I cant tell if this is your personal bump thread or if its even on topic of what the original post is

I actually try to only post when I have something to say, although that may not have always happened I suppose. It might appear to have gotten off topic but the Nightstar is still involved as it was to an extent the inspiration for the list & video.

But I do agree it's wandered a little.

I made a couple new Reddit posts in a couple new subreddits.

I feel like I had some impact on that, visually.....
though more with my original Nightstar versions


Or am I just seeing things?

Yeah, the Escalation Pack is massively better, overall, than the original... all 4 Mechs are real contenders in their class.... Osirs should be a little beast... the ACW is nastier Clan version of the Assassin (and looks amazing) and the NovaKitty and Nightstar should be dang good performers and yes, I am happy your Nightstar came out looking sick, also.

I may have to get that for my IS account... finally have an IS Assault I like.

I want to take the time once again thank everyone that supported the Nightstar, especially the artists who shared their talents and quite honestly made this possible. Thank you! You guys are amazing!

[LordLeto]

Only took just over a year. Grats.

The possibilities are nearly endless. So, so many solid options to build with. You want dakka? It's there. You want vomit? It's there. You want splat? it's there. You want mixtures of any two? It's there!

Thank you, Kamerad.

Without your tireless promotion and your personality winning over many people, this would not have been possible. I am sure of that. And you should be proud of this achievement, because you contributed to bringing a good Mech to a computer game for the first time ever.

I am sure if MWO:2 comes in some years, people will clamour for the "iconic" Nightstar.

I don't particularly dislike the Annihilator, but since it got the number one spot over the Nightstar I have to say it: the Nightstar blows it out of the water in every way.

Yes, the Nightstar is a darn good IS assault, powercreepy but that's what we need right now.

As of this post I've only just found out about the Nightstar pre-order. *But whether I wanted to buy it, my mind was made up when I first posted in this thread, whenever that was . I know I'm getting the whole Nightstar pack.

Given its somewhat similar design to the Ebon Jaguar (low height profile, wide arms, narrow frontal CT profile, all weapon mounts are around cockpit-high), it should be a great mech, performance-wise. The fact that it looks amazing helps too.

Also, now the Banshee has a companion in its weight class.

*Edit: better timeframe

Congratulations on a job well done! Hooza and Hooray! I am gona have to buy that beast.

So, is there anyway you guys could get Blood asp in there? I dont know why but I love it, and I want it... and... I have been drinking.

[Jiang Wei]

It barely resembles a BT battlemech. Looks more like a cartoon robotech suit. Is it a clan or IS mech? I do not approve...

And the kodiak already has plenty of matchups now and on the way. The anihilator is coming in a month. We need more medium and heavy mechs in the game honestly.. Plenty of assaults already... pretty soon every match will be all assaults.

Gratz to those who have Night Star on their mech wishlist!
I'm also happy that Nova Cat also confirmed.

Thanks man. I really appreciated your help. tbh things were kind of stalling and then you started contributing and imo helped get it over the edge. Bishop and Metus were also really great with discussing new variant ideas and Josh your contributions were great as well.

Just pointing out that it might share a posture with the Ebon Jag but it's 30 tons heavier. That WILL show on the model. Expect either a wide, squat King Crab type LRM catcher or something narrower but much taller. Betting on the latter myself ( going by the concept art).

Edit: And good job OP for seeing the results of your efforts

The hero is the "Wolf Phoenix". I think it's obvious that means we got Shelly Brubaker's ride as the hero. I had grown quite fond of FLG's Xaver Murr but I'm happy with this choice nonetheless.

[Will9761]

Bishop got his Urbanmech, Imperious got his Mad Cat Mk II, and now TheArisen gets his Nightstar. Congrats man, it looks like a beauty.
