When does she release for EST timezone? Is it 1900 Monday or 1900 Tuesday? I'm really really looking forward to this mech and really just want to start killing stuff w/ her.

Join Sean Lang to explore the build options of the Supernova? *Takes Boiler, puts 2 ER PPCs and 2 Gauss Rifles on it.* There I saved you from watching a 10 minute video.

Looks like the walking animation hangs on the left foot rise, similar to what was going on with the Atlas not too long ago. You can easily see the difference in the closest step to the camera.

The Supernova's side torso hardpoints are reasonably high, so I can see the SVN-C being ok versus a Warhawk when running quad ER PPC or Large Pulse.
The Boiler was obviously going to be an ok mech due to being able to run dual gauss/dual ER PPC.

The SVN-A will likely just be used by potatoes to boat LRMs, although it will be workable with 4x Large Pulse + 4x ASRM6.

And the SVN-1, SVN-3 and SVN-B will inferior to the Warhawk; those are definitely the worst Supernova variants.

why a planet actually, what has this to do with a supernova? could have made a cool hanging with an exploding star

Maybe the Supernova has found it's niche

Cockpit allows you to see and shoot down UAV's easily

meta setup will not be arm based wepaons, so you can guess all you can do is calling the UAV's but not hitting them in your boiler

gameplaywise, C and boiler cna be viable as they have sufficient posible loadouts and also some nice St hardpoints.

I don't know if I like it or dislike it. it feels a little to fat to me. I feel it should be more sleeker like my miniature.

I am going to have to strike this comment. looking ant the other pictures and videos of it, She looks really spot on to my miniature. looks good cant wait to get mine and need to get the other builds including the hero. just not the (S) package I still say they are over priced. only worth $25 in my own opinion.
but nice work on it.

(...) I just wish they found an actual use for those screens that just show random colors and shapes, like how many heat sinks you have (like they use to), weapon status, ammo status, team/ lance status IE, who is still alive. Yes I know you have the HUD for all of that, but it would be cool to turn it off and project that data on the screens for more immersion.

Funnily, there were some working screens before. Or should I say sometimes working. Well, the ammo screen worked sometimes.
At least the kills screen is still there and working, looks kinda arcady now, but it works.

Does the lack of patch notes the day before a patch mean that the Supernova is the only thing being patched tomorrow?

(yes, I know it will likely show up by patch time).

[sCOREscream]

For all Supernova fans, Mech Warrior Fans and for PGI and the great design of this mech, thanks!

ok, heres my 2 cents worth, ive only been playing for a couple months now, and every mech that has been released since i started playing has had some sort of event to go with it, linebacker, marauder iic, etc. So i figured i would short my bills this month and get the supernova thinking there would be an event to go with it, even just for the SN since theres no real holiday corresponding with the release of the mech, but alas, nothing yet.
So i have this ultra slow assault mech in my garage just waiting for a chance to show me what it can do for the leaderboards and hoping to be able to unlock camo patterns or something.
Do we have a release event planned for this one like the others or is it just getting swept under the rugs?

[Mycroft000]

They'll announce the leaderboard event tomorrow. They always give people a couple of days to Elite the mechs before the events start in an effort to let people start the event on an even footing.

You didn't like it? I was able to pull off over 500 damage with no upgrades on a few different variants last night.

[NighthawK1337]

My only complaint appearance-wise is that the side torso vents are too big. It makes it too easy to isolate and pick off. It may benefit to making the vent slant a bit and make it smaller like in the art not the perpendicular vent it is now. Other than that, I have nothing else to say but it's a gorgeous looking mech.

Just one question post countdown...

Why were the quirks for the Supernova not announced? I learned about them through Pariah's videos and then in the Smurfy's mechlab.

I "kind of" expected them to be listed on the MWO internet page ...

PGI's got more important things on their plate right now.
