hello everyone,
just making a topic for Nova Pilots,
so we can all talk about the New Nova Variant,

Possible Variants

Mcgral18, on 26 December 2014 - 05:47 PM, said:

The Nova could also do 3 AMS with the A STs and S CT, but here's the A variant to start:



Also the C, Right Shield Arm, 1Missile LT, and Left Ballistic Arm,



And the D, Right Missile Arm, and Left Ballistic Arm,



These screens were taken using this method:

personally i would love
the A(for AMS&1E) or the C(1M LT)

i have a fear we will get the NVA-D
because its 1Missile RA means a Nova cant take 12E,
Please PGI give use the A-C Please?


-Please note-
after the Announcement on the 20th i most likely will be purging this Topic,
as it will mostly lose its propose after the 20th, thanks for understanding,

Thoughts Comments Concerns?
Thanks

Edit- Spelling

I want my 14 ERSL mech....


And armour quirks. I won't spend MC for a single SL though. Unless it's the Nova-U, I'll just wait.


I think the two best choices would be the A or the C. The D is an arm mount(which replaces the Prime or S arms) and is lower mounted. A C missile lets you have a higher mounted SRM or LRM rack, while still bringing a fair amount of weapons, also Sword and Board capable.

Dual long range torso mounts could be nice, but barely higher than the top arm mounts. The Tri-AMS might provide a benefit for some.


I just want to troll around with 14 lasers, though.

More variety is never a bad thing Personally I'd love to have missiles on a Nova due to Clan missiles being so light.

the thing is if we get the NVA-D,
is 1 missile slot on a Nova worth 6energy?
remember that missiles would have to have ammo too,

NVA-P-LA(6E) & NVA-B-RT(1E) & NVA-D-RA(1M),
thats only 7E and 1M, also most weapons are in the Arms,
the easily target-able arms, and the NVA-D-RA is huge with missiles,

thats why im hoping for the A for its LT AMS/1E, or the C for its LT 1M,

Missiles will be welcome. But I really want some generous armour and speed quirks

Possibly? Nova gets more energy hardpoints than it can safely use. I'm crazy enough to run my Nova Prime stock (aside from some armor redistribution), and I consider it a large enough suicide ride to rival the Locust or an LRM boat with no close range weapons.

maybe but i still am liking the C better,
a 12ER-SL(Arms) + 1MPL(RT) + 1SRM6(LT),
could be an amazing short range brawler,
and be heat safe,.. Safer,... less un-safe,

well unless they break time line in give us the NVA-U,
(RT 4B)(LT 4B)(HD 1ECM) i need to run 9MG-6SPL-ECM,

I'd probably go 6 ERML; but that's the most you could get because of the 16 weapon cap.

I imagine ECM would count, since AMS also does and they both take space in the weapon grouping chart.



It would be awesome, something I'd actually spend MC on.

they really need to get rid of those ugly hand collars when there are only 1 or 2 weps mounted on the arm.

i agree, i would like to see ether a weapon there, or let us hold ranged weapons in our hands, laser Pistol?
