This, perks make or break mechs, we definitely need to know what the perk situation is.
If the War Emu has significant ballistic perks it may well be a great mech...if its just another assault with some vanilla structure and armor bonuses then not so much...

But to give it NO quirks, beyond the bit of extra armor all Stalkers get? That feels disappointing
.
I get that there are only so many directions one can go with an "outlier quirk" without drifting into Play-To-Win territory, but still... an outlier quirk is part of the Legendary Mech deal, isn't it? It's part of what's being offered for sale.
Some extra mobility, or an extra-high heat cap, or Number-Seven-Style crit chance reduction- any of these would be a great fit with the War Emu character (ifthe mech is in fact referencing the 1932 Emu War) without unbalancing the game.
I am trying to stay positive and be a cheerleader for you guys, but I'm struggling to imagine the justification for the decision to not include an outlier quirk with the War Emu.
A little help?

It's hard to imagine what about that makes it "legendary".

The Viper Scaleshot is something else, playing that mech is so much fun. The ammo quirks make it possible to bring weapons that mech has no right carrying.

That said, I still think the optics of offering a legendary mech with NO bonus quirks- not even something as innoculous as the Moonwalker's extra reverse speed- might hurt sales.
It will at least provoke complaint, though that's likely unavoidable.
Keep up the good work and thanks for the reply.

Enough of the terrible Legendary Mechs already... Dear Gods they're terrible... THIS is the great idea ye guys came up with? Sad. This game used to be so good. Ye could have done Victor Steiner-Davion's Dire Wolf, painted Blue and Yellow, big A for Archon on the leg... Ye know, something out of ACTUAL BattleTech? That Universe yer supposed to stick somewhat too? Remember?
Sad times for Mechwarrior...

War Emu is probably the most legendary name they have come up with yet. Get over yourself and have some fun.

Rinkhals would have been apropos for the Viper maybe. The Stalker... Staccato. Because AC5 spam.
Idk, I don't agree with him, but names are fun. I like the presence of a Medium there, a nimble jumpy one.
Mildly concerned about the Stalker but I can't imagine Scaleshot being a game breaker. Awoos don't destroy game balance.
