It's not like it's hard to come by that configuration on other mechs, even if not on the other variants of this one.

I know, but its the only one that really offers something interesting. I wish it wasn't the hero so we could use it in MRBC at some point since it seems like they have done away with heros (not saying it will be up to par though).

Oh. Joy. Another assault mech. And it's not even the Kingfisher, Bane, or Mad Cat Mk II.

I was so excited about the possibility of a new light. Once again we get another heavy unit. Almost 1 year in this game and not one new light has came out.

We probably won't get more light mechs before PGI implements Infotech and Role Warfare. Because right now, nobody would buy them. So it's probably going to be early 2017, maybe even summer 2017, before we get more light mechs.

If I could like your post more for having a Tsutomu Nihei reference, I would. You would get all of the likes.

[Nightmare1]

Not bad, but it still doesn't have the extra 30 days of Premium Time for pre-orders.

That's annoying enough to keep my pocket book closed.

Only work I've checked out of his is reading the entire Knights of Sidonia manga. It was pretty good IMHO.

Marauder IIC > Supernova, just saying this now.

At least the pre-order includes the 6.5 million you are going to have to spend on a new engine. 270 Standards in a clan battlemech

[Felicitatem Parco]

And no modules again.

[process]

The all-energy ones are going to have a rough time. It's only thing to laserboat going at 85+ kph, but 63 kph plus being a big target is not so great.

Who the hell requested this? A blight upon your houses!

Apparently this age old thread I had:

http://mwomercs.com/...c/192824-do-it/


Two of the 4 I mentioned are already in-game. Turkina and Stone Rhino are next as clan assault mech packs.

[Ace Selin]

Yea 6.5 million cbills is nice.

Lack of modules is a no,no for me as decals are useless imo.

Nice looking mech but not on my want list, would have much preferred the Warhammer IIC, Rifleman IIC (with higher engine cap) or even the Kingfisher.

Well I've Tweeted Russ Asking why PGI seem so against making a new light, as it's been a year, Wondering if I'll get an answer

Pretty sure you quoted the wrong person, or are confused (I'm pretty sure the Mad IIC had the same 6.5 mil with preorder).

[RestosIII]

Literally the only thing that could have made me hyped about this is if it came with ATMs. But nope. We're not allowed to have any more fun than they have scheduled.

Oh, you'll get an answer all right. In the form of a block.

Another Clan 'Mech...

[Angel of Annihilation]

Cool looking mech but can only max out at around 62kph which isn't horrible for a 90 ton assault I guess however the arms are low slung and it is unclear where the torso mounts will be located. Biggest issue I have is that the two variants I would be really interested in are locked deep behind the paywall. The SN-VC and the Hero. I think this one will be a pass for me.

Edit: Forgot to Add. I have already purchased the Marauder IIC which is only 5 tons lighter, can mount up to a 400XL engine and from a hardpoint standpoint can do most of what the Supernova appears to be able to do. I think the MAD IIC is going to be a much better mech.

Dangit PGI. You tempt my wallet with this. I've been waiting to see the Supernova again since MW4!

[N0ni]

Supernova? Best variant behind a paywall? Another assault?

Really?





Welp, still not going to buy it. Wake me up when ED is killed and the Mk II is announced, then i might consider a pack.

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

Without some really good quirks the thing will be pretty mediocre. Hoverjets, low arm mounts, slow max speed, all energy focus or missile boat. Only good one seems to be the hero, which is starting be be a horrible trend PGI has been doing. The Clan heros pack, the Marauder IIC hero, now this.

Can we please maybe get the reinforcement pacts some ballistics instead of just copies of the main variant with the energy hardpoints in awkward locations? Its getting harder and harder to counteract people who have claims the game is p2w with this stuff.

Indeed. The C and the hero are the only ones I am really interested in.

They would have to give the -1 some good quirks to make it a worthwhile option compared to the C, which has the same hardpoint count, just with shoulder hardpoints that are likely perfectly placed.
