Simple math for simple minds like mine.

lets say we have a 10% heat gen quirk, and a weapon does 10 heat, upon firing we only generate 9 heat because of the quirk.

But heat disp quirks? we have a 10% heat disp quirk, and a weapon that does 10 heat, upon firing we get 10 heat like normal, but dissipate it 10% faster? right?

IIRC, it's based off the mech's overall heat dissipation and multiplied by 1+the % bonus.

So in the case of the Lolcust, it's whatever you have for dissipation (normally XL 180's worth of heat dissipation + 3 external IS DHS), then multiplied by 1.18 (18% heat dissipation bonus) and that's your new dissipation value.

I'll save you the time and trouble: it's complete and utter ****. Expect the new quirk to be about 10% the strength of what the old one was in terms of actual combat effectiveness.

Correct, and likely based on the Mechs heat efficiency.

By which I mean that you'll have to figure out your Mech's actual dissipation and not just your heat sink count because in-engine DHS are different than external DHS.
