Upload or choose from a big list of flash art (like tattoo folders) and buy/paste them onto your Mech.

As a gamer i really like customizing and designing my character as much (if not more) than the butt whoopin'.

What do you guys think_

Problem is that people will abuse it and put fuzzy bunny and gross stuff on their mech.

Any time you introduce the ability for users to get creative, there's going to be a problem. And that problem usually involves fuzzy bunny being turned into a spray.

Yeah. It's not an easy decision and the consequences reach beyond just making players happy/giving players tools to hide user-uploaded content.

If need be, it could go through an approval process, though that might be unfeasible if there's a large amount of players.

However, that said, if someone had such a decal, you could always just, you know, take a screenshot and report them for it_ Of course, if it's a private server, that's up to the admin's rules...

Some how it has to be monitored, However i suggested on another thread that they could open a period where they let the hawken community Submit decals and textures which can be then reviewed but they may get over flooded!

Of course i want to support this, it's just that little extra that helps the community to feel more involved and have that special custom mech!.
This is basically a guy, and there's 3 humans here, basically trying to make a warning, you know, saying "I kill 3 humans, watch out for me."

Even though i'd love to put some custom decals on my mech, but knowing the community, i'd rather not see mechs running around with ponies slapped on them...  Or phallic symbols

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I actually made a hobby of taking screenshots of posters people would put up in Left for Dead.  Rather comical
When I've launched onto the battlefield, torn my enemies to shreds.  I stride through the field and listen, I see a ping.  I quietly take my time moving into position, it pings.  I see him...but he doesn't see me.  That feeling of making someone feel defenseless in that moment.  It is glorious!

Maybe preloaded decals_ It's have to a lot but who knows just maybe.

I'm surprised people are actually voting no to this topic.  Hope it gets bigger.  The other thread is hidden back in the CB1 Section so I imagine ti's going to get lost.

I think it would be cool if you could add logos or decals to your robot.  Like the merc decals on the mechs in mech warrior 4.
I have to agree half-life sprays were a cool idea for the game but at the same time all the abuse of it cause a lot of servers to just turn it off.
I liked having the ability to do so but joining a game and seeing goatse sprayed everywhere just isn't worth it.

i dont think that user made decals would be great, as mentioned above (mlp & the like)
on the other side i would rather see some more visual customisation like being able to color the mech in different colors or add decals like skulls or numbers & such on a mech
