It will be a strong 'mech, it does not need quirks.

[Rizzi Kell]

just visit the other countdown to sides, even the pirhana got quirks, every mech got it just this bastardine not? STRANGE! They just forgot about this...

the pirhana is a strong mech and would not need the quirks either....but has quirks....

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Quirks are not mandatory, they are just there to somewhat balance the chassis' variants against each other and the whole chassis against others of similar type.
Taking a look at the PIR's quirks, I see some minuscule structure quirks and a heat dissipation quirk. The heat dissipation quirk is there to offset the disadvantage those chassis' are at, that can't mount an engine large enough to house at least ten heatsinks (250's and up). As it is right now, only those ten heatsinks (double heatsinks, that is) count as true double heatsinks.
So, in fact, the PIR is mostly unquirked.

[MrKvola]

Exactly, the PIR only has some really minor structure quirks, nothing aside from that. The corrective heat dissipation quirk does not even count as a real quirk, it is something that is there to fix broken stuff.

Lol they forget to add quirks.... REALY NO QUIRKS ON MOST OF THIS???

Its similar to an Arctic Cheetah so was never going to get many quirks. Hardpoints are great compared to almost any light mech except the Piranha, plus its a clan battlemech so can take the cXL engine it wants plus use cFF/Endo. Agility is okay for a 30 tonner. Why did you think it would receive many quirks?

[Rizzi Kell]

I do not think it must have many quirks, but weapon quirks like each other mech puplished in the last year. I know PGI hates Clan, and this could be a beast like a Baby of AW-1 ad Pir-1,but each other mech got quirks on every chasis this not!

and i see, only mercs with fable to the IS and perhaps IS-Loyalists are talking against quikrs for this mech.... realy nasty, did PGI give you some more DRUGS?

[Rizzi Kell]

Show me two other mechs without any quirks!

[Bwah Ha Ha]

ROFL I love how the mech gets shorter in the size comparison until it's the same height as the Urbie. Can't wait to play it though.

Oh... this? This ends any meaningful discussion right there.

[Rizzi Kell]

so you found no other mechs without quirks? me neither, so why couldn´t i have quirks on this mech?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

I didn't bother to look. From memory:
- Arctic Cheetah in any battlefield relevant outfit
- all Hunchback IICs
- all Marauder IICs

there. Several. Your turn.

[Jonathan8883]

It's a Clan battlemech. It has the strongest tech base in the game, full customization, high hardpoints, and is not crippled WRT loadouts the way "Omni"mechs are with deliberately terrible placement of locked critical slots.

THX PGI FOR OUTSORCING MY CIPHER...

[Rizzi Kell]

Muhaaa FIX SIDETORSI PLS WE NEEEEEEEED QUIRKS FOR IT

[Aldodrem]

No Incubus Mech Challenge?

[Battlemaster56]

By tomorrow they should have one ready

[mad kat]

Is it just me or is this a really lazily designed mech. Even the screen shot promoting is showing geometry clipping at what looks like its waist with two identical parts twisting against each other.

Then you have the copy and paste Arctic cheetah cockpit, what looks like shrunken battlemaster shoulder hardpoints and Javelin arms?

PGI's now doing Phranken mechs too.

Shame Harmony Gold Technically won.
