While this is a minor complaint, perhaps it's easy to fix?

I just think this white panel should go, it's not like we can have any weapons there anyway, and the mech would look much better with regular armour covering that area.
Now it's uglyfies the mech and makes for good aiming point for ST damage.

The annoying part is that no Zeus variant in the game can actually mount anything there. It is not a blank hardpoint location (unless some new variant is in the pipeline); it is just a blank panel.

Would be cool to get a confirmation from PGI as to whether or not it will be used for something in the near future.

I wouldn't be surprised if PGI coded that area to contain some hardpoints for future releases but blocked it off for now.

I just think it should be normal armour as there are no hardpoints there.

I don't know and I don't care, if you cannot mount any weapons, there aren't any hardpoints, so it logically follows that it should not look like you can mount weapons.

Tell that to every other mech with visible hardpoints that aren't there.

Two (or more) wrongs doesn't make a right.
Why not say what your opinion is on this instead of just reiterating what we all can see; there are panels where there shouldn't be.
Do you think it should look like this?

Should be able to change color yes, I assumed this was common sense.
Should the panel itself be removed entirely? No for reasons stated above.

Anything else you need clarified?

Take off your lasers in the Left torso and then it will match perfectly.

Good luck.

They never changed the Gargoyle (I) variant's ridiculous fat-baby face despite massive amounts of complaints about it. And people paid $120 for the privilege.

At least you got the Zeus (L) for free!

It's a bit weird, because it's actually visually different from the empty right torso hardpoint (brighter and has a vertical line at the left border).

The game files we currently have tell us there is nothing so far, but who knows what PGI has planned?
