SNAC and Nova - reavengitair - 08-21-2009
I honestly no longer see why bother.
I have never hit a fighter... well... once... but...
I have never hit an experienced fighter in a bomber with a snac. I have never been hit by a snac, except one day when I started disco.

I honestly say you guys need to balance things better. I have yet to see more then a handful of people using nova over snac. I really think snac needs a slight nerf and nova a slight buff to make it an actual choice instead of snac by default.

Or, you might actually consider that the Nova serves a different purpose to attack Cap-ships which is, stripping of their guns. And if properly used can be devastating against Fighters and Bombers.

Then why dont more people use it? Seems like a nonpoint to me about which weapon to choose.

If you practice alot with bombers you will come to the conclusion that using the SNAC is more versatile and capable of more destruction. Also, having your secondary as a Nova Torp is something that I have seen many use, depending on your gun load out (Missiles, shield busters, hull busters) a Mini Razor/Inferno might replace that secondary slot that the Nova Torp uses. Also, if you are a pirate/bounty hunter/mercenary then it is of course a CD you are looking for.
All in all, Nova Torp is regarded more as a secondary torp slot weapon, rather than the primary one. The primary is almost always a SNAC unless you are one of those Bombers who specializes in combating Fighters and Bombers, then... you go for a Dual Mini Razor build.

I think they are both fine as it is.

People dont use it cause anyone with half a braincell would CD the Nova before it gained speed. So , insta-suicide much ?

Wrong on that one pal. The Nova Torp survives CD missiles unless you actually target the Nova Torp itself (and trust me you don't really got time for that when facing a Bomber, nevertheless to start furiously clicking on the screen hoping you target the Nova Torp as it is coming after you).
The splash damage the Train CD cause is not enough to blow it up, providing you with plenty of time to move away from the Nova Torp once it is fired.

Also, the you must use a Mossie CD as opposed to the TCD to detonate a Nova.
All I can say to this thread is 'Not again...'. I see Sina has most everything else covered.

Thats my problem, the snac is the end all to end all, and has no risk when using it. Where the torpedo has risk and isnt as good as the snac. I guess thats my problem where I feel that bombers should have an actual choice about which to use instead of the current "hmm should I go snac or snac?".

2 TCDs can blast a Nova. I tested that out myself. ANd targeting Novas aint that hard to be honest. I remember when I was joking around in Conn with a friend id target the Novas and shoot them down with my Cruiser missiles before they hit me.
Well , that aint the only thing that is wrong with the Novas. They are slower and the ammo is costly.
