It says on the FAQ that we'll be able to customize our paintjobs and decals. What kind of selection will we have? I want to know if I'll be able to paint my mech the same color as my favorite pony.

[Elizander]

If it's anywhere near what you can do in APB Reloaded then I think a lot of people will be happy. They put ponies on their cars there with some sort of decal system.

HURRY GRAB THE FLAMERS!

*cough cough*
anyhow....

I'd like to be able to tweak paint to a considerable extent... but for a completely different reason.

...
maybe a kilt on an atlas, or a tail on an Uller/kitfox, or just drawing lighting shaped things on my PPCs.

[Thorn Hallis]

As long as there is enough black in it I'm happy.

[Zervziel]

Indeed. I'd like to paint my mech a nice dark blue. Maybe a stripe of lighter blue going from the back of the head down the bak of the mech. Add in some small white stars to that stripe. Then maybe put a crescent moon on the side of the legs at the top.

Hopefully you have all the controll you want on your own machine but not to hurt my eyesite.

I want my blue & gold Archer

I like that picture. <3 <3

The graphics for mechs will hopefully all reside client side (fingers crossed), this means easy custom usermade skins.

A multi-layered paint approach with say 3-4 layers per limb then a decal layer that goes on the top of it all would likely be plenty for most people.

Ty, I now know which targets I will be painting first in my scout for LRM volleys and primary targets!

[King of Nipples]

As long as I may embroider my 'mech with nipples, I'll be happy.

[Dlardrageth]

Don't forget about the paintjobs sponsored by the adult industry. *cough*

Interestingly enough, when BT was "conceived", stuff like piercings i.e. were pretty much a non-issue in public. That having changed, with a complete freedom in paintjobs, we could see some rather "interesting" ones on the battlefield... As in "never envisioned by the creators of BT", hehe.

Well, there are always mercenary bands. They can afford paint, and probably have enough imagination to slap it on a 'mech. I'm rather new to this franchise, so I'm not sure if canon is an issue here at all.

Again, the nipples will keep me sated.

Unfortunately very little is known about this aspect of the game and is something I am eagerly awaiting as well.

It would be great if they had a skin system like say Forza 4 or something like that however I think that would allow far too much freedom to abuse (think naked pinup girls or giant F.U icons or whatever).

The logo generator will probably be two fold; one will be preset (you can paint your house logos on your mechs etc. etc.) and the second will be a system much like EVE had in the early days. A few layers where you could slap in premade elements and hope that it looks half decent.

As for the paint jobs itself? That I can't see them restricting too much since color can't really get you in trouble. I am sure we will see a great deal of hot pink MLP machines out there!

[Elizander]

I really don't play APB Reloaded but their decal customization system is amazing and I hope we get something like it for MWO. Here are links to a couple of videos on how these logos are made using the game.

Yeah, because we all know it......

[Caballo]

For god's sake, What is this, a war game or a street ricing game?

I swear if i see a battlemech with a purple paintscheme and a pony in my team, i'm gonna unload all my weapons on it, just to punish its pilot's lack of good taste. Period.

You gotta leave the pony lovers alone. Personly i hope for us to be able to submit custom logos to the dev for a small fee for our Merc Corps to use after being vetted by the devs for indecent content and paint jobs for the meks having a custom paintjobs for mercs again so they can be identified on the field as different frm the house units they are working for. Also wouldnt mind the ability to add pinups on my mek like they used to do on WW2 bombers and the such obviously nothing to revealing but it would be nice.
