TDR-9S Quirk Adjustment Idea OutreachHPG

This is a real simple one: but why not apply the quirk to the regular PPC, and reduce its overall benefit to match it currently?

Example:

• ERPPC Heat Generation -25.00% --> PPC Heat Generation -12.50%


• Energy Heat Generation -25.00% --> Energy Heat Generation -12.50%

Retain the ERPPC cooldown/Energy cooldown/projectile velocity as is, but for the regular PPC.

Rationale:

• 
  

  Current quirk stack for heat gen means an ERPPC that normally generates 15 heat now only generates 7.5 heat (50% reduction total).

  
  


• 
  

  Adjusting reduction from ERPPC 50% to PPC 25% yields same result for PPC (7.5 heat per PPC).

  
  


• 
  

  TDR-9S can no longer 30 alpha out to 810m (the most annoying aspect of this FOTM)

  
  


• 
  

  TDR-9S has a significant weakness at close ranges below 90m. Requiring backup weapons or better piloting. Right now, it sucks to be a light fighting these guys because even up close when harassing, they can still leg you in one alpha strike.

  
  

If any mech should get an ERPPC quirk like the TDR-9S currently has, it needs to be a lighter mech, preferably in the medium class, where it is difficult to mount more than 1 PPC effectively along with heat sinks. Or give it to the walking refrigerators known as Awesomes.

Thoughts?
