I dunno if this belongs into general discussion, but lets start it here.

I wonder, why the Jester got large Laser quirks, because I see no benefit of choosing it over a large pulse setup. Not 2x Llaser and 4 MLaser, nor 4 LLaser is in any situation better as my mostly used 3 LPulse Jester.

Would be great if it gets cooldown and heat reduction for the Lpulse.

And please, add additional arms HP for the catapult A1.

Then what I don't understand, why giving the BJ Arrow AC20 quirks, aren't there another BJ who can run an AC20? The guys who spend money for the arrow didn't do it because of the AC20 anyway.


Thats so far.

Did aroow do bad without quirks? I think the point of that quirk is to make another viable build, not only 4x AC or twin UAC5. Btw, how many IS mediums do we have, that can combine AC20 with XL engine?

You can even put an AC20 into a raven. It's not about making something better, it's about why adding a quirk, if you don't use it? It's like giving a Spider a Gauss quirk....

I wonder why the Cataphract got side torso buff quirks. Maybe it's my play style, but even with all the torso twisting I can manage, I don't think I've ever taken damage anywhere on my Cats except the CT. It's a free XL chassis, I don't think it needs any help against oblique damage.

Well, it could work, if it were -25/25% weight AND heat for AC2....

The weirds quirks I found so far is that on a Orion-K. Who will ever use Mlaser, Missiles, or an Ultra Ac on a K, the best Laser Plattform the IS got.

A spider with a Gauss quirk would provide some cool builds ;)

Who knows why some mechs recieved certain quirks.

I watched a little bit of the last NGNG streaming game play on YouTube and Sean Lang mentioned that some mechs will get their quirks rebalanced or changed all together. He didn't give any details, but I'm sure some popular WTF quirks will be getting looked at.

Maybe the Catapult K2 will get its PPC buffs it needs.

I no longer want that. This works really well.

I run a dual A/C 10 build I really like. The quirks plus the A/C10 cool down and range modules make it really nice.

Still, I would love yo have some really good high mounted PPCs.
