"Destroyer of Worlds"

Let's just take a moment and appreciate how absolutely cool that tagline is. The game changer of the past year was arguably the Kodiak, and do you know its tagline? "Totem Mech."

Like, that's it. Plain, descriptive, boring.

But man... Supernova, Destroyer of Worlds, what a cool ring.
I swear, one of the title you get in game better be "Destroyer of Worlds." Will not accept anything less now.

Also, this is the first time I am truly considering purchasing the special pack. Did you guys see the paint scheme on the 1(S)? It's got the whole freaking galaxy on there! Whichever artist that did that is just brilliant. Again, can't say this enough, absolutely stunning. Completely fits the narrative.

With all that said, this mech better be quirked to hell to highlight its uniqueness, and why it will stand out as the "destroyer" of worlds. Anything less and the mech be left to fend for itself from the crooked GH systen, I will probably go berserk. You can't promise a destroyer of worlds and deliver a bad version of KdK-1.

Let's see those 30% laser duration reduction.
Let's see those -50% laser heat gen quirk.
Let's see those +20% laser range quirk.

I want to pilot a freaking Godzilla man. Destroyer of Worlds!

More mechs and little else.

Destroyer of worlds indeed.

[Dread Render]

Yup, This is a Mech collection game.
Now all they need to do is make it so we can trade them with each other.

The flaw must be that PGI never takes any mech off sale.
Then there would be rare mechs.
Now there are just expensive mechs.

There can only be one "Destroyer of Worlds" and that was the Mad Cat B in Living Legends.

Is that a meme? I don't get it.

The artwork for the Supernova is very good, the paint jobs on both mechs is, to me at least a winner for both for a change (often the S has a very bland PJ or the hero does)

The problem I have with it beyond being a mech that I just cant see offering up anything because PGI refuses to give clan mechs quirks worth mentioning is how often the artwork and ingame models just clash so hard.




I understand the Dire is more squished now because of it's rescale but it never looked nearly as good as the artwork. PGI's modelers really need to step up their game (and theres a lot of mechs including the Dire that they need to just redo and get right) if they didn't have the very talented Alex selling their mechs with his artwork, and had to rely on ingame models to sell them I think we can all bet they'd have sold a whole lot less mechpacks

I do agree that I did like "Destroyer of Worlds" very much.

I just wish there was some guarantee that this thing would get some quirks, especially on the non-hero variants.

[blood4blood]

Uhhhh.....Marvel Comics might have something to say.

Any mech I pilot is a Destroyer of Worlds

[TLBFestus]

Both the above stole it from SHIVA.

The Snova need some serious - heat generation etc for its supposed energy focus. Maybe have similar quirks like the Nova but some increase.
I gotta say, when I saw the Supernova on the main page, I got a bit intimidated and spooked by it. It looks so damn solid, heavy and the sharp red color in contrast to the rest of the mech makes it look almost.. scary.
Imagine this thing hunting you on a lava planet and you are in a Shadow Hawk or its older smaller cousin, the Nova.. With eerie ambience, ash and magma, rumbling and then silence.....

[Otto Cannon]

You don't need a destroyer of worlds in MWO. The day/night cycle is fast enough that the surface of all the planets would be ripped off and flung into space by the forces involved anyway.

[RestosIII]

More likely, one of the titles will just be "Sucker".

[razenWing]

I think one aspect overlooked is the fact that no source material (from what I can gather from Sarna and such) claim Supernova to be of that prowess. From all account, this is a second line mech, mimic king crab, but self sufficient.

Nothing would suggest this the Supernova is a "Destroyer of Worlds."

So for PGI to make this kind of proclamation, like really, if this mech is not quirked to hell so that this would rival the game changing-ness of KDK? I would not be satisfied.

(Offensive quirks too, I don't want to see +50 CT or some crap like that. This is a DESTROYER of worlds, not defender of worlds.)

Umm, the tagline isnt that because they're setting it up to be the best of the best of assaults - Its because a supernova in space is a force that is damn near unfathomable.

When that happens:

Metus Regem: WTB Loyalty Centurion, will trade all Invasion variants of Wave 1 and 2!
