This is needed!! and perhaps an ash tray and some empty bottles of booze please (for cockpit interior). Would be greatly appreciated by many.

Inspiration.


I would pay MC for something like this!

Or modern/future it up with the beautiful girls from Suicide Girls.. cross promotion goodness!

I can post inspiration for that too if that is what it takes to win you devs over!!

Bump for all that is good in this world!!



Pin up girls for cockpits!!

[Thirdrail]

That would be cool. It would be neat on the side of mechs, like the old WWII bomber splash art, too.

I still think the in-cockpit banners/posters/etc would actually work better as wallpaper for the the little No Signal screen than being stuck way off on the side where no one will ever see them.

[Bhael Fire]

I was just thinking of this the other day; I really want a WWII bomber-style cheecake pinup painted on the exterior side of my mech's cockpit. This would be freakin' awesome.

THIS ^^^

How can we have that big-ol' bomber-nose of a Stalker and no nose art to paint it?

What about all of the player-base that like looking at men instead of women?

If this is implemented, we should make sure to have an equal amount of tasteless pin-ups of buff dudes.

I'm no Battletech lore expert, but I'm fairly certain that there is no stigma against female pilots in the Battletech universe. To be true to canon, and to be fair and not sexist, we definitely need cheesecake photos of firemen in speedos or something.

Something along lines of this:

One the most legendary mechwarriors of all time was female.

However, mirror logic doesn't always apply; and this is one of those occasions. There's something laughable and emasculating about seeing a dude in his underwear. It appeals to femininity. Whereas seeing a cheesecake pinup appeals to masculinity.
Female mechwarriors are not pansies or feminine. They are hardened and deadly adversaries that would see it as an insult that someone would even suggest such a thing.

Those are some real nice words you have there, but I don't think they mean anything. Do you have any sources to prove that a male pinup is emasculating? As a straight male, I can understand why I might laugh at a cheesecake photo of a guy, but I don't think I can carry my logic over to the viewpoint of a straight woman.

You're a long way from home. You're in a war and you might die the next time you go into battle. It seems perfectly reasonable that you'd want to look at a drawing or photo of someone you find sexually attractive, regardless of gender or how battle hardened you are.

Of course, that is only from a canon perspective. From a non canon perspective, we've got coconut monkeys, Nvidia fairies in bustiers, and santa atlas's as cockpit flair. If you are going to include cheesecake photos of women, you might as well appeal to the rest of your market and put some guys in there for those who want them. It can only make PGI more money, and if you don't want a sexy fireman in your cockpit, you are free to choose Betty Page instead.

Sure, whatever. I don't have a problem with it...just saying that it most likely won't sell. Mainly because the psychology behind the appeal of bomber girls is much different than the psychology behind sexy fireman calenders.

Although...it might be kinda funny to steamroll your opponent in mech adorned with a buff dude wearing a g-string.

I agree, I would pay for that.

[The Governator]

we need to get the devs attention so... perhaps more?

[PapaKilo]

We already know that they plan on having decals on specific parts of 'Mechs. It's unlikely that the pinup idea isn't on the 'to do' list.

[FerrolupisXIII]

i like it, i'm down for them on the outside more than anything. will be sure to send you the 3010 pinup girl calendar from my dad's hunchback though hahahaha

I agree totally with this.

And fraggles. What if I want a fraggle on my mech? How about mini jenners. Each time I kill one, another is on the barrel of my gun? like this:
IIIII IIIII IIIII II
Started silly but you know.... a mark for every hundred mechs killed would be cool.

[Goreshade]

Supported,

Would be nice to have more COCKPIT flare. If you know what I mean? Any who, mustang pilots back in the day would paint a lady on the sides of their planes. So make this happen already PGI.

Also support my upgrade suggestion for MWO and check out my post for the Triple-Strength Myomer.

3rd row, 3rd picture from the left ...but seriously, i wonder how i will see my enemies while this picture sticks at my frontscreen... O.O

[Sears]

If PGI allowed pin up girls surely they'd have to do pin up guys for the people that are that way inclined.

Besides this is the 31st century, a time of tolerance and continuous galactic warfare.....wait a minute.

What about the goons too, i'm not even going to try and search for Tetatae pin ups.

[Bigbaddaboom]

yes WWII style pinups would be sweet
