Keep it going everyone! We have a lot of Decals in the works for November and December, many of them covering some of the most-requested ideas in this thread.

[Pariah Devalis]

Glad to see you're still checking in on this thread.

Also, pink paint when?

How about one for the DCMS "Sword of Light" regiments?

One for the DCMS 9th Benjamin Regulars?

One for the old DCMS 17th Rasalhague Regulars?

Never.

I believe Russ at different time has called Pink "garish" and that such a color would make mechs look "silly".
These opinions should be considered in contrast to the apparent thought process that went into decals. They obviously are the epitome of cool, futuristic precision. Nothing garish or silliy to be seen here.

-Ahem-

Especially those mechs with googly eyes, bright red lips, and a giant smiley face on their crotch. Those are very much not silly nor garish in the least.

Oh. Right. I stand corrected. I'll go off on my own and go shoot walking tanks with my Applejack Cyan, neon green, and purple camo. Totes normal and not garish in the slightest. XD

We need more items that can be combined together to form complex symbols / unit patches.

Think if you were creating your own 40K space marine chapter. There are a ton of symbols used over and over combined with other elements and made different colors to make a unit symbol.

weapons (dagger, axe, sword, mace, etc), body parts (armored fist, hand, dismembered hand, eyeball, talon, claw, heart, etc), random items (chalice, tear / blood drop, gem, weird symbols) and then combine those with different types of shields, wings, lightning bolts, etc and you have design your own unit patches.

Hey Alexander,
I don't know if these have already been covered, so I'll go ahead and post them just in case.

• 1st Somerset Strikers (I would be so thrilled to see this in the game)
  
• Founder Badges and Phoenix badges
  
• All the Phoenix project decals shown in the original artwork, including (but not limited to) stylized versions of the Phoenix badges.
  
• More heraldic designs, allowing units to create their own unit badges. Horses, lions, swords, clubs, roses, angelic wings, skulls, etc.
  
• More stock phrases, as seen in various concept art. "Death from above", "Die, Clan scum", "Terra awaits us", "Information is ammunition", etc.

I don't know if it's been suggested before but I'd like some WWII nose cone style pinup girls

[Commander A9]

What about the decals of individual units, for members of those units?

I'd love to rock the black-and-white blades-and-stars logo of MercStar.

Or shark-mouth markings, like those on the A-10?

Thank you for proving that at least one PGI employee is keeping tabs on this thread.

Also, here's my monthly repost/request:




This link has almost all of the era-appropriate faction/unit dekkels:

http://www.camospecs...3/clan-invasion

..and I'm still waiting on my era-appropriate Kuritan Sword of Light Dekkels.

All Kuritan SoL units have the Burning Sword on their back CT and the front of their right leg:

..and the red/black Kuritan symbol isn't used by any SoL unit in the Clan Invasion time period, but these two are:

red and silver for the 1st Sword of Light:

..and red/gold for the 5th Sword of Light:

..the other SoL unit is red/green and it looks like donkeybutt, so I have no interest in it.

..but, the Otomo symbol is pretty snazzy:

..and, again.. GO TO THIS LINK FOR ERA-APPROPRIATE DECAL IMAGES:

Not a decal Suggestion, but i want to suggest to PGI: why dont you let us win Decals, Patterns and Cammo Colors in the Supply Caches??? im pretty sure it'll make us drop some more MC on cache keys

This weekend I thought to myself: "You know what? I'm going to track the max. number of kills my mechs have made in QP by giving them the appropiate number decal. What will they have, BattleTech font numbers, military stencil type numbers, regular numbers, fancy numbers with swirls, maybe Roman numerals?"

And I searched through all the decals and came to the horrifying conclusing there are no numbers in the Decal system yet!

You'd need more if you want to do different styles like mentioned above but 10 is what it would take at most (0-9) (less when doing Roman numerals).


And not a decal, but could you please stop the 'New' category from being shown on top and instead have 'All' there?
It's irritating that when I select 'Owned' I don't see any of my decals until I select the 'All' category.

I'm aiming to get numbers, letters, and an array of signs and symbols in for the November and December patches. The existing Atlas skull will also be scaled up slightly, so it will allow for better placement on larger 'Mechs (it'll actually fit well on the Atlas now).

Maybe I haven't been looking in the right place, but I haven't seen any Decals for the Liao Death Commandos.

Seriously, the Death Commandos are one of the "biggest" units in the lore. I would TOTALLY buy that one...

[Snuggles Time]

A rainbow.....that's all I wanted was a rainbow...

[FireDog]

Silhouette of chess pieces, Knights, Rooks, Pawns, Bishops, Kings and Queens. Both Back and White please.

The Battle Magic lore emblem would be amazing
