that mech is so easy to run and I can easily wreck big damage without a sweat in that mech.

please nerf it, all of the variats..they are all OP

[El Bandito]

Dunno if you are joking, but I find the Nightstar Hero to be an absolute beast with MRM120.

Were it so easy... For it to be beastly. No. You gotta be trolling. Trying to tempt PGI to nerf it inot oblivion arent you?
It isnt the sturdiest assault.
Big convergence issues due to arms
Lack of pod space in said arms
Slight lack of hardpoints, if you want to bring bigger guns, you chew through pod space, FAST.
Idiotic assymmetry regarding the left mounted hardpoints, up, up, up!!!


The ok things about it are decent speed and decent hitboxes.

I like the mech, I want it to be great. But cant get it to work as well as my banshees which are the other 95 tonner. And that one have easier to locate hitboxes due to humanoid stature. It got great convergence in comparison to the Nightstar.

I still can't get over how goofy they look when they move... that is, the rare few times I encounter a Nightstar in game.

None of that matters to the Nightstar hero with high mounted ST missile mounts.

My XL Nightstar is terrifying, I always break 800 damage with it. Nerf it please PGI.

It's not the Nightstar, a more accurate description would be MRM120 is an absolute beast, and it can be with anything.

(you happy PGI? You effectively made all the mechs so similar, that we are just playing Barbies Dress Up with lasers.)

I got a 9P this weekend just to check it out. Running 3 AC10s/2 ERMLs. I haven't really done that well in it. The convergence issue is problematic.

[Teenage Mutant Ninja Urbie]

I heard you can mount clan-laservom on it. so a nerf is def. needed.

That sounds hella mean! And now I want one!

[Toothless]

I also want the Javelin nerfed. And the Enforcer, if its even in this game (I honestly cant remember)

[Villainy]

This is a joke right? My beautiful, wonderful Nightstar is usually about as useful as buying an umbrella for longtoms. I literally require this to be satire.

Only a few mechs at 90-100 ton range can carry such a loadout with enough ammo/armor/cooling. Hero Nightstar is one of them.

So an mrm120 with all that spread damage is still effective huh? BUT yeah nerf a hot as hell DS with only a 94 alpha... seems legit.

Only at 200 meters or less, on mechs that go no faster than 50 kph. Comparing such limited setup with the far more versatile and accurate DS build is just sad, even for you.

[Nightbird]

MRM120 much better on the Cyclops, 6x20 has much better spread than 4x30, it has better agility, and it's free.

every time I see a Nightstar, I do what any sensible mechwarrior will do..

go to the other direction and hope to find another mech that is not a nightstar
