I logged into the game after a while again and noticed that I had a new mech, the NTG-D(CS). I assume this was for being on a tourney team even though I didn't do anything lol (thanks teammates!). Was just gonna build it and noticed that it is missing 2 heatsinks in the engine like the other NTGs. I was scratching my head why a build I was copying from another night gyr was coming 2 tons short. Is this a buy/known issue?

I don't use the forums often, and didn't find a post when I searched the forums on this. The other NTG-Ds have 2 heatsinks in the engine. Just wanted to report this so can someone move this to the correct spot? Thanks!

Hopefully this doesn't take like 2 years to fix

Build codes are variant specific. For example a WHM-6D and WHM-6D(c) use different codes for the same build. Its like a 1 or 2 character difference.

For omnis you need to use the same CTs for codes not to screw up. This treats the NTG-D and the NTG-D(CS) as different mechs.

You're missing heatsinks are likely just due to an error in importing an incompatible code. I think it was an error with my warhammers that I ended up somehow loading two entire awesome-8Rs into my warhammers sode torso (they took the spot of some of my large lasers, one slot and added 80 tons each to the build heh)

Reset your night gear to its stock settings. And then manually build it and see if you still have your heat sink issue

The missing engine DHS is a glitch with the mech at the moment. This means the NTG-D(CS) has an extra two tons and is better suited for tonnage starved (but not slot starved) loadouts, and worse off for anything where you'd want the DHS. MWO Comp admins are aware, PGI is aware, and it will be fixed from what I have heard.

No, it allows me to put 2 extra heatsinks into the mech itself. Like when I build the mech manually exactly how I've built it on another mech, I get 2 free extra tons to add two extra heatsinks. I actually can't import a build to the NTG-D(CS). Pictures below.

Ah okay thanks! Didn't see any sort of post here so just wanted to make sure it was reported!

A fix is on the way, yes.

Yeah, the number of ways an issue can be reported to us is...there's a lot of them, so it's hard for everyone to see all of them.

You cant import a build from a night gyr H to a Night gyr D. I explained this above. You cant even import from a night gyr-D to a D(CS) without problems.

Oh I didn't know about the D to a D(CS) part but I did know the can't do from H to D part, if that makes sense. I DID try to do it from the NTG-Ds I own too, but that's news to me. But I initially didn't try to import, but was just building it manually. Anyway I'll enjoy the extra tonnage while it's there

So what way do you suggest when you report an issue to support and it gets completely ignored?

Hey this is fixed now, thanks!
