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

Cyclops with 6xMRM20 is more fragile, since it relies on XL engine. I ran XL Cyclop-10-Q before on dozens of drops, and it dies pretty fast when focused. I found out that MRM100 Cyclops with LFE is better at ranges where MRMs count.

I want to beat OP with a stick, hard and slowly.

Yeah, you can get amazing loadout on NSR and if you're EXTREMELY lucky even do great in it, but it has lots of issues you really can't get around. Firstly it's very squishy, STs are enormous and too easy to hit from any direction (especially backshots are real bane of this mech). Arms are too small and too apart to really help you shield it, and it adds up to weapon convergence issue, where it's hard to shoot from arms without hitting something (or someone) you're not supposed to, etc, etc... If anything, this mech needs buffs, lots of them in fact.

NSR can do very well. If you have trouble with it, maybe your mechlab is broken.

It does well in spite of itself, AKA the enemy team is ****. It's still pretty mediocre, especially since the Fafnir is a thing.

Also, note - If your mechlab is in fact broken, contact PGI Customer service. I hear wonderful things about them all the time on the forum (despite personal experience), I’m sure they will just get you a new one at no charge.

The Nightstar needs buffs, not nerfs.
Especially removing the hand actuators, free up those 2 slots

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

You realise everyone else is talking about _doing_ damage, not _taking_ damage, right?
