MWO has faction patterns for all 6 great houses of Inner Sphere and 4 out of 7 invading clans. I think it is time to get some new camo patterns based on BattleTech lore and minor factions.

First of all i would really opt to bringing in MWO camo patterns for reamaining 3 invading clans (personally i would really love Nova Cat camo pattern). I have a feeling that they were supposed to be added, but for some reason this was just not done, and they never were added with no particular reason. Would be great if this weird shortcoming would have been fixed one day.

Secondly i would argue that camo patterns for minor factions of Inner Sphere / Periphery is also worth adding. I would be happy to have something like a Taurian Guard camo pattern, with golden fragments (that are supposed to be on it, not because i just love gold) having metallic texture similar to Rasalhague camo pattern or BL-6-KNT "partisan" hero mech's golden camo fragments. Would be very cool.

And lastly, i feel like MWO could use some more of "generic" geomentrical patterns, because for now it is rather hard to make some decent camo patterns resembling battletech lore with so uninspiring and overly-specifically themed stuff like "Sherman", "Crusader", "Hot Rod" and other almost completely unfitting camo patterns. Would love some simple "Bi-Color/Tri-Color", simplistic patterns with "Base" Color taking most if mech's model with some small parts being colored in different "aspect" colors, some simple checkers and etc. Its just satisfyling to have your mechs represent a specific unit from Battletech lore, if you can do or afford that, but with current super-specific camo patterns mechs often look kind of out of the setting, alien overly silly. Having more camo patterns could make tinkering with mechs more satisfying for players, while also could bring more money to PGI. I think it is a win-win.

I am annoyed at the lack of metallic colors. At the very least Bronze. I could understand maybe not implementing Silver as it would be similar to Platinum, and also Gold. But I would like to see various colors with a metallic sheen.

I would like to more accurately replicate CWIE Omega paint schemes in-game..

Oh yes, i would REALLY love to have a bronze mech, colored in my favourite metal's color. And at least basic "metallic" camo theme would be nice, i love how most of clan omnimechs' default patterns look like, having something like this for most of mechs would be really cool, even if this would be not colorable.
