You know you can take into the testing grounds without even buying it now? They added button for you to do that. So you can get a feel for it.
I know but static targets do nothing to tell you how a build actually performs in battle.

You can't honestly post a build for any 'Mech and expect no one to give you any feedback about your build. With so much of this game won and lost in the 'Mechlab, its very obvious when a build isn't up to par, for experienced players. Further, the Boiler itself is currently a sub-par platform, as previously stated. Getting upset when people offer such advice is silly, especially considering the subforum you're posting in. It doesn't matter if you asked for it or not.
That said, I can take this build out later today, fully skilled, and I'll let you know how it feels to me. I already don't like my Boiler much though, so expect a somewhat biased opinion.
I knew people would criticise, that is why I explicitly said I do not want such comments.
I really despise meta and people who ride it like meta is a sacred text. I am not above going with a meta build but I am not gonna ignore the fun of building and playing a variation of builds and mechs just because someone calls it subpar.
I like how Supernova looks like. That's all there is to it. And I like running odd builds. It is not about something being "weaker" compared to MadCat. In fact, lower engine gives me more to play around with, 58 is not bad for a 90 ton mech.
And thanks for giving it a try. I know the results will depend a bit on your playstyle as well but that's ok. I tend to play agressively in everything.
