I think the supernova needs an increased max engine. Not for the speed but for the extra heat sinks.(My current max is 33 with full weapons) Anyone agree disagree?

Maybe 350 or 375.(400+ if you really want a fun time) It would give it a few more heat sinks and let it fire a little more often for those laser builds. I could definitely fit more in given the builds possible.

I can't find a build I like enough. but adding bigger engines would definetly do it. Mostly because of the extra heat sinks added to laser boats like the SNV-3

Not going to happen. Would make it too good, and really, that's just not something that happens after launch unless there's a really serious need (and there's not).

From the loadouts I'm using a 350 engine would be perfect for the Supernova. It needs that one extra DHS slot for just about every build I make with an XL engine. It's a matter of cooling the lasers in certain builds properly without loosing jump jets so it's functional in what it is meant to do.

This build needs a 350 engine for the even 30 DHS which gives it the ability to fire exactly two alphas without overheating. any other config will not work and you have to sacrifice having any jump jets to get the extra heat sink. Given the Supernova is built on jump jets it should not have to loose one heatsink to cool properly. Especially when it's only one heat sink.

This would make the max speed from the supernova go from:

58.5 (62.9)

to

16.2*350/90 = 63 (67.725)

That is only an increase of 5kph!

The supernova has way to much free tonnage too easily with xl engines in too many builds. You literally can't use it all in many cases. It's very awkward to fill out sometimes. Slightly larger engines would help this greatly. Both from a tonnage standpoint and a cooling one.

The current setup only lets me do this:

The extra agility would also, rightfully, make this thing a little more fearsome!
