Title says it all.

Thoughts?

Seriously?

Check the FAQ forum. Supernova FAQ is up.

Totally should have played this off as me being psychic...



I just realized... this is going to have Highlander/Mauler slow mech syndrome.

I can already see Supernova and Nova drop decks for faction play already...

OMG has that been there for two weeks and no one noticed?

How is the supernova supposed to use umpteen energy weapons if it can't carry more heatsinks than a normal Nova?

It should be able to carry a few more from the 3 engine heat sinks in an XL325.

Marauder IIC > Supernova, just saying this now.

Ultimately really disappointed they are still trying to sell us worthless or homogeneous variants just to milk as much money even if it won't actually benefit the game.

I hope they make up some variants for this one, cause otherwise it's lasers, lasers and more lasers. Except the variant with tech we don't have (ATM's).

Wow... a Supernova can carry maybe 10% more heatsinks than a 50 ton Nova. Totes worth it.

Yeah, its going to come with the Highlander/Mauler-esque engine cap of 325, it won't be able to compete with the MAD-IIC unless it has super ballistic hardpoints (four spreadout between at least 2 components), in which case it wouldn't be able to compete with the Kodiak.

I think the Kingfisher or Turkina would have been more interesting...

Yeah, at 63 kph too.... well maybe it can do some ballistic shenanigans with the made up variants.

Oh my, you were serious.

Well, have fun with your energy boat, clanners. Hope none of you were in the mood for, you know... variety.

EDIT: Oh look, they made up one missile chassis. And then they made up two more laser boats.

Whee.

Naw Supernova is better.

Not this version of Marauder IIC. This version looks like ****, will play like ****, and I can already tell from the concept art that it will have the worst hitboxes imaginable. Supernova will be better.

Hell no. Supernova is going to be too slow (63 kph with max engine). MAD-IIC will be better fo sho.

Here is a breakdown of the variants:
4 are energy only with 7-8 hardpoints in various locations
1 is half missile half energy with 4 of each (think HGN-IIC-A with an extra missile hardpoint and not awkward hardpoint locations)
1 (the hero) has 3 torso energy, 3 torso missiles, and a ballistic in each arm, making it better than the HGN-IIC-C, could've been better than the MAD-IIC hero if it didn't have the super low engine cap.

No, strictly because the Mad IIC will go faster and won't be stuck at lowlander speed. The hitboxes I imagine will be about on par with each other.
