Resistance pack rewards?

I'd be mad about not being able to repaint the (R) mechs but they're just absolutely perfectly set up for a red/white/blue colorscheme, it makes me feel so free to drive them.

 

Right, but I'm looking to put my Steiner paint on the mechs I actually use and I don't want to have to buy the non-pack versions of the mechs just to put the paint on them. That sucks.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I wanted to put my two Superchicken 3L's in Steiner colors but I can't.... I thought we could apply these to all of our mechs. I am guessing that is "on the drawing board"?

 

Grrrrr... just realized the King Crab skin is not part of the faction rewards; why would they use it to advertise it?

Does anyone have this skin yet? Did you buy it and apply it to non-(L) KCs?

I've got TWO (L) sitting in my mech bay that are equally outfitted with UAC5s and completely moduled/fitted. Guess I'll have to strip them and buy non-(L)s

 

Resistance is one of the few I don't mind not getting to reskin. It has three color channels and has a striking setup. That said...yeah, I definitely wish we could re-pattern ALL the mechs.

While I also selected all six faction packs, I'll probably be using the Steiner skin the most unless actually reskinning for a CW drop-deck while aligned to another faction (I'm a dirty merc, deal with it). It's rockin'!

 

You can apply the paint to all your mechs, though? My Protector right now is rocking the sickest Rasaulhague colors, and I spent literally an hour the other day going through and repainting all my battle-ready mechs with the new paints.

 

@RNIntegrity, I think @Michael means the camo scheme.

There are no mechs you cannot paint to some degree, but any special variant mech cannot have its cammo changed, that has always been the case as far back as the pheonix mechs, and possibly the very first hero mechs, I don't know why it comes as a suprise to you.

 

Way back you cannot repaint any of the hero, not even color change. But I think you maybe right about them unlocking coloring before the phoenix. Well, they unlock it back in UI 1.0 days.

 

It comes as a surprise due to the fact that the skins are part of the package; a package meant to promote the next steps to true community warfare. They have never done that before. I had finally thought PGI would have their shit together but apparently not.

 

Except they have. With the clan wave 2 mechs, which came with clan patterns and colours. The patterns cannot be applied to the invasion (I) variant of the clan mechs. They may not have their shit together yet, but they are consistent at not getting their shit together

 

I haven't soiled myself with that Tin-clan filth!!!!

 

Actually you have minimal coloring freedom on clan pattern camo, basically you can change the little stripes on it and nothing else.
Like hell would I use that piece of shit.

IS pattern camo is way better, and you can change colors actually.

 

My reply was in reference to not being able to change the camo on the (R) variants, just like you cannot change the colours on the (I) variants. I never claimed you could change the colour on the clan cammo patterns, that said I wasn't aware the clan camo patterns were so restrictive I just went CJF and did not even look to change colours.

Would be nice if they just rolled out consitency across all colours, camos and choices.

 

Speaking of general wishes and PGI, I would like the "Owned" color palette to be subsorted by color and not grouped per pack we get them from. It's getting weird looking for certain colors.

We already have the ability to look at them in the packs we got them in, it's just messy to have five different white variants all over the nonexisting scale in "Owned".
