Those quirks are fun - they nailed this "technical readout fluff" style. I somewhat wish every mech in the game would gain one of those to even the field and add character to all of them (except the one token "no quirks, bog standard, but extra cheap" mech)
Also targetable missles on the Archer sound scary.
Also looking forward to the Vulcan with super-support weapons! So sweet.

(I also like how Mitch kinda directly spoke to PH when he added "but never say never" when he said that they have no infantry in the game but tried to make the anti-infantry vulcan work anyway)
