I could have sworn I responded here.
"Fix" as in affix the turret to be straight as a mount instead of a turret (MWO doesn't use turrets). The AC is far too unique looking. Swap arms for Cataphract-style arms. Remove drooping antennae (not only do they look out of place; it's a direct mirror of the original that you're trying to avoid copying). Longer forelegs. I know what you're doing with the Y-shaped feet, but honestly it's too "Catapult" and not enough "Marauder." Something a bit more unique; it's got long legs and I think it needs more support at the feet.
Laser modular slots in the arms, ones large enough so that PPCs don't look like 'shrimp sticks'.
Have you considered other cockpit locations? That'd be the largest step in making it 'unique'. Maybe one closer to the AC for the "hover the hill visibility" and aim?
Consider putting together a different variant -- the main one is the most recognizeable.
Jumpjet solution? I'm not seeing any on it.
Thing is bro, not trying to make an MWO design. No matter what anyone does, Alex will do his thing (usually for the better, lol). This is purely Battletech.
