I just noticed that the Hellbringer has absolutely no quirks! I love the Hellbringer! Will it not get any love?
Would love to see PPC/Laser quirks along with an electronics package quirk.
Quirks are not some upgrades you can enhance a Mech with like in a single player game or so.
They are a balancing tool.
Normally, there would not be any quirks.
But as some Mechs are worse than others (e.g. because of hardpoint location or shape), they need to get a little "special" something to catch up. Hence the term "quirks" (character, specialty, etc.)
This means that the Mechs that are already good in the first place (e.g. by having a brokenly implemented Angel ECM relabelled as a simple guardian ECM and/or having good hardpoint locations) don't need quirks and won't get quirks.
I think the HBR is pretty good. Still is. And with the upcoming RT, it will be much less LT-loss-prone than it is now.
