I did not think I wanted this 'mech, was never fond of it in MW3. Dat camo doe

[3xnihilo]

That looks pretty big for a light mech

[Kaptain]

Yet another clan assault, that is also a battlemech!, The supernova has always been one of my fav mechs... but 3 clan assault battlemechs means its definitely time to lift some of the clan omni build restrictions.

Well, it's not like you can do much with the SuperNove that you can't do with bears. Bears have more energy hardpoints for energy boating, more ballistics for ballistic boating, higher hardpoints for actually shooting things, higher engine cap... and max of 4 missiles in either chassis.

I am sure the Supernova can do *something* better...

Looks a little tall, should be lower profile, kinda king crabish. Which if memory serves is what the clans based the mech on.

[AngrySpartan]

Are you kidding me? Yeeeess!!! Gigadrill!!! Never expected this one to be so soon! I'm sure it will be all around worse than MAD-IIC, by I love broken things, especially with such quirky mechs like SNova!

Just don't screw it's hiboxes pls, I finally can make a proper clan zombie mech from Nova-3!

PS: When will we get NovaCat decals and camo? pls?

The Supernova was always an ugly mech, but Alex did a good job with it, all things considered.

The -A and -3 look like great variants (splat and zombie), while the Boiler is going to give the King Crab a run for its money (at least the AC40 builds).

[Pugsley]

They are really making me not feel like preordering mechs now.

I would trade a $3 dollar cockpit item and 6 mil Cbills for the chamce to see of the mech is garbage or not any day of the week.

That being said, I may actually spring for the full pack for this. King Crab with Clan tech? Sign me up.

[LorDGuilhotinA]

looks SUPER!!! realy nice artwork and a promissing mech.

Well, LB40 + some energy/SRM backup looks even meaner to me. And the C variant have a potential to become clan Stalker if hitboxes and ST hardpoints will be fine (edit: it would not - too distinct STs)

Damn, it's so tempting to actually get this one!

No argument from me there. I'm just saying that CBMs>OMs. As we flush out options for CBMs at every point in the weight scale OMs become less and less relevant.

Dear PGI

Shut up. AND TAKE MY ******' MONEY!

[banana peel]

Boats are better than cobbled-together rafts.

Boats have seamless integration of weapons systems and firing solutions. Boats use a common ammo type.

Rafts with mixed loadouts have to mix ammo and use 3+ crosshairs to make their shots all hit the same place when deployed against a moving target.

Boats win.

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

Nope, not an omnimech
