Now maybe I am just blind,(it has been speculated) but have the Devs specified whether one will be able to name one's mech or not?
(I crave to name a Vindicator Avenging Angel)

[Mason Grimm]

Not that I have seen, no. But feel free. You can call it "Trixie the Wonder Vindicator" if you like.

[osito]

idk if they would allow it at start of game maybe later. i hope they at least allow us to customize our chest art, so we can name .

[Demi-Precentor Konev]

If such an option exists, I'm going to get a RFL-3C Rifleman and name it Hagen.

And this is why I hope seeing other people's mech's names is optional

Me too!
Honestly, I think naming your mech is sily, and I just don't wanna see 5 "Yen Lo Wang" Centurions in the same game (for example)

It's not like people's IFFs would broadcast the name of their mech for example. A mech is a tool, it's used to kill other mechs, it's like naming a tablesaw.

It's not unusual for a soldier to have named their gun, I'd imagine a mechwarrior would get attached to their mech seeing as they may have to spend days in it at a time depending on what they're doing.

WWII pilots named thier bombers,and also gave them nose art.

A few pre-made decals for would be nice but would have to keep in mind that mom or dad may wander by while Johnny is running around. Having them see highly objectionable content is probably not in the business plan.

If it ever makes it into the game it will probably be simple and safe - no text, a few decals and dev team created/approved paint jobs.

Or a bit more freedom and a report button, that'd be much more fun.

Would love to deploy an Atlas named the 'War Crime'

Well now I wouldn't go that far. People often give their cars nicknames. Sometimes names just evolve. We call our tractors by names partly just to tell them apart easily and partly because my son named them when he was little.

Now you take a vehicle that seems to have it's own personality, and is the only thing between you and the people trying to kill you, and I think most people will come up with a name.

I'm just a big RP ***** and so don't want to see stupid names. Silly is one thing, no accounting for taste but names that are basically just there for trolling purposes.....

You are in for a shock then.

I hope seeing the names will be optional, yes. I've been around long enough to know that some people have a very low sense of humour. And even more people are just out to offend as much as they can get away with.

I hope the King Crab gets announced soon, 'cause I'm gonna name mine "Served with Butter"

[Ravn]

Whatever she is, I'm calling her "Insert name here." ya, nOOb pride.
