I've been waiting for these to become available for c-bills.

These are going to be my new garage project. Tinker, tinker, tinker.

Supernova... hmm....? Yeah, why not .

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Oh man I should be cleaning for the repairguys coming after night but I really need to try the Supernova out.

[-Ramrod-]

Supernova is too damn slow. The Assassin is a very good mech. Especially with most of the survival tree unlocked for it.

[SuperFunkTron]

For those on the fence about the Supernova, know that you will be running lasers, you will be running warm, and you are not built for moving fast. That said, if you put the effort into it figuring this mech out, you will pump out crazy amounts of damage. When they first came out, I was putting 600-1000 damage in quick play and I saw many other players pulling big numbers like that too. Anyone who tells you the mech is useless or not worth the time is just throwing you off of a good mech.

[Tordin]

Supernova is great! I love the SNV 1 and 8 x ERLL, with a decent heat management and you can get high dmg overall, chainfiring the lasers. Burning the armor of anything!

Depends what kind of missiles. I run mine with 2x ERLL (yes yes they're "awful" weapons but I found them more useful than 4 MPL), a TAG, 2x aLRM20 (possibly without artemis, I don't remember) and 2x S-SRM4 for close range pepper spray.
I run my SNV-1 with 2x ERLL and 6x MPL, fully elited with the old skill tree I could happily alpha twice without overheating but I have to be more careful these days. You're not designed to be fast, you're designed to be the huge hulking Death Star that a careless medium or heavy walks around the corner to

If you want to purely get in close and brawl, I'm thinking:

4x SRM6+A, 4x MPL, STD 325, 24 DHS, single JJ Link

Note: I built this earlier in game, in the Mechlab, but I haven't bought it and run it yet.

This could potentially put a serious dent in my LFE budget...

Nah, that's reserved only for the 100-ton Clan Mechs. Maybe '4x C-LRM15+Artemis' or '4x C-LRM10+Artemis' for those crazy enough to LRM with the SuperNova 'SNV-A' Variant.


Frankly, I'm waiting for a (C-Bills) Sale, before I choose to pick any up. But, it would fit with the Current Event...

I've seen Proton trolling around in one doing 1700 damagd on Polar Highlands.

All you have to do is stick a Clan Active Probe, 1 Tag, and a TC sized on how quickly you want to lock targets down and you can go nuts with this thing. Just make sure that you let your team mates know to keep an eye on you in case you get rushed

[YUyahoo]

Sigh...I remember a time when PGI used to have 24 hour "flash sales" whenever the newest mech was released (it was a good time, the the $20 packs had 30 days premium time and the $40 packs had 60 days)...I guess I'm now officially like my parents were, always looking to the past when things were better lol!

Don't count on 11 Random PUGs to save your rear in a bad situation. They don't (and will usually never) understand the damned meaning of TeamWork. Bring some Small (or Medium) Lasers of some kind, and some Double Heat Sinks. Otherwise you can expect to get killed repeatedly, instead of being the one who's effective and doing the killing.

Yeah, this is the only one that really caught my eye (the Boiler has great hardpoints but not worth the money really). I was thinking max the speed tweak out and go 4 medium pulse 4 srm6 artemis, but with the recent nerf to mobility and torso speed I doubt this thing can shield and twist well enough to brawl.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Got so much monies I had to pick some up Supernovas, the odd thing is that I ended up buying three. I know the rules have changed to level up but I could only see three distinct varieties. If they turn out to be good, I'll add the Boiler too on the list. Now I just need some free time for gaming

Roll on the weekend !
