I would just like to recommend that they add a way for us to quickly set all mechs in the garage with the same paint colors at the same time. So I don't have to go in and change them one at a time. much like what you can do in MW5. Would love to see it added eventually.

I suppose not everyone is interested in artistic paintjobs and just wants something better than the stock color. Most of my mechs are a combination of blacks and greys as that is the best color combo to blend in with most environments.

I too put all of my mechs into the same colour scheme as well as all use the Clan Wolf decal somewhere on the mech.

I wouldn't mind seeing this little QoL put into the game, but it wouldn't break my heart if they never did get around to it either.

It's a great idea but
Won't work, because camo and colours are seperate purchases for each mech type.
Not to mention (last I looked) faction camo, don't switch over ifrom I.S to Clan, or vesa versa.

why would you want all mechs in the same color?
that's so boring.


For me if I want to represent a "unit", then it would be helpfull to select all the mechs that should have the same units color and apply it rather then to go through all of them to apply manualy.

Also a button to strip cockpit items from all mechs.

The only way I could see this working is if it worked with a check box system, where you could select which mechs you wanted to change paint jobs at once, with certain limitations.
First limitation, if you can also choose the camo pattern, then cannot include Clan if any are IS, and vice versa, unless faction camo patterns are disabled.
Second limitation, assuming again you can choose the camo pattern, you cannot buy a camo pattern unless all mechs selected are of the same chassis, this would keep players from accidentally buying more then intended.
Third limitation, you cannot select a mech that has three colour slots if one only has two colour slots, and vice versa.
Fourth limitation, Bolt-ons and Decals are disabled. Bolt-ons being disabled is for two reasons, first is the added cost, plus the fact some are just not compatible, like one variant can take this Bolt-on, but another variant of the same chassis cannot, and the other reason is the colour changing like in the Third limitation. Decals being disabled is more for how they would be placed differently between chassis, and in some cases variants.
