So far, we've all been enjoying the fact that we can apply our PC Gamer skins on every mech we'd like to have it on. What are the chances that we can design and purchase a Camo pattern, save it to our Camo spec and then take it off or apply it whenever we like to whichever make we like. I'd like to design a couple standard patterns that I can apply to each mech, one for Kurita, one for the 9th Sword, and some custom ones for myself.

Probably pretty low from what we've been told so far. I think you'll see a lot of people buy camo once and then never again.

I'd actually pay more MC for the Camo if it worked in the manner in which I described. If the pattern is a single use, single mech paint spray, which will be gone forever once another is chosen, I may not ever use it.

Don't really blame you,spending MC for a one use paint job does sound over expensive. The rumor I heard was it'll cost MC to create a paint job but it'll be yours to keep to change out at will. Personally that is what I'm hoping for.

Much like custom skins in other F2P games I wouldn't be surprised to see Lore based skins pop up in a similar vein to how the Wang is in game for mechs. You'd have skins for the houses, particular merc outfits and so on plus we'll get our own "choose a pattern then colour it in" type deal with each one costing MC

There will be paint options avaialble for for MC and CB. It's possible that painting your mech may cost you CB every time you change it (pay per spray) as opposed to custom camo spec being an item you can bank (like the PC gamer skin).

I would use MC for a 1 time paint as long as was just a few MC.

Anything over 50 cent I would not buy. ;)

If you can design and keep a color scheme to apply to any mech, sales will increase exponentially. We would also be able to design a regimentary color design that most everyone in the unit will buy.

My whole problem lies in the way it sounds like, once you repaint, the old one is gone forever.

I do not expect that I can use the same print for free and swap them out among every mech I own, but I SHOULD be able to decide I want to go back to the other print without re-deigning it from scratch. Charge me everytime I change paint schemes if you must, but at least allow me to save my art.

maybe for their favorite Mech and then never again.

But that person likely wouldn't have bought more than one anyways. He would have bought one and then applied that one to all his Mechs.

Whats the difference? The guy only buys it once in both scenerios.
