On principle alone, I refuse to link the cockpit video.

Not because it's a bad looking cockpit, but because I posted up all the Supernova crap already. Someone else do it. >_<

How do you get it to show the youtube link instead of just a address?

Gotta go to the direct link. Youtube links will sometimes be compressed, so go to the actual youtube link that actually presents the video on its own page, and copy the address. Badda bing, badda pewpew.

OK Merlin, stop showing off, or I'll give you more of what I fed your Mist Lynx.

2 tons of machine gun ammo, several city's worth of energy outputted through a directed energy weapon, and a load of air to ground high explosives? :P

The Super Nova just doesn't tickle my fancy.

The feet are off(no front toe,just a small nub of a knuckle) and it screams that it's gonna lose torsos like a DW or KC do.

Upside, the SVN-BR can theoretically make a nasty brawler. 3x ASRM6, 3x ERSLas, and 2x LB20X, 15 DHS, XL325. Effectively equal to the Scorch brawler, perhaps. Brawler fits would bypass the whole "my main guns are at my hips" thing, anyways.

mmmmmmm so the only way to make a super long range mech good is to buy the Paywall Special and make a wannabe, but slower, Scorch out of it?

Color me unimpressed. I'm prepping my Flamers to go SVN hunting tomorrow.

Hmmm. I should check my inventory..Flamers weigh less than MPLAS. So I should dig out the microwave hunchback. Now do I have a spare XL that fits it I wonder..

I wish to torch all the Cheetos and supernovas. I hear the oil in them burns rather well. But I want to do it in a microwave hunchback that does 90kph

Well, the mech can be designed to be absolutely ludicrous as a short ranged brawler. I find that hilariously counter to the design of the SVN-1, but more in tune with its King Crab origins.

Damned near max armor. I cannot give a proper response to that yet, as both times I used The Gavel, the team pussed out on a push at the last fraction of a second, making me eat a ton of fire. That said, it survived 8 mechs beating on it for a good 5 seconds, and I had one arm, both side torsos, and the CT stripped before death.
