📋 About This Mod

A quirk overhaul for YAML, and eventually YAGDM(its submods), YAISM, YALM, YACM, Exotic Mechs(maybe). DO NOT USE WITH YARQWE OR OTHER QUIRK MODS.

The purpose of this mod is an overhaul of the quirks in various mech mods to promote different mech variants, specializations of mechs and play styles.

This mod does not change any hardpoints, weapons, or any other file directly.

No bonus is larger, or smaller than 5% - this is done in order to prevent useless mechs or create absurdly powerful ones directly.

They are divided into different categories, most of these are pulled from canon sources, with some changes if they cant be done in game.

The Three major differences are as follows:

Faction Quirks:

Each major faction(Clans, each great house, the periphery, along with Solaris VII, Wolfs Dragoons, RCX, Otomo, and a Combined "Used by all in great numbers") has a quirk that gives bonus's that are based on their favored weapon and or fighting style.

Chassis and Variant Quirks:

For the most part each variant has its own unique "weapon platform" quirk, that grants a bonus to that variants default primary weapon battery, this may in the majority of cases grant bonuses to the entire family of weapons. A gauss rifle for example will also give bonuses to Light, Heavy, Clan, and Railguns.

Mission Quirks:

These are the most unique one, i took the idea of a command mech and turned it into an entire subdivision of faction quirks that tune a mech further for a variety of weapons and equipment usages.

Hero Mechs:

Currently, and i dont know if they ever will, hero mechs do not have unique quirks, this is because hero mechs in general have better performance already, along with more available traits. They do have the full range of quirks available for their chassis and variant however.
