Every Clan mech including the Clan Bullsharks. Doesn't include the tech swaps like the Gausszilla and Dragoons mechs

Releasing a clan mech pack today, 5/20, of all days. A patch and a clan pack without a single mention of Tukayyid.
A wasted opportunity. A clan pack, on "Clanners got their butts kicked by a phone company" Day.
Any nod to the source material, which is in the middle of a revival of sorts, is completely dead now, isn't it. Sad. Not unexpected, but sad none the less.

While I like the idea of the Clan Galaxy Pack, this is something I cannot throw money at. However, I do see the opportunity on improving these to make this concept better. Here are my thoughts on the good and bad of this pack, along with some opportunities that count improve this idea of a pack.

The Good (with some suggestive opportunities):
Despite my pass on it, I do believe are some good opportunites that PGI can do with it.
1. There is an opportunity for this sort of thing. If PGI wanted they could make this like platinium mechs where each month, a clan chassis would get a new galaxy skin for that chassis.
2. Along with the paint schemes, PGI could also add Galaxy logos that you could buy in game as decals to go with that.
3. It also gives love to the Clan Galaxies and could also be used to add new Clan Galaxy Schemes, like the Nova Cat Alpha Galaxy or the Smoke Jaguar Delta Galaxy for example.

The Bad:
These are the reasons of why I will not touch Clan Galaxy Pack. If PGI does improve on this though, I'll definately consider buying a pack.
1. Aside from Vau Galaxy (which looks really good btw), the rest of the schemes look really lazy.
2. The fact that buying one skin unlocks it for the rest of the chassis. I do hope that PGI can go the "Premium Mech" route with the same galaxies skins for different chassis, like Silverroot Kodiak, Silverroot Timberwolf, etc.
3. I know I'm a stickler for detail, but these schemes have no care and detail put into them. I mean, you are telling me that the devs could not bother to go to sites like Camospecs or the Unit Color Compendium to recreate their classic schemes? It's pretty sad when Mechwarrior 5: Clans puts in more detail and effort into their Galaxy Schemes than MWO does.
Clan Ghost Bear's Delta Galaxy is a cheap knockoff brand of the vagabond scheme.


This is not Clan Wolf's Delta Galaxy Scheme:


This is:


Even I can do a better job to replicate that:


PGI remember, Camospecs is your friend. Use it.

Although, I will say this. Despite this being a hard pass for me, I do believe that this pack concept has potential if PGI decides to expand on this concept and fix the schemes. If they do that, then I can see myself getting one.

Yea, they could've done a much better job. As I suspected, this is a cash grab, and nothing else. The only skin they did justice to was the Vau Galaxy of Clan Jade Falcon and the Silverroot Keshik. Other than that a bismal job. This is a miserable attempt at doing something, and it failed. Miserably, so.

[Sonsofabastages]

I’m a bit confused by some of your feedback. By purchasing this pack, you get all the skins on all clan mechs. Are you suggesting we fragment the pack more like how platinum mechs were done? Wouldn’t that just be milking the player for more money compared to this current pack format? Compare something like purchasing platinum packs to cover all clan mechs compared to this pack, the price difference is significant.

The Ghost Bear Delta skin is not based on the vagabond skin in any way, but I can see why some would come to that conclusion.

I am aware of what the mech camos on unit color compendium and camo specs look like, I frequently go there for inspiration. But, to be frank, sometimes the lore camos just look bad. If they do, I’m not afraid to touch them up or redesign them if they don’t meet the cut. The original Ghost Bear Delta Galaxy skin was one of those where I ended up throwing the idea out the window. I’d say this skin was actually more inspired by GB Kappa Galaxy than anything else, but I needed a Delta Galaxy skin as I was filling out the invasion roster for the Clans DLC. As for Clan Wolf Delta, it is just the Unit Color Compendium skin with softer shapes compared to the more canyon style shapes they have. So I’m confused on that one, am I supposed to look at that website? Jade Falcon Phi and Ice Hellion Zeta are also heavily based on Unit Color Compendium, so was it wrong to look at those too? I’m confused because it feels like the goalposts are shifting here.

As for the comment on Clans skins vs MWO skins, I’m the artist for both. A lot of these skins I hope to bring into Clans when applicable, just as I hope to bring some skins I made in Clans to MWO when I have the chance. If you have any concrete examples of quality difference between Clans and MWO skins, I’d love to see them. I’m really curious since both sets were made by me.

As for the Silveroot Kodiak, that was on my first draft. But the KDK-1(S) already exists from the Kodiak collectors pack and that has the OG Silveroot on it. I didn’t want to practically duplicate a mech for this pack.

I’d love to keep exploring galaxies for other clans. Hell’s Horses, Clan Coyote, Steel Viper, and Nova Cats are particular interests of mine that I would be eager to get down on paper. But this skins pack was an unsanctioned project which means I was working on it during my spare time between tasks. I’ve had this pack on the back burner since November and it’s pretty much been a labor of love to explore these ideas on all these mechs. As much as I would love to do a round 2, I’m not sure when I’ll find time again as I get more task loaded as we look to more future content. My hope was that positive reception to this pack would be enough for more time to spent on projects like this.

[killkimno]

have any plans to release it on Steam?

[Tiy0s]

Unfortunately, this pack cannot be released on steam. It’s an old database limit on how many IDs we can have in a single steam pack and this one is just too big. Each skin on each mech is one ID.

As much as I would love to do a round 2, I’m not sure when I’ll find time again as I get more task loaded as we look to more future content.

I want to be a bit more ellaborate on what I meant. I did not like Galaxy Skin concept because at first I read how it only goes on one mech like if you buy the Silverroot Arctic Wolf, then it only available for that chassis at first. But the more I thought about it, I saw the opportunity of Clan Galaxy skins concept being patterned around the concept like the Platinium Mechs in a way that could be extended monthly to each chassis. For example: The Clan Nova Cat Alpha Galaxy Timber Wolf Scheme would only be available on that mech, but as months go by, the CNC Alpha Galaxy gets extended to the Summoner then the Gargoyle and so on. I would love to see each Clan Galaxy represented though.

As for me, being a lore junkie, I wasn't a fan of how Clan Wolf's and Ghost Bear's Delta Galaxy scheme looked. I felt like they were a lazy attempt a scheme instead of genunine passion of effort and love for the source material of the schemes like in MW5: Clans. CGB's MWO Delta Scheme looked like a ripoff of Vagabond and CW's Delta Scheme didn't look like it's lore based one. I know that I can be a stickler for detail when it comes to lore. So I apologize for coming across as harsh, I do get a bit passionate about BT lore sometimes.

Still, despite what I said, I do believe that this Galaxy Scheme Concept is still pretty good. Given the fact you can use the opportunity to make new Clan galaxy schemes like the CJF Gamma Galaxy or the CW Wolfkin Keshik. Especially if you patterned the concept like the Platinium Mechs with more clan chassis being added to the Galaxy Patterns and I could see myself picking one up in the future if that was the case. I think you can really sell it if you give us Galaxy Decals, Badges, Colors, Titles, etc to really sweeten the deal like the Mechpacks or Legendary Mechs.

EDIT: I read about CW Delta Galaxy and saw that it did state how, only the parade scheme uses the black triangles. So on that part I messed up and I apologize to you on that one. I was thinking of the parade Scheme on the Delta Scheme that I saw on the miniatures from Camospecs thinking that was the primary skin. As much as I call myself a BT lore junkie, not even I know enough of the unit schemes and need to learn more. So that one is my fault.

When it comes to CW's Delta Galaxy Scheme. They were right on the money.PGI was doing the parade version of the Delta Galaxy's Scheme not the main one. But CJF's Vau Galaxy and CGB's Silverroot Keshik do look fire though.

[Meatbag in the tincan]

Screenshot looks meh but ingame texture is way better than I thought. I love it!
I think I'll be decorating mechs and not playing any games for a while maybe.

[Meatbag in the tincan]

And the location of the claw marks is a bit disappointing for me compared to that of mechwarrior 5 clans.



But the others? Looks great for Kodiak.
In my opinion, If you want to sell more this pack, you should upload image of all the other clan mechs camo.
Am I the only one who is satisfied with purchase?

Edited by Meatbag in the tincan, 21 May 2025 - 03:52 AM.

And this one is for warhammer iic

I'm very satisfied, but I can't upload any more because I'm lazy

They look mid cause of the images for them in the store page imo, in game they look way better.

The images for them in the store page make them look in the range of mid to alright for some reason, but they look really good and very high quality in the screenshots Meatbag in the tincan posted here, so I went and checked it ingame myself with mechdb to get build codes to see a preview and I can tell tiyos put a lot of work into them, they look amazing.

I am considering picking it up for myself now that I have seen them in game and I know how good they actually look.

I love your work, man . And I´m curious with what you´ll come up in the future. I definitly would buy more camo-packs. For clans as for inner sphere . Thank you for your effort.

That's what I'm saying. it's amazing ingame but definitely not in the screenshot. They made camo so well but they don't market it well so it gets misunderstood.
PGI should add some ingame camo trial.

I don't usually post on forums, but this made me do it.
