Twin supernova - JeffreyT - 11-09-2009
So I just bought a Challenger with dual bomber torpedo slots and an extra cd. Drunk off the possible firepower I proced to purchase and mount two supernova's. Now I am feeling rather silly having learned that no bomber has the engergy to fire two.
Is there any advantage to having two supernova's that I am just failing to figure out? If not what should I do with that extra slot.

There is no advantage to having two SNACs at all, i would use the slot for a nova torp, it does more dammage than the SNAC and can be priceless for producing hilarious kills. Plus, i think the SNAC and nova are the only torps bombers can mount now.

Put a Nova Torpedo on the extra slot. Use SNs for shield and Novas for hull.

Mount a Nova there. The only possible advantage to having two SNs would be if it regen'd the energy to fire another before the first one cycled, but it doesn't.
We really need some new types of bomber weapons.

Hey, how about we fix battleship solaris, then give you weapons on something that already works well.
:)
If your BAF, you might want to mount a CD in that extra torp slot, I dont know though...

I hate to be negitive, but if you dont know what your talking about, keep your mouth shut. The challanger now has Two torp slots, and a CD slot.
I suggest getting a nova, which will work well on cruisers and battleships.

Yes, use the Nova Torp against large caps when their shileds are down.
It has the added bonus of damage components such as turrets. It makes your job a lot easier once you have blown off half your enemies guns!

I remember a Cap VIII Legate with a repair ship essentially had every single gun blown off by my and a few other bomber's Novas. It got boring after a while.

Is this true? I was halfway to suggesting a Sunslayer in the extra slot. Decent chunk of damage for no energy use. Never actually tried it out myself.

The overall appeal of dual torp bombers was back when you could mount a mini or a inf on it, so it was ideal for pieracy.
Now they just are there to make you buy nova torps and loose money.
