' Wrote:In my opinion, the Nova is only good on a barghest/fafnir, to pirate or interdiction. Otherwise, it's a piece of crap, it's not worth it mounting it on a normal bomber, if you have no CD. And nova + CD is the worst loadout in the game.
I have to agree...a bomber without a CD is like a capship without a mortar...sure, you can win, but it's not the most efficient loadout...
On a Barghest is a different matter, however, as you can use a nova as a secondary weapon (a role it fills very well) without sacrificing the ability to make the enemy stay where you want them.
And, as for Novaing gunboats? Some hope...to even SN them, you have to close to like 200m...the only way to beat a GB with novas is if it's a Bretonian Gunboat (AKA flying brick), and you can maintain ~4k distance whilst spamming it.
