Misc

Description

Some call the asymmetrical hull of the Nova-class "Unsightly", while others call it "Full of character". As divisive as the design is, it's generally understood that this cruiser has some terrifying anti-shield capabilities - especially for something so fast.

Description

The Nova is a powerful Spinal-based Cruiser. The spinals that are fired from this ship come from the left and right wings. It is mostly flat in shape, which can make it hard to hit.

Appearance

The interior is nothing more than a simple cockpit containing the pilot's seat.

Advantages

High Spinal Firepower.
Good maneuverability.
Has decent health.
High damage to Shields due to its laser arsenal.
A good ship to support a fleet.
Flat shape makes it hard to hit with heavier weapons.

Disadvantages

Very low Turret Firepower.
Low Hull damage, with only the Medium Cannon against it.
Very vulnerable blindspots.
Relatively low health.
Slightly slower than other ships of its class.

Strategy

Make sure to hit with all Spinals.
Go in large ship's blind spots and harass them with your Lasers.

Version History

Received a remodel in version .67e?

Trivia

The original model had a large cannon on its back, which may have made new players think it was much more powerful than it actually was.
When some players buy it and look at it, it looks very armed.
