Mechs like the BLR-1G have some quirks for IS Medium Lasers. Are we going to see these converted or expanded to also cover ER Medium Lasers?

Are you sure they don't cover them already, my Phoenix Hawk-3S applies its 20% ML range bonus to ERMLs (432m optimal lol).

Go play a MAD-BH2. 468+ m ER MedLas are a thing.

Well I noticed my Malinche's AC10 quirks don't apply to UAC10s. I also wonder if they would change the loyalty wolverine's UAC5 quirks to either include RACs or apply to all UACs.

I expect the quirks to be revisited.

Now that IS has tech available on a similar level to clan, I expect the range, cooldown and heat quirks to disappear.

I don't. The ERML is still too hot for the capability it provides. Assuming a 52-point alpha (3xLL+5xERML) and 19 DHS, the IS ERML needs to be 4 heat to be on an even footing heat-wise with the 52 point Clan alpha (2xLPL+4xERML) assuming 26 DHS. It has inferior damage-to-heat to the cERML on top of decreased damage and optimum range. Its only benefits are a 31.5 m maximum range advantage and a 0.9 sec duration, the latter of which just gives it the same damage per tick as the cERML until you use skill tree nodes, and even then they remain more comparable than they were when the cERML was 1.15 s stock.

I do expect range quirks to mostly go away, though. Far less necessary.
