Oh no, these aren't builds I
want to do!
If I
had to do a VQ build, because of handicap rules in an MP game, I think those are a couple of VQ options that would be somewhat playable. Luckily, in the game where I couldn't choose my nation or pretender chassis, I got given a Phoenix instead.
I totally agree with you that the VQ is the most overpriced of all pretenders.
