What Kind Of Quirks Are Those On The Black Knight?
#1

I have to ask because with this level of quirks there is no way that the Black Knight could be able to compete with the current quirked mechs (not to speak about the clan ones), and I have to assume that the quirks on the Black Knight are just placeholders.
As McGral18 said, another T3 at best IS mech.

10% medium laser range boost.
20% ERPPC speed boost.
also some minor structure quirks.
I'm betting on nothing that will get it out of tier 3 with those hardpoints.

350M MLs, with a couple LPLs?
Not terrible, just not the best. Lack of Heat Gen hurts it most, or general structure. Hitboxes TBD.

Same kind of quirks as the Grasshopper. Generic energy quirk in small amounts. Honestly, it has been a bit of a let down. ERPPC heat reduction quirk without ERPPC velocity quirk on the BL-6B? PPC cooldown quirk without PPC heat reduction quirk on the BL-7? What?

Yes, same kind as the GH, but minor ones. And with worse hardpoint placement so...

Yes, it matters because we don't know how long are we going to play with this quirks until the rebalance, so maybe two months with a sub-par (in my opinion) mech.

•+10% Torso Turn Rate (Yaw)
•+12.5% Energy Range
•-10% Energy Heat Generation
•-10% ER PPC Heat Generation
I'm thinking 5 med lasers + 2 large or large pulse w/ shield arm or 3 med lasers + 2 erPPC (w/ one shield side).
Leaning toward 5 med + 2 large the more I think about it for a first trip out.

I guess it's our own fault for buying it early. I see why they are big on pre-order bonuses, nobody would buy them after they are released.
Best hope is that a year from now a big rebalance will come.

The other variants are all complete junk. Probably wont bother playing them till i can GXP the basics on 2 of em and play the only vaguely worthwhile one. (which wont be a patch on the Grasshopper 5P, which is actually a very good mech)
Of course, thats only valid until the great requirkage. But until then..
Of course, the bonus C-Bill variant is one of the sucky one, of course. At least i love the quad UAC5 Mauler and can play it on the ® one.

I'm kinda depressed.
Was hoping that PGI had decided to give IS a decent heavy. Not tier 1. But at least a solid tier 2.
With these quirks, it will be lucky if it gets into tier 3... maybe the 6B, with it's -10% heat gen can get there.
We'll see how they play out.
At least they will look cool in the hangars.
