Terciel (or anyonw else),
Are the colors provided via the "faction colors" of the various mech packs cannon though?
Example: the FRR blue, and red and orange shown in the Resistance packs...does that have some lore association? Those folks with an interest in such things that I have seen in matches usually (keeping with the FRR example) have their mechs painted in black and some version of blue-green (ala the FRR shield). Is the blue/red/green pattern of the Resistance mechs a random MWO creation or does it have some BT meaning/origin?
Just wondering.
I'm not much of a lore guy either, but I recently picked up the latest edition of the TT boxed set. That includes a faction painting guide, which gives a kind of a TL;DR of what "most" units in each faction tend to use.
It basically confirms that the colours included in the faction packs are indeed typical ones:
Davion: greens, but also red, white, and-blue
Kurita: flat reds, but also white, grey and black
Liao: stereotypically green, but as likely to use red -- also metallics
Marik: purple, but also green and white
Steiner: blue, but also green, tan, and white
Rasalhague is not included though.
I'm sure some loremaster will be around to elaborate.
