I have Played many Multi-Players. I have found that I love to Customize..with that said, I believe it would be awesome if we were able to add custom icons or stickers onto Mechs. These icons,stickers, whatever you want to address them as can also  be reflected in Taunts. Battle Scars, would also be a neat idea these could be added to any part of mech. I also thought about adding colored under carriage lights.

Please use the search function next time before you post a new topic because this has definitely shown up before and has been answered.

My opinion: I like the idea of customizing mechs to your own preferences, but I'd rather the game be in full launch, meaning all the core features of the game are pretty much solidified and the devs don't have anything utterly crucial to the game to tweak and add, before they add very superficial things like stickers or colored lights.  It's really insignificant compared to the overall balance of the game, which is more imminent to fix than cosmetics.  Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have this, but only after everything else is pretty much set.  I'm sure the devs feel the same way, I hope

I like "Stompy" the way he is.(Stompy is my baby)(which in turn is my rocketeer)(it shoots rockets)(kind of self explanatory)(if you look at it from a weird angle)(in a good way though)(that is enough parantheses)(however the ell you spell parantheses)(*insert text here*)

was just told to by a personal from Hawken so i did. Im  so glad you keep up with everything as an advanced member. I hope to Continue the convos by posting new topics in a different light on any topic weather it is listed in forums or not, and will continue to advance my opinion. . A lot of people like to customize as they see fit weather everyone would like to customize or not weather it adds to the overall performance or not. Customizing Your Battle Mech is a form of ownership.  weather you find it worth your timeor not one person doesn't detour many people from still wanting custom there Mech, especially when, if, or have Purchaed Mech. BTW a Developers Job is never SET, You are always working on enchantments, bugs , fixes anything. I have Game tested a lot of closed betas, betas and in house games for developers and software engineers. believe me they are not finished until the final product implemented. And we do not feel same way.

Maybe a better phrase to say instead of "set" is when the game is in full launch. Not Open Beta, where there are still quite a few core features missing.  I'm sure devs are always busy, but I'd prefer it when such features come when the rest of the game's core features, like the party system, clan support, etc., are set (or at least are available in-game), not the whole game.  But I definitely 100% support your idea

#True Boss, but let me ask you, have you purchased a custom layer mesh for you mech or custom color strip _ if so then you do optimize your experience with custom styles. My Mod would be an easy layer effect on an already implement model layer system. the only real issue would be the implementation of the design engine to customize your Mech. Thanx,  for your support and I do openly ask for more criticism, in doing so.

[bacon_avenger]

Yep.  Been asked for..  a lot.  I've been asking for it since alpha.

The devs want to do stuff like this, but there is a huge amount of back end work to consider, design, and put into place before any of it can be done.

Or, for a starting point, how about having the player-uploaded decal be the same one that is used for our forum avatar_  There is already some kind of vetting process, being publicly viewable, so I would think it would be the 'safest' option to start with.

That's a possibility, but then there's issues with copyright/trademark violations and knowing what non-offensive content is user-created vs taken from an existing IP.  It can get messy, but that's a bridge we'll cross after we get a basic decal system available to everyone.  Baby steps

The devs do plan on customization so we can have 'our own mech', it's just going to take time and it's going to be implemented in small steps.

first things first ! and customization is (4 the moment) not one of them !

Be patient, there's a lot of unfinished work to do.
