My idea was the addition of customisable and changeable gun shields. Players would be able to mount the shields you see on the Vulcan and Hawkins, in addition to completely new shields, on other weapons. Each weapon would have two slots for shields and weapons that already have a shield in their default look will have extra shields placed differently. Some new shields should be larger and cover the arm as the current gun shields are tiny and don't look like they would do much even if they weren't cosmetic. I'm trying to get a "tanky", "well-armoured" look (heavies just look really clumsy and top heavy so I use mediums).

In addition, have you ever considered extra armor plate cosmetics? Like the gun shields, Hepten and Hiefram reactive armor, and the Muller middle spaced armor but placeable on mechs independent of other items?

People them selves invent ways to be proud owners of even more virtual goods  :sweat:  what a weird world.

 

As an artist i should say such a thing should've been planned from the concept stages.. Most of those added shoulder thingies on a classes look really bad. But there are chassis/thingie combinations that work..

 

edit:

this here chassis/shoulder combination i like alot but i had to buy those for moneyz, See how it covers front. That was unexpected when i first saw it ingame. Maybe it was intentional that originals had to be a bit ugly.. Anyways having different spots to place such things would add alot of variety to customization.

I feel that's a personal preference though. For instance, all my friends think my taste in a car's looks is atrocious but I still love the way some look despite that. I think any cosmetic options that can set an individual's mech apart from others is a wondrous thing. People want to be unique, want to be different. To look different. I can tell you, there is nothing more striking to me visually in game than when you can get a regular painted part of a mech to look good paired with the mech's elite parts.

 

Much like the grenades turning into gift wrapped boxes on Last Eco Winter, I would love to have weapons with different visual effects, or even weapons that could look slightly different than they normally would, but not too much. A lot of this game is reliant on sensory info you get on the fly like quick radar signatures or footsteps when you have a headset on.

 

My personal favorite idea is a Flak Cannon that fires a burst of confetti in addition to the shots when you fire it. Do you hear me reloaded?! I'm counting on you seeing this one, little idea and I'm really hopeful it could become a thing.

give it time.  RLD may eventually loosen up to the idea of community-concept submission/adoption--as it was Off Limits discussion years ago.  or: we may consider our PC-Howken selves fortunate if we get to keep any customization at all.
