It's a decent Match Score farmer with those triple AMS HPs.

I'm not a fan of Novas myself, but i guess i'll need to agree to play the game so i'll do that when i have time to read through the terms.

I'm a little tired of doing that right now though, couldn't everyone have just acted on the up and up and saved me the trouble of dealing with this?

Logged in to the MWO site for the first time in... a few years.  When did I last play, mid 2014?  Can't remember.  Saw this.  I guess if I ever start playing again I'll have TWO mechs now.

A quick look at their updated policy (https://mwomercs.com/privacy), it seems that the major changes are:

Well there certainly a LOT of Novas now.  Hope it doesn't diminished the Mech too much with all those Hero variants out there.

I haven't found that mech all that cool to me, it's not as bad as heat hog the Prime is.
