*sees quirks.

*mega whine ultra qq mode activated.

*but what about the locust non related whine posts activated.

I'm actually with ya on the Phoenix hawks,although they do add a little variety. Just fragile for an IS. Then again you guys just had to have your Phoenix hawk ala Urban mech no matter what lol

I came "this close"'to buying the viper with early adopter rewards. I wish I would have I love Cicadas and they seem like they are very similar.

Uh oh, looks like someone brought a hatchet to a CMG fight.

Sigh...

God damnit. Thanks Kodiak. Now apparently every Clan mech is going to come quirked.

I'm pretty you mean to thank the Orion/Highlander IIC which everyone regretted buying because of how bad they were without quirks, proof that Clan tech doesn't make everything good enough without quirks, even with customization. That's probably part of the reason for the Kodiak having quirks, (PGI just doesn't understand the meta, thus why the 3 got quirks and the 1/5 didn't).

As far as the quirks on this thing, I'm definitely interested to see if they make this mech good enough to actually compete with lights at that role despite the extra tonnage cost, still won't save it in weight class limited drops though.

So not DOA !

Seems that it might just offer something different enough from my cheetahs and Shadow cats to get use after they are mastered too. Unless they prove to be OP and get nerfed to oblivion.

> +speed, +JJ’s, +mobility quirks; accel & decel, +turn rate, torso twisting… WAHOOO!!! Wont help my shooting but damn that looks fun to pilot!!
> PPC quirk and crazy jumping… - will it be possible to fit a second PPC in there? (I’m not so good with these… but imagine some people will go crazy! )
> MG quirks… nice LOL :/… one day perhaps... perhaps not
> range/heat gen/energy cool down quirks… double checks to see if this is an IS mech… very curious to see what onmi parts the various quirks are attached too.

…maybe the locust is getting buffed!??

But... we have the 6MG Spider... in our dreams.

When this hits the streets I would like someone to test out the ERPPC option. As it stands on most clan mechs most average speed mechs have time to move out of the way at range (hell my ebon jag can dodge ERPPCs at optimal range) and I think that bonus will definitely have an effect. No clue if it will be too much or not enough but I figured I should ask in advance.

It won't matter because a single ERPPC isn't potent enough, regardless of how accurate it is.

True. It won't have the weight for enough heatsinks, either. That's one of the reasons why the Viper has some heat quirks.
