Nova Torps

[Fletcher]

Nova torpedoes don't blow up to cds, unless specifically targetted. Novas aren't bad - just you have to be careful using them. If you are careful and use them well, you'll find they're great at killing or stripping big caps than supernovas.

The delay is so that the nova torpedoes don't kill fighters, bombers and gunboats easily in jousts.

Then explain how they're blowing up in my face! I fire them and turn away instantly to try and maneuver and evade capital fire...

I've taken a crap load of CD's coming close to a capital with my Nova launcher, its hilarious that even when I come under of behind the darn thing, they still hit me and kill me...:(

One question, why wasn't this added to the SNAC to stop the jousting with it?

[Derkylos]

I've managed to kill a fighter with a Nova by ramming them, before...only reason I died was my reluctance to use shield bats...

TBH, I'm not seeing the "awesomeness" in any of these new weapons, Novas, Screamers, etc...stick to the good old SN/TCD loadout...much more predictable and versatile.

The SNAC is an energy-based gun, not an ammo-based torpedo. Can't have the hangfire, as far as I know.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

it can, if you count for the energy buildup phase and discharge

Um? What? What the Nova does is, you press the trigger (with the energy you need and refire delay passed) and the torpedo flies in a straight line for a while and waits for the engines to kick in.

No, the torpedo hangs there, stopped, in space. I fired it while at thrust speed once, and it hit me in the back.

Correct...

But the Supernova Antimatter Cannon (SNAC) does not hang in space.

The Nova Torp hangs, kicks into gear and then starts moving -fast-. By the time it's really going the thing really hops along.

Not that I can hit a gunboat with the damn thing, but they're fun against transports and cruisers... Uh... If those don't move either.

A pair of Nova Torps really hurts 'em if they just you. Insta their shields on the first pass, then their hull on the next. Of course, that not only requires them to be an idiot but usually results in you instakilling yourself as well.
