Alarmingly similar. Painting all my mechs completely white makes it easier for people to find me.

They used to be white and orange on my Clan account. As seen in my sig. But there's something about the all white I cannot resist.

I couldn't do it. Straight white, that is.



No way in hell I'm pure enough to pull that off.

I actually got the idea from Dan Abnett's novel "Blood Eagle", which is about aerial warfare in Warhammer 40,000. The supreme bad guys were all aces flying white aircraft, which I found to be pretty cool. Normally you expect baddies to pilot something red or black. I thought it was pretty cool that he picked white as the colour for the ultimate evil antagonist. Sort of like white storm troopers in Star Wars.

So... no "purity" needed. It's not a wedding dress.

Excuse me, but have you seen some of the things in Battletech? I mean, look at the Ostsol.



Abysmal eyesores are a tradition in Battletech.

Id love to skin up my Warhawk Prime, but PGI insists on keepin the (I) mechs in their bland, boring and featureless, default birthday suits...

No leave thay one behind...there are many mechs from that era that should stay in the dark for a long time....they would flop hard in MWO.

I dare you to find the post in this thread that called for the Ostsol in MWO.

I was just showing my appreciation for the design. I have a soft spot of 'eye sores.' I guess.

The catapult is a mech that is really impossible to make ugly.

I guess I will have to show you how a pro does it.

They do look sharp. Just wondered if IS/Clan were different.

[Vellron2005]

WOW, I've seen some truly awesome creations here.. Gotta go play in the mechlab myself, and see what I come up with..

Yeah, especially since its the corner stone of properly scaled mechs now. THAT is how big a 65t should be. Now make them all around that size based on thier tonnage and this game would get interesting.
