Why not make customization kits for all crafted items then. Even better... how about they just make one generic crafted item.. they can just give it that question mark texture... then the buyer can make it anything they want from the radial menu. that way we wont ever have to craft anything.. we can all just make factory runs to infinity and stop with this silly armor"smith" business.
Again.. i hate this idea. We can all make armor with the exact same stats now... The only thing that keeps me interested is working to order. If the end user set the color.. We could just make one more schematic for each item stick it in the factory and be done with it. It's all about the credits anyway... right?

just cause we dont share the same view as u dosent mean u have to be nasty. we're just thinking of the consumer, 99% of the peeps buying armor want this. it is more convient for them then it is for us.

I was going for sarcastic, but certainly not nasty. i apologize if it was taken that way.
My point is that people would like the ability to change all sorts of items they buy in one way or another. Without reaching as far as i did in my previous post... If they make color kits for armor, why not make them for clothing as well? And to my underlying point of view,,,, how could armorsmiths who don't care to run make their money based solely on volume ever hope to sell any armor? We can all hit the same numbers on protects and condition. the only thing i can do that someone running all their armor in factories can't is to offer armor built to the customers color specifications. My only option would be to start making armor the way they do, which just doesn't sound fun to me.I see this as one more step toward making us no more unique ads individual armormiths than if we were NPC armor vendors. The changes made by the CU do enough toward thatend already.

After making a run of998 battle armor cores and getting ready to start 60 suits of red on white padded armor and I had no idea about this freaking bug. I'm not about to make 60 suits of crappy looking padded armor.

I know you guys have seen the factory crate mishaps. This isn't the first time we have had issues with Armor color being irregular hence we had the composite "customize color" option for the last year or so. Well let's just say I am tired of these issues re-surfacing. I amtired of hand crafting everything to get the colors right. And I am tired of color palette limits and issues which make no sense.
Instead of allowinga radial option to fix current armor and enable it on some pieces, types or portions and mess with that coding, let us get back to thinking about COLOR KITS.
It is an additional item to craft, an additional item to sell, and it will make people happy that have the mismatched colorized armor now as well as promote new armor sales.
I propose we get the ball rolling and ask for ARMOR COLOR KITS as a fix to the current issue and as a future item to sell/craft and have. Would like to get some support behind this from the armorsmithing community.
Be well.

If these are added Armorsmith shouldnt be able to colour the armor themself. Colour kits should cost pretty much resources too, so the price goes up.

I could get on board with a color kit as long as it is only useable by a master armorsmith. That way i can color all the armor you guys crank out in factories. Make it like the camp kits, where you have to certified to make it AND to use it. I would even be ok with basic colorn kits. Something along the lines of the camo kits now. I dont like the idea of the customer being able to set the color in as much detail as I can, but if they had kits that let them choose between a few basic colors, I wouldnt mind that so much.

1) Petitions never work
2) Colour kits aren't needed, just a fix to crated armour. Would hurt my business if I no longer had people making custom orders for armour they want in specific colours. And no, I don't want to be stuck doing custom orders solely for stuff with Health Enhancers as that process is the most annoying in the game...

I'm up for color kits, cause i'm sick of the women out there asking me to make custom colored armor. I was loving it when they letting people change the color on their own. That was only on composite though.

I agree with this. Color kits' sounds like something that should be in the game.
