90% of my mechs have the best camo.

Which also is the favorite camo of Alexander

We have all these wonderfully detailed battlemechs and more to come for months and month if not years.. Yet here we sit with the same 20 common shared (IS and Clan can sport) camo patterns and 10 faction camo patterns.

This should be a no-brainer... The soft operational cost -to- net profit is heavily in PGIs favor

There are quite literally thousands of lore-based Regimantal camo patterns out there and PGI continues to miss the boat. I don't get it.

Why should PGI make pre-set regimental camo, when they can make players buy combination of camo + colors + decals in order to make their own? That's more profitable, with less work.

Sometimes you can approximate pretty well. I mocked up the Rasalhague Regulars unit flash with the Square and R decals, painted Steiner Blue and Resistance Red respectively. Using the Fractal pattern with Light Camo Tan over Kurita Green and Resistance Red approximates the Succession War era Rasalhague units' camo fairly well.

Oh, no doubt... Yet still, there's others that just can't be approximated and my experience is it's those that I want most.

Yeah, I know... camo patterns are meaningless in terms of game-play and concealment. That said, I don't beautify my mechs for play purpose. I do it to please "me".

(And to address my OCD by all my mechs sporting the same camo)

Can I possibly be the only mechwarrior not content with my Regimental Paint Schemes "kind'a sort of looking like the actual lore-based scheme... but not?

I'll go so far as to infer that less and less patterns are being purchased because the present stable has grown stale, are lack-luster and are overtly generic. I'm not even going to mention the ones that have been changed for the worse since their original inceptions.

Thoughts?

thats a very Old Idea from the first Days by the Founders ...many many Years ago..each Pattern like a Map cost 25K $ all artists have many to work with many other Problems ...new Mechpackpatterns ,not have Time for Maps or Unit Patterns..thats not HBS or a other company for Games
