^ trust me, you're as orange as if you'd stood in front of a direwolf for 10 seconds...you're only 94%, but cored, front, and back.

you shut down for so long, you begin to wonder if you're actually dead or not.

I am unable to alpha left, then right immediately without shutting down on most maps

on a regular heat map, you are down for like 36 secs returning with dark red core. but I never tried a cold map. Or a hot one. But I guess on a hot one you are dead.

and cored? Oberheating does not damage armor. Which is fun because once in a match I saw a undamaged Nova running around with highly red CT, and So I knew what this poor newbie did.
I recorded some stuff and wanted to make a small vid, But so far stupid Windows moviemaker can not resize 16:10 resolutions.

this is a very cool running chassis, also making nice use of the non prime arms. But what I do not like is you have a lot less firepower at cornerpopping. Or it will cause you at leats to totally expose yourself to fire the second arm as well. Thats quite dangerous in your supersize mech.

also, I woudl put the ammo into the head, its unlikely it will be detsroyed there, at leats in my over 300 Nova games my MG ammo never popped.

And I would at leats use a tc 1 the bit initial extra crit and target gathering time is quite a nice thing.

I really can tell no difference in targeting with those computers. I start to see something at III, but at that extra weight, nope. heatsinks more important.


I run level 5 modules, cooldown and range. That build with just the 6ERL's is quite effective, you wont overheat too badly when it, and it always, boils down to a brawl.
Never had the MG ammo blow up, I run into much more severe problems if it starts going south
I think I have about the same, 300 battles in it and the variants. 1.03 KtD ratio

left arm, left corners, right arm, right corners!!

I forgot to add, I kept the S variant, and arms of the other two

I just got the Nova

Prime: rt arm, 3erml
lf arm, 5ersl,1erspl...i hope this works to dodge ghost heat...
Basically, i call it the 'Left hand of Doom'. Pretty self descriptive.
Play like a Kitfox, hang with the heavies, poke when they are brawling. Use the LEFT HAND OF DOOM at 120m when its a sure bet.

As far as the variants? Dunno. The balistic arm im thinking of a UAC20...like a Wang.

[That Dawg]

20 wont fit

just ran two with the "embrace mediocrity" build

the tc 1 is quite good, because for only one tonnage you get a lot.
but upgrading for another tonnage to tc 2 is only small delta you get.
