Quirks

EXTERNAL HEAT TRANSFER QUIRK

To account for their use of Laser Heat Sinks in BattleTech lore, all Night Gyr variants possess a -100% External Heat Transfer quirk. This causes the Night Gyr to ignore all environmental Heat effects that would normally affect the Heat state of other 'Mechs. Whereas a normal 'Mech dropping on a hot map such as Terra Therma would run at a higher base Heat depending on the number of Heat Sinks it has equipped, the Night Gyr always runs at a base Heat of 0%. Further, the Night Gyr can trudge through environmental hot spots with no penalty to its base Heat.On the other hand, the Night Gyr receives no boost to its Heat Sink efficiency on cold maps.

I like the Collector's title/badge.

I ain't buying a clan mech to get them though

[Wecx]

Thanks for the heads up. Now i know exactly when not to play. I can only imagine the hell of 10 Night Gyrs on the other team.

We are going to have to enjoy the crap out of it now, before Energy Draw comes along and ruins everything!

[IceCase88]

Are we finally going to get the Heavy sale which should've happened a month ago?

If I am not mistaken, that was mentioned a month or two ago, so it is due to come soon along with the heavy leaderboard event.

I love the standard badge, it's got "Commi' " written all over it

mmmm...I was thinking about some Islam-stan....

[Bolter01]

Ah... the collectors badge, ... its a .... circle.

very creative o7

(yes its a moon with a little sheen, com on..)

[Matt Newman]

yeah the Badge reminded me of the flag of Turkey.

However, the motif is a Sickle to embody the talon of the GYR bird of prey.
The Star is to represent the night Sky.

The title "the Nocturna"l is pretty self-explanatory and the designer went with an Eclipse motif to better emphasize the power of the mech.

Some Legends say if you see a player with the "The Nocturnal" title and Collectors Badge in your game you are going to die 7 minutes later.

[R79TCom1 Night Lanner]

I am rather unimpressed by the titles and badges. But I have already paid my money because I want them 'Mechs not the badges. I don't need no stinkin' badges! Or titles! I am Jade Falcon!

I guess I just always hold out hope that something will come out that will make me want to change from my title being my rank in FW and my badge being a profile of a Timber Wolf. A cool, stylized falcon head like they did with the bear head for the Kodiak may have done that. But not a Soviet sickle and Star or a big zero.

The collector's badge should be a picture of a Night Gyr, i mean the actual Falcon. it does look like a big zero. How much did he get paid to design that?

The sickle and a star is presented on a lot of Commi' states flags. Since I used to live in one while being a kid, there is a sort of a nostalgic effect to the badge.

Wow, that's quite a huge TTK =)
The badge is cool though.

Based on the hardpoints listed on the store page and the image provided, likely not, I'd say

lol, your wording choice is a little off, 3 energy points at or above cockpit level is amazing not good

i imagine on the ballistic builds the torso energy point is also the ballistic point location

[N0ni]

So two more days and we'll find out if they put LHS enviromental effects into the quirks or not. Either way i don't really care, but if they do and you complain about Terra Therma / Caustic / Tourmaline being too hot... my answer will be buy a Night Gyr.
