Well...talk about impulsive eh? So, I used credits and picked up Impulse in the Event Crate. I figured it was only credits and I stood to get a bunch of implant parts and pilot marks so why not? I actually pulled Impulse after the halfway mark with like 4-5 crates left. I ended up opening all just for the halibut. So, I also spend the acoins to clone my NL12. They do about 65k each and with Impulse at L3 now, do about 74k each. I tried them on KS with some success against AI and then tried them on Surge - which was one of my original plans. Big mistake. I literally cannot kill anything fast enough, even from behind. The MR12 does have faster DPS than the NL12. Yes, I know you can't really compare them yet, but it really does feel like the MR12 has higher DPS. The big pro for the NL is the much faster reload speed and the ability to sit behind low cover and harass the reds. So far, I've gotten good kills around the 40m mark. Anything beyond that is a crapshoot. I think it's a good support and harassment weapon so far but nothing to write home about. I'll keep running this for a while just because I need a change. I'm thinking this might even be a good weapon build for Bastion, Redeemer and Eclipse. Maybe when I get the damage up to somewhat on par with my MR12, I'll try them on Surge again. For now, I'll keep them on KS.

Just got the NL12 from the Playoff Event. Dipped into my A-Coin reserves to do and now a bit of buyer's remorse, because the next event is all top Helix Rack implants. Ah well. Got a clanmate who has torn me up a couple times with NL12s on his Eclipse. Just shotguns them point blank at you. Overall he seems to prefer Eclipse DL but seems like these could be good for up close and personal on a couple different mechs.

One of my plans was do put NL12 on Bastion but now that I've got NL12 cloned, I'm not really feeling it. I guess maybe after this season is over and I get the gold damage implant, it'll perform better, but I think it really needs a legendary pilot to go with it to maximize the damage. Right now, the only advantages it has over MR12 is the faster reload and the single fire capability. The range and ability to fire over low cover is meh at best. Useful against AI Lemmings but not really against humans - unless you catch them by surprise from behind with an Eclipse of course. Even then, I feel MR12 would still out DPS the NL12 and in many situations, killing faster is the name of the game.
Now that I've picked up Eclipse, I might try it out with both but it won't be for a long time. I only picked up one upgrade kit to rank up the Eclipse once so it's only running JR8 right now, like a beefed up Shadow.
