Hi all.

Am i right that the ebon hawk has no specific quirks?

If not, do the Clans have a general quirk so i still have to watch what omnipods i use?

thx!

The Ebon Jaguar does not have any quirks listed on smurphy. That will probably change at some point in the future, but not by much.
The omnipods determine hardpoints so that's all you have to worry about.

Ah ok. i saw something in mechlab with 0/7 or something and 2.5% but thats it.

that is if you have the complete set, as in all 7 pods are from e.g. the prime, you get 2.5% more xp.

that is to give you a slight bonus to playing with the "stock" hardpoints

You mean all 8 pods.

1-HD
2-CT
3-RT
4-LT
5-RA
6-LA
7-LL
8-RL

The EBJ is newly released, PGI have stopped their silly practice of releasing new mechs with weapon quirks, or much quirking in general, since they don't play test them that much (to put this in perspective, the mech will have more matches within the first 2 hours after it's release than PGI can do in 2 months of play testing). Wait for a few months before the Wave III mechs get their quirks (I'm expecting sometime around December for them to get serious and near-final-for-now quirks.)

As mentioned by Rogue and Walker, that is an experience bonus to reward/encourage you to use the default omnipods.

Also, the Ebon Jaguar was deemed to be passing at first glance to not need any help. Of course, as with anything it is likely being analyzed in how it is being used and will likely be given some quirks. But preloading it with quirks out of the gate would just give them bad data.
