    A prime example of why I dislike the NTG,...
    A massive Black Knight ish build and even here I can't use all my tonnage,... to make matters worse, It forces me to de-optimize weapon locations.



    Someone please restore my faith in this mech!

    Well, pure energy builds really aren't the Night Gyr's strong suit. That said, I've had decent success with this one:

    It runs hot (too hot without efficiencies), so you really need to stay away from brawls. However, if you fire your cLPLs in couples to avoid ghost heat you can fire them twice before taking cover to cool down. Between the 8-set bonus and the TC III, you have excellent range on those large pulses.
    The cMPL in the head is for those occasions when you are hill humping and can only fire the torso lasers, plus it was the only way to take up all of the remaining tonnage. If you don't mind a wasted half ton, you could replace the TC III with a TC I, another DHS and full leg armor. Another option is to replace the cMPL with a slightly cooler cERML and armor.
