    SNV-A didn't make the cut?? i.e. Boba Fat
     
  3. Boba Fat is a better all around build. Because of its secondary weaponry, I wasn't including it in the boat category.

    SNV only has a max 325 engine and speed really help positioning, which is very critical for ATMs. So unless you hate the Mad Cat II ears, you tend to get more for your money with a MCII-4.

    I'll add Boba Fat and a JJ version, since the Supernova does have a lot better armor density without the ears.

    So is there a winner here? I see pro's and con's.
     
  5. Winner is which one matches with your favorite pros and acceptable cons.

    Blood Asp has ECM and works well. If that is too slow for you try the Scorch. If you don’t have the hero try one of the others.

  6. A word of warning, it is much better to have some short to medium range weapons. Your match score floor will be higher and less games that you get caught out by a light.
