If we have already paid for a colour we should be able to keep it. Not pay for it again to paint another mech.

[BaronofBeanDip]

Planetside 2 has two color types. A cheap one time only color, and a more expensive reusable color.

You could do that...That way if you have a mech you know you'll keep, you can get the one time only one and save some money.


Cockpit voices, you could pull a car gps thing and get some famous people to record voiceovers for the computer, and let people buy them. How many of you would buy a william shatner voice over for your mech's computer?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but its kind of related to pay for stuff.

Is there going to be a stats/exp wipe in the future? If so, what will happen to people who have spent MC (real money) for converting Mxp to Gxp? That is effectively clearing peoples hardearned.

i think stats like KD and whatnot are being wiped to implement the pilot rankings but everything else like xp, cbills, and any other in game stuff is supposed to never be wiped again.

[Trip Hammer]

I would pay to be able to chance my pilot name!

[Geadron Kane]

Neon and spinnerz! j/k

They could add some more customization for guilds/clans so they could have their own color/camo sets. Maybe even rank insignias....

Maybe some one shot/use items to dump heat like a coolant flush or something.

[Kaeseblock]

I'd pay for putting flags and a (custom) mech-corps logo on my battlemechs.

I definitely need the german AND the EU flag on all of my mechs.
(even though they don't belong to the BattleTech universe, but I would still pay for it *g*)

[Karl Split]

I hate light mechs in my Stalker.

I would gladly pay for a string of mini commando and raven heads hanging across the top of my mech where the happy 3050 banner was.

Think cannibals with shrunken human heads on a necklass thing.

And no, im not bitter about being slaughtered my lights ohh nooo.......

Arrrghhhh get it off me get it off meeeeeeeee #BOOM#

I'm pay all kinds of money to have Snoop say, "Incomin' missile, my nissile."

[Xeno Phalcon]

Orion Hero 'mech. (After MC prices get retooled.)

[Nowwer]

It's nice how they have some pretty detailed customization for the camo patterns and colors... that being said, it's pretty damn pricey. Not to mention that "pretty baby" costs about $30! They're going in the right direction, but they need more stuff so they can make some things cheaper. TF2's micro-transactions are the right way to do it: lure us in with small prices on individual items, so we have to purchace that $6 mc pack. I think that looking to get more people to pay for MC, rather than making people pay for MORE MC is the right way to do it. I personally don't intend to buy any at all, unless I feel like I can actually get something for that $6 besides a few colors for just one mech. I'll suffer through the mustard colored mechs until then.

[John Horrigan]

the mechs are now snot color default not mustard though ^^

ME GUSTA!

Or a PPC to the same affect. no changes in damage or anything, just the shell/bolt is a puppy or a kitty. (kitten cannon anyone?)

NYAN CAT PPC!!!

[TheSupergeek]

I would pay for:

- Spraypaint text/decals on my mech
- Colors, but not as much as the current price.
- Patterns, as long as I own them permanently per mech, e.g. I buy Phranken for my K2 and I can always put it back on the K2 any time I want after that.
- Colored lasers
- Per limb coloring
- Mechs, but not $30 apiece. Maybe $5. At $5 a pop I would not bother grinding.

Thermal based Paint scheme(s). A special paint that when applied would change the way your Mech shows up under the current Thermal imaging system.

The "Thermal Break Up" effect would be more pronounced the farther away you were from the Thermal viewer.

Example:
0-250m, pretty much a Mech outline, with some blank spots (where the thermal paint scheme was applied)

251-500m - your Mechs outline starts to break up. Your Mechs outline is at about -40% degradation. Outline now has some large breaks in it to the thermal viewer.

501-750m - your Mechs outline is very broken up. Your Mechs outline is at about -75% degradation. Outline now has more breaks than solids in it with respect to the thermal viewer.

751-1000m - No solid thermal image. Your Mechs outline is at about -90% degradation. Outline now has almost no clarity and targeting would be near impossible with direct fire weapons. To the thermal viewer your mech looks more like a smoke remnant than a target.

P.S. One thing about that special Thermal Paint though. It works just as well but to the opposite effect when in use on Hot environments.
I would pay for that.

OOOOOR, have it just grab the heat from below your feet and make you that heat level. then it doesnt have to figure it out, your just the heat of the ground.

Otherwise.

Me gusta.
