i think so, I tried to ask for a small buff in the cauldron channel but it did not work I guess.

With the patch we'll have the stats of the noble, they might give more quick if the nobble have bad stats

Now that there MWO have shifted attention away from the Legendary Shadow Cat Noble SHC-NO(LGD),
may I give feedback as follows:

==>I personally think that it's a bad idea to 'force' a mech into a very specific role that it cannot get out of.
Anyone looking at a SHC-NO would say, "That SHC-NO must be use AC20 and other short range weapons!"

And opponents would devise strategies to counter a very short range damage SHC-NO.

==>Part of the fun in MWO (and BattleTech) is the flexibility in mech layout, and the weapon/range choices. You don't really know what weapon the opponent is fielding until you get closer. Mech weapon/range flexibility is paramount in the long term playability of any mech.

==>I propose that SHC-NO can unequip the AC20, and can put in any other Clan ballistic weapon of player's choice! Oh, and please add +20% ballistic ammo quirk into SO8 of SHC-NO to boot!

Very few mechs aren't pigeon-holed into specific roles. The Shadow Cat is one of those mechs ironically outside the Noble but is considered one of the strongest mediums in the game. Being able to swap out that AC20 is not going to happen for the fact it would allow for nastier builds on one of the strongest mediums in the game (ones that want to sacrifice a bit of speed for extra firepower).
