I feel like the way colors are done might be kind of outdated. Used to be you would preorder a mech pack and get a bunch of cosmetic stuff like horns, hanging items, colors etc. Since we havent had a new mech pack, the only way to get colors is to just straight out buy them. There is something like 300 colors in the mechlab right now, and it would cost 500 USD or more to buy them all. I'm not expecting them all to be made super cheap or anything, or even for them to be given out but maybe we should have events reward colors? Or maybe if we complete achievments or something we can get colors as a reward instead of paltry amounts of C-bills. Just an idea, just seems odd to lock off colors behind such a large paywall at 7 bucks a pop.

But colours are being awarded during events. Just the last event had colours and camo patterns as rewards.

Well dang, i wasnt around for that event. Back when i played alot i didnt see color rewards at all. But even this huntsman event is rewarding some colors.
