A quirk means it's an intentional tweak to the rules to incentive something. Example, a medium mech buff to mechs that became obsolete such as incredible torso twist that isn't supposed to be there but was put there so that people would use it.

Example, the Cataphract 3D shortly after the cataphracts first came out was 11 million. Now it's 9 million after the big earnings cutback sometime last year. The "actual" price of a Cataphract 3D is 13,612,354 . So they've been reduced several times.

Smurfy shows the price of the mech when you first select them based on MWO's current pricing formula. But when you load stock, that adjusts to reflect the stated price in game.

Yes, it's intentional. But it's still a quirk; an intentional weird trait or gimmick to give you incentive to do something.

(For some reason it double posted in the same post.)

When you use the strip mech function in smurfy's, it removes FF/Endo/DHS/Artemis upgrades intentionally, so if you were to switch it back on the first link, the price still matches up.as intended. The "cost" in the first link "removes" the standard DHS upgrade and replaces with the cost of "downgrading" (750k) and that's the number that is reflected there.

Yeah we do need more, after ECM gets tweaked: its long past derpy that pgi is avoiding ecm variants/mechs essentially because they did ECM wrong and seem too stubborn to fix it in a acceptable manner.

I'd love to see Sparky as the Griffin hero mech! http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Griffin#Unique_Variants

I agree ECM should be fixed to something other than Stealth Mode. Until then, we don't need more of them. I do not recall any other variants fitting the timeframe to be available besides the 2N.

Strange I saw an LRM20 and 3 streak launchers, I thought 4 was a bit much for a drum the size of New England sitting on its shoulder, though having seen a 4xstreak perform, i'm tempted

All 4 are not in the drum, only whatever gets slotted for the 20 tube launcher. Here is a shot of my 3M showing launcher locations with Streaks in each spot.
