As the title says, any idea as to when we'll get decals & CCG? (Custom Cosmetic Geometry)

Malleus said it well for anyone worried about stupidity.
I'm all in favor of custom geometry so long as it stays true to Battletech.

A bubble canopy for the Battlemaster
The original Centurion right arm
Different Atlas skull faces
Optional Commando cockpit w/o monocle
Extra 'armor plates'
Field repairs
<jack black.Authentic Battle Damage!</jack black>

If it's adding silly stuff like top hats, mustaches, and other stuff that doesn't fit the lore ... then no.

This was covered in the Town Hall. ETA on decals is April patch, same as CW3. However, no custom decals at this point. If you upload a photo of your junk as a decal, it'll only be accepted if Russ is impressed.

Custom geo was not mentioned I think.

Decals are a good idea, and should be implemented soonest.

Custom geometry is not a good idea, and should never be implemented. This isn't Front Mission.

You wanna get slapped?

I'd give my left kidney for different Atlas skulls or Battlemaster's bubble cockpit, or a pointy nose on the Catapult, or a chin turret that doesn't look like a baby pacifier for the Wolverine

They can't get custom weapon geometry right ... you really think this would be any different?

I hope you're not thinking it'll change hitboxes, cuz it won't. And CCG isn't going to be anything big & crazy/immersion breaking.

I remember reading that custom geo was supposed to come a little bit after decals.

As I was unable to see signatures while lurking, I had to log in just to agree. Farscape = win.

I cannot wait for CHH decals; hopefully, forum avatars will also be available.

Knowing PGI, though, they will completely blow it by only making current factions available.

Wanna bet?

If they're going to put that capability into the game at all, it's unlikely that they would stop at "normal" things.

At the risk of going Mad Max, custom geo would be cool.

Hey.....he's being at least as accurate as PGI is known to be.

No hats?! Hasn't Team Fortress 2 taught you anything? Hats are the BEST sellers!

Sir. Are you to suggest that you wouldn't purchase a large top hat to place on your Urbie or Atlas?
