Novas?

[Jeremy Hunter]

A single SNSC/Nova bomber accompanied by two VHFs stripped a Scylla of most of it's weapons and let it run home for repairs.

It's OP if used correctly.

Several known issues have cropped up that people are reporting over and over. Please stop reporting anything listed here.

Working - Big ships aren't hit by Nova torpedos and missiles. Still an issue apparantly. Not sure what to do about this yet.

BTW 3 ships not being able to kill one ship, doesnt make them OP.

What part of "let" did you not understand?

So whats wrong with guns that blow off equipment?

I have a Geb and all I ever do is sub-target peoples thrusters and shields.

I understood it Jeremy, theres no need to be catty, but the thing is he got away, if his repairs were worse than just dying, he could just kill himself, or if they wernt, he could dock. Either way its not as good for the snubs, as killing him themselves.

Because we LET him go.

I was all for killing him.

But I got overruled >_>

On the other hand, against really large caps, they often won't do any hull damage at all. In 4.85, they would do consistent hull damage and spotty shield damage. In 4.86, it seems that's been reversed. If the target is especially large, like a Liberty Carrier or a Venator, Novas will only do hull damage from a certain angle. At least, this is what I've encountered in my experiences with Novas.

Aside from the prevailing bugs with Nova damage, they work well as long-range, spammable, fire-and-forget torpedoes. SNACs require a bomber to get in close, aim, and require a lot more power to fire. Each has their own merits. I consider Novas to be far from useless.

Zukenee explains what i countered. I was using my novas on Legate, Corsair Battleship, but it wasnt doing any damage to that big ship! If it cant hit and explode properly on that one, what are novas made for? They need to be fixed!

Also since Turret Steering came, how about buffing novas turn by 0.05? It was really hard to hit gunboats, now it makes impossible... But still, just fix them, it would be enough :nyam:

Some love for novas please :ylove:

!!!!!

And i want to say, how about making explosion bigger?

[P1vas]

Novas are fine.
Cool damage and efficiency, but possible to counter.
