Huginn - give it the old SRM4 quirks back and remove some of the structure buffs. That would be a nice brawler with high risk / high reward. It would also offer a new playstyle next to the typical drive-by-shooting lights do

Black Jack - if you don't increase their engine size give them a tad more agility


35t light mechs - give them an agility boost across the board. There is absolutely no reason to take a 35t mech over an Assassin (which blows them out of the water agility wise, armour, structure while having similar firepower and speed)

Jenner / Jenner IIC - please give them finally some arm armour. Especially the Jenner IIC is huge while being terribly fragile

Thunderbolt S - (I hope that's the PPC Thundie) the same quirk like the Awesome, maybe only for normal PPCs, would be great since that mech is also all about PPCs

[Big Tin Man]

I'd love a lot of the old hyper quirked IS mechs to make a comeback in some ways

AC5 Dragon 1N
PPC Thunderbolts
Huggin
LPL Locust
etc...

Oh, that reminds me:

Every King Crab: AC/20 HSL +1

[Funky Bacon]

Maybe a +1 ER-LL on the Supernova-1 so you can fire all 3 lasers on each arm for a double punch?

Fun Niches can save the usefulness of sub-par mechs...give us some more PGI

This.

And I'd like to add to the lists above: a +1MPL GH quirk to the T-Bolt 5ss. No need for the giga quirks of old; just make the old 7MPL a bit more usable.

[Six-Pack]

Seen this idea here on the forum: FNF-5 Heavy Gauss quirk that extends its optimal range without affecting the maximum range.

This seems like the kind of thing PGI would actually think up....as they really don’t make much of a difference (although if one doesn’t play the game you might think it’s great).....so nope....not nearly good enough for unloved chassis’s.

Not every quirk has to shift the meta, there's nothing wrong with a bit of flavour.

[Viking Yelling]

Ok but...

Kdk-3, +1 cUAC-10

Come on!

[Kaeb Odellas]

I want to see more quirks that aren't directly related to shooting mechs.

For instance, give Commandos shorter detection range on enemy sensors to make them sneakier and more "commando"-like. Give Spiders a boost to jump jet forward velocity, so they can fly faster than they can run. Give the Rifleman and Jagers sensor bonuses for their giant radar antennas.

Nope. KDK-3 is doing fine with quad CAC10 even now.

Don't need that CUAC10 beast to come back.

it's not like the kdk3 is a rare sight on the battlefield. I'd really like them to do that only with underperformers
the spiritbear could use some serious help, as it's rarer than a unicorn these days.

think they should just use their "magical data" and pull a list of mechs that don't get used AT ALL.
there's always a reason for that. quirk those, maybe 1-3 mechs per month, EACH month.
should be totally do-able, right?

+1 AC20 for the King Crab.
+2 Medium Lasers for the Hunchback 4P

[Pariah Devalis]

I want to see the Nova Cat and SNV-1 get +1 HSL on ERLLas. They were both intended to fire their lasers in triplicate - not that the lasers are particularly cold to begin with. Also, right now it is obscenely clunky to try and use their stock configurations because of that limitation.

I don't expect it to be a huge amount of powercreep for the game, considering both mechs have low arms, and are required to expose quite a bit to fire. Especially if you're sitting there firing 2 ERLLas... 2 ERLLas... 2 ERLLas.... Lacking defensive quirks to compensate, it would be nice if they could, at least, fire ERLLas in sets of 3, instead of 2.

How about -1 Crit Space for Gauss family weapons on the Grid Iron?

The SNV-1 would be pretty power-creepy considering how dominant SNVs have been in the long-range power position role (and it has been the 1 more often than the C).

NCT would be fine.

[LordBraxton]

Give gargles and EXE extra ghost heat threshold on all types of small laser

black knight and thunderbolt for mediums and larges

banshee for all large laser types as its a giant fragile target now

archer no LRM ghost heat

etc etc

[Tiewolf]

I like to see these quirks only to improve/flavor iconic features of under or mediocre performer.
Something like
- better ECM minimum range for raven or heat bonus with stealth armor
- better lock on + ammo bonus for Trebuchet
- missile+1 kintaro
- or even king crab ac20+1
- executioner + 100% masc speed
- highlander -3 LBx20 critslot

What I do not want is to give quirks just for stock load outs. Supernova does not need a buff nor many other mechs like the arctic wolf.
