the Phoenix mechs, antennae, radar dish, all that.

Make it cheap and fun to buy and make some things that are useable on all mechs. Like a radar dish can be bought once and used on any mech. Or antennae. Attachment points for general accessories. Warframe prices stuff like that around $2. The sweet spot. Then I can buy multiples, buy bundles for discount, change them every day.

100% okay if the cockpit stays the same with changed external geo on the head.

Thank you for this thread!

Purchaseable geometry would be cool. I'd like to cruise around in a commando wearing a top hat.

[Helsbane]

I want blue muppet fur and googly eyes on springs for my K2.

Count me in if that includes making the gun arm on the Dragon look like the concept art.

[Nathan Foxbane]

I would go for this. Especially if I could mix and match, like having the PP shoulder on the right arm of a Battlemaster while having a regular shoulder on the left.

Could do some really cool stuff for some 'Mechs like giving the Shadowhawk even more talon like hands with only three or four fingers, give Wolverines knuckle spikes, or Commandos different heads.

That's highly unlikely as that would constitute a hitbox and rig change.

[TheArisen]

The only thing I'd say about this is that any and all options should be lore friendly. No Santa hats, etc.

[Imperius]

If you want to know what I actually want. I want a top hat, monical, rainbow trails out what I fire, and nayan cat Sprite bullets on my gold mech.

I'm 100% serious! That said PGI would literally print money, but they won't do it.

[William Mountbank]

NB: when he mentions that each camo would have to be redone for each new piece of geometry, eg for flame etc - well, it is possible to skin a mesh to fit a texture, there is no requirement to always have to paint a texture to fit a mesh.

It wouldn't always look great, but it is possible to have massive amounts of custom geometry without having to have unique textures for each and without the massive file sizes that would entail. Plus, if you give all mechs HD textures, you remove aliasing from stretching.
