Wow! What happened to the Hunchback cockpit? It's FUBAR!

Please tell me this is an error, this looks plain ugly.



This is a normal Hunchback:




Also all my other hunchies turned diarrhea green?! Why? To force me to spend MC on camo? Please... I'm never going to buy camo unless it's permanently unlocked for all my 'mechs to use.

Cockpit texture is bugged, but the gun has a new paintjob! I hope they are planning to do a once over for the whole mech because that right shoulder looks pretty sweet.

I'm pretty sure they are giving all the mechs that color to make them uniform. Hopefully they release the old beta skins/colors as c-bill options.

Yep, same on my Founders HBK, not found on my 3 CTF's or 3 other HBK's.

And yes, they gave it a new skin. All mechs needed a universal skin to allow for the camo/color upgrades. This is why we were limited prior to this patch, as not all mechs had the same default skin. Some of the newer mechs were good to go, but alot of the older ones needed to be redone. Kudos to the Devs for getting them all dressed in time! And as mentioned above, some colors are available with C-Bills, and of course if you have the PC Gamer skins, you would have those colors as well as an MC-free option.

Now we just need to be able to completely change the COLOURS (not the patterns, I get that) of the Hero & Founder mechs...

Hero 'mechs follow the original Battletech universe, or ideas of the staff. I believe that the ones that follow the Battletech Universe storyline should be LOCKED TO THAT COLOR SCHEME.... --OR-- if you want to take off that scheme, you loose the hero bonus. The idea of the hero mechs is that it should strike fear in the hearts of your enemies....

Founder's Battlemechs on the other hand--- keep the dark blue base color, maybe add a gold stripe, then the accents should be 100% customizable, with the patterns inlain into these areas.

Just my opinion, you don't need to agree with me because I'm right.... but it does work better that way!!!

Counterpoint:

i own the hero mech because i killed the original pilot, then spent my money upgrading it as i saw fit. Obviously there's now nothing stopping me from painting my own bloody hero camo on it.

At least we should be able to re-color the mech, but keep the original pattern, which is different than anything else (Excluding founders, which are already just a recolor and slight model tweak of the defaults, which needs changed IMO.)

Grraystorm, the idea of the hero 'mechs is that they are a way to earn c-bills faster and the unique skin is just a way to entice people into buying them.

Besides the c-bill bonus they really aren't special at all.

You should be able to repaint them, this also counts for founders 'mechs.
