This one is cool, but I'd like a Black Hawk-KU.

[TechChris]

So........ we got the "Bloated Nova"!? Interesting!

Mostly locked to being a laser vomit boat......
Drags most those down low......
Similar "distint" hit boxes to the nova (so it looks).....

Least there's good odds those ST hardpoints will be nicely mounted! And it's not omni so can change engine/ferro/endo and see what kinda vomit monster we can create!

Albeit I must give them props for there sales ideas lately....... They been doing a good job of making sure the hero version is one of/most/only interesting variant in there mech packs for a while to drive up that bottom line!

Interesting release. I was hoping for the Warhammer IIC, but I welcome a second 90 tonne Clan assault.

Based on hardpoints, it looks like a few of the variants won't be very good, the energy boat ones obviously. Hopefully they get -10% energy heat gen. though they'll probably need -25%, clan energy weapons being so hot. The hero looks really promising!

I think the special's camo is really awesome! Great job. The hero should be called Rudolph the red-nosed Supernova.

I'm wondering if MWO will stay around long enough to get this thing for C-Bills, since I won't pay any more Real Worls Cash for non existen content to play with new mechs.

-- Mech are no content
-- Maps are no content

They are the framework or basis of this game.

-- Missions
-- Storylines to play
-- Game modes

Do some real DLCs...would have never though to say this...but even EA-Games does it better.

i understand your frustration, but it's pretty unrealistic to expect a relatively small developer like PGI to create a campaign mode for a free-to-play game.

what i would really love though is some sort of co-op mode where you hold out against waves of bots. i think that's something they could reasonably do, and it would be great for people who like mechwarrior but aren't interested in competitive multiplayer.

Whats with the lacklustre Pre-order package... Not even a couple of modules? I think I will wait thanks!

They started doing it with the bushwhacker unfortunately. I couldn't care less about decals.

[VitriolicViolet]

yeah the pre-order bonuses have sucked lately, i liked getting more modules.

I would buy this IMMEDIATELY if MOAR CONTENT came out. And i mean CONTENT not maps or mechs they arent really content. as i posted elsewhere i will immediately buy TWO FULL MECH PACKS IF there is even ONE new weapon released.

Meh.

[LORD ORION]

So many clan assaults.... THAT ARE BAD

First the marauder 2c, then the bushwacker and now the supernova. PGI must not have the funds in the bank to pay the tourney winners. That's three fanboi whale bait packages in a row.

[Jaspbo1]

Well damn, I bet good dollar the next 'mech would be an Inner Sphere 'mech, not another Clan Assault Battlemech. One serial number that makes this pack obsolete from the get go.

KDK-3.

Hey, wasn't the SuperNova supposed to be a Clan OmniMech? Or, due to "MechWarrior 3", am I missing something?

~D. V. "Dealing with old memories..." Devnull

basically, Dev..... completely erase anything build-wise from MW3. the physics engine was awesome and stuff..but.... that build system was crap and totally ignored canon.

that being said, despite the naysayers, the Supernova is probably gonna be a powerhouse, least in the hands of the right pilots. it IS a Clan Assault, after all. Even Gargoyles manage to do well at times, and they've got a lot less podspace.

hope it's an IS Omni, those started showing up around 3053-55, like the Raptor and Avatar, as well as the Blackhawk-KU.

we've gotten a bunch of Clan BattleMechs, why not give IS a taste of OmniTech?

[S Phoenix]

That's now 379 unique mech variants in the game - 379!


For only 4 game modes and a dead CW/FP mode

[Demos]

Supernova? Cool!

Pre-Order? Maybe

-->

see the early adopter rewards --> no, thanks. Can be bought later with Cbills...

[Widowmaker1981]

Sexy, yes.

Nostalgia. Yes.

But 325 engine cap, only two interesting variants which are behind extra paywalls (Hero and C) and no way to know how high mounted the ST ports are gonna be? Im going to pass on this one, at least till i see the model, and probably till C-Bills.

Energy draw makes this mech useless.

Dont know why you think this. The current pts-build allows to fire 3 cER-LL without penalty. Even dual 20s run cooler i think. I think the mech profits from ED.

[Falconer Cyrus]

I like it's exterior. Anyway SN is a bit more graceful than DireWolf and WarHawk.
(and surely not as ugly as Viper )))
May be I will even buy the pack
