Took this guy for a spin again. Nice little brawler. I've seen some people running it with an additional half ton of ammo and no cERSL, I like having the cERSL for backup, though. Nice to have something left if the arms get blown off.
I've tried a few balistic builds like this with the Nova, but I just can't justify it. The Stormcrow does it better(although I feel like this is a theme with almost every mech, Stormcrow is a beast). A higher hardpoint for your autocannon, more lasers, more ammo, more heat sinks, far faster and tankier as a whole. You lose jump jets, but clan ACs don't really let you poptart so it doesn't matter much. As much as I'd like the Nova to not be a one trick pony, I've not really had any success with builds besides 6 med/6 small or 12 med.
