how much energy do nova torpedos use?
(the reason i am asking this, is that i am considering making a duel nova bomber.)

18000 according to FLStat.

On an average bomber about 3/4 of your energy. Believe me though, it's a BAD idea. Unless your like thinking of creating a completely anti-battleship character.

yeah...
i was gonna do that on my recycler..but 1 drains the power matrix....i use the snac instead, unless i cant get a decent shot, then i nova spam for the win

I prefer the SNAC, more reliable to hit it's target and doesn't require any ammo either.
Still, dual Nova Torps would be a bad idea. Imagine someone with a CD and they see you firing dual torps. I'm sure you can imagine what would happen.

i cant wait to see those gunboats ....
i mean, one double nova pass takes their sheilds out, the next takes their hull out.
i will be sure to record it sometime.

i was thinking of something like this....but more...LOLpwnz
i was tempted to bring back errant.venture in a rogue gunboat or tridente, with nothing but kusari dragonfly's.
but that would just be sad.

Can only carry 70 ammo, though, which means you might run out in large battles.
Of course, if you have to fire your Novas 35 times...
Anyway, wasn't there some problem with Novas not lowering transport/capship shields because the explosion often doesn't hit the shield generator?

Yes, Osiris for example

Novas can't be blown up by CD's anymore.
But yes, they aren't good for groupfights. Grimly made bad experiences with them about 2 days ago:DKilled himself, and 2 of his mates (or was it 3).

For some reason, TORPS do no damage at all to Battleships. It's a bug or something. I've seen this happen dozens of times.
They deal damage to gunboats tho..........which they can't hit.
And then also, as mentioned above, you're gonna run out of them in any kind of battle.
And even if you manage to survive, you won't be able to resupply your ship with new ones, because only God knows where they're sold.
And even if you discover one place where they're sold, you'll have to travel across half of the Sirius to get there.
