Some clan mechs have bonuses specific to each omnipod, usually 2 - 3% of something like range or heat.

I suggest that viper mech omnipods that have fewer hardpoints (1 energy hardpoint instead of 2 in that omnipod for example, such as the A left torso have 2 energy hardpoints compared to the D left torso having 1 energy hardpoint) get small bonuses. Also, perhaps a 5% better heat dissipation for the mech since it uses up most of its weight in the engine.

Examples:

Viper A Right Arm: +2% Energy Range.

Viper B Left Arm: -3% PPC Heat
Viper B Left Torso: -3% Energy Heat
Viper B Right Arm: -2% Energy Cooldown
Viper B Right Torso: +10% Flamer Range

Viper D Left Torso: -3% Laser Duration
Viper D Right Torso: -5% Missile Cooldown

Viper Prime Left Torso: -5% Energy Cooldown

(I picked things that were overshadowed by other components)

If you pick all 8 omnipods, you get that bonus as normal, but if you mix and match, at least you get something. Also, now, with all 8 omnipods you get a bit more of a bonus.
