Critter and Cleaner on the Battlefields - Stay close to your Lance and burn away opened parts of your enemies.

 

It is a matter of some debate but I don't believe you need 2 tons of machine gun ammo for 4x machine guns. Dropping that extra ton allows you to upgrade 2 small lasers to mediums (great for extra poke and damage). Sure the build runs hotter but the efficiency is still above 40%. So with some fire discipline and proper weapon grouping heat shouldn't be an issue.

 

I really didn't have that much time to test drive ALL the builds that i wanted to. So i just tinkered around for a few minutes and came up with this on Sunday^^ I'll pull this build of yours in consideration. Agreed that 2000 MG Ammo might be enough.

 

Having a lot of fun with this build! I think there is too much LBX ammo though, so here is my improvement, with half a ton less of LBX ammo and full leg armor.

 

Built mine with the nva-s left arm omnipod and 3cermlas instead of the cermlas/cerslas mix.
Slightly higher alpha and a bit more range.

5/5

Love the build. With the addition of targeting computer I removed 1t of MG and 1/2t of AC ammo to max armour (minus 2 points in the head) and get a targeting computer I. For this build, can't have enough crit chance .

I'm also trying out the ultra AC5 for some added range as I stuck with the 6 cERSL's. Figured that with the TC1 I'd have enough crit chance to get the same effect as the LBX.

 

Gave this beauty 5/5. For me, it is amazing. I love the way Atlas-esuses(sp? ) will backup when they see the 4 MG light up and hear the AC chugging away. Came out of a slump with this build. Thanks for the feedback on this one guys.

 

Not the best Weaponcombo for the Nova, but a solid one. 4 Stars from me.

The Goods:
- Good Critdamage for second half of the game, even though a LBX10 would be better
- very heat efficient
- Arms-Aiming with the Main Firepower

The Bads:
- Overall low Firepower&Range compared to the Laserboats- or UltraDakka Builds, so it's weak at the first half of the Match.
- Main Firepower in the Arms - Skilled Pilots would shoot off the Arms from Distance before you can do any serious damage leaving you only 4 MGs, which is hopeless against full armored Attackers

This build is good for doing a Cleaning Up/Critkiller Job, just like my Skirmisher Build for the Shadowhawk. I like it. But don't get caught in the first half or you won't deal any good scores.


Here is my MOD for a bit more max DPS Firepower to get the Critkill faster & placing the LBX5 into the Torso to keep some Firepower when losing Arms:


or go Larger!

 

Nice build Proximo, and very nice tweaks Blagg. Ive been really frustrated with Novas lately, and I think this build fits my play style very well. Thanks guys!

 

Still a 5/5 for me.

 

My versions:
Would prefer some mid-range ability:

 

I run this exact build, except with 1 ton less of MG ammo and a TC1.

This setup really makes me like my nova
