The MDDs need some slight missile quirks. They are no good laserboats and they are no good ballistics mechs due to the problem that clan ballistics are crap. Especially on an MDD. All they got at the moment are LRM, SRM and S-SRM. So just give them some 10% missile speed quirk and a 10% missile cooldown quirk and they should be fine again.

I agree with the need for more side torso armor.
It is all too easy to pop the left or right torso off a MDD, I do it all the time in my huginn.
After buying a MDD I noticed this fragility first-hand.
When a side torso goes, the arm goes too.

I remember the vulture/mdd from mech warrior 3 & 4 wasn't that great either, but damn... it was better than this.

Picked a couple up during this sale out of long-standing fondness of the chassis, but it's pretty disappointing. Between the long distance from the cockpit to the low-slung arm weapons (requiring in a great deal of exposure to bring the weaponry to bear and frequent misjudging of clearance resulting in shooting the berm in front of you) and the fragility of the large and obvious side torsos, it's difficult to use for anything but indirect LRM fire.
