I also note that 3050/U has an incorrect value for the torso armor; max is 24, they seem to have 18 front and 8 rear (probably forgot to change it to 6).

*Digs out one of his few paper BT books*

Side Torso armor should actually be 16 in the front and 8 rear.  Also, just to clarify, the total armor value has a value equal to the reduced armor, the 3050/U version comes in at 164 points.

I will make a note of the armor guys, thanks.

While I am reluctant to make any changes again you guys make a good point on the fixed heat sinks not being part of the engine so I will let you get away with that change.

Don't forget both changes in your fluff!

Now we must plan on how to get the Gargoyle to not have 16 heatsinks as standard.....

I say keep them as they all fit in the engine

Quicksilver Nova

Despite being out of production for 132 years, the Nova was scheduled to join the Quicksilver programme purely because large numbers of the durable Mech are still in service with many of the Clans that took part in REVIVAL as well as seeing regular service within the Homeworlds.

Because of the large number of Nova’s still in service, as well as their ease of repair thanks to the limited amount of advanced compounds used in their construction which makes them not only quick but also cheap to repair, the Nova could not be retired en-mass without weakening the Tourmans of several Clans. 

Thanks to the urgings of the Clan Hells Horses Scientists involved with the Quicksilver program it was found the four fixed heatsinks could be easily removed.  Unlike the Fenris which caused a small board-room ‘revolt’ with the Scientists involved with that program, the Nova’s heatsinks were not integral to the engine.  Instead the farings over them were almost purely cosmetic and could be easily removed without adversely affecting the Mech’s balance or its cooling.  This freed up a considerable amount of tonnage for the chassis which the Scientists eagerly took advantage of.

Variants

Prime – The Nova’s biggest flaw is its lack of a long-range punch.  Whilst the Clan ER Medium laser has the range of a Spheroid standard large laser, this is still considered a medium range weapon by most Clan Warriors.  And with the growth and spread of Star League technology from the Helm Memory Core, the Nova could and did often find itself at a disadvantage at long range until it could close the distance and bring its massed lasers to bear.
To fix this, the Hells Horses team simply removed one of the clusters of ER Medium lasers and replaced them with a single ER Large laser.  The cooling system was reinstalled and then upgraded to feature 19 double strength heatsinks.  And as a nod to the Nova’s original role of infantry support a pair of machine guns and half a ton of ammunition were also carried.   The result was a more flexible Mech that was able to engage targets at longer ranges and thanks to its weapon changes also ran significantly cooler.

A – Whilst keeping the same role of a direct fire support Mech the Quicksilver A saw significant changes to its weapon loadout.  A joint Mandril and Spirit development the new A removed the expensive ER PPCs which would be rotated to Mechs that were basically more valuable and useful.  The Spirits urged their replacement with their beloved ER Large lasers and these easily fitted into the farings under the Mech’s forearms whilst hand actuators were also installed.  A pair of ER Medium lasers were also retained for mid to short range firepower whilst strangely enough a flamer was also installed. This was a nod to the Mandrils as well as being useful for creating smoke and fire to obscure the Mech when in a sniping position.  The biggest Mandril influence though was for the installation of an expensive targeting computer, which would make the Mech even more formidable at all ranges.

B – Another Hells Horses design, the B is designed to engage hostile Mechs and Mechanized forces and was in part designed with experience from Wolf and Jaguar Warriors who had encountered large numbers of hostile heavy armour.  A pair of ER large lasers allow the B to reach out and cripple targets whilst for anti-armour work a quartet of Streak SRM-4’s, with 2 tons of ammunition shared between all four launchers allow the Mech to cripple tanks motive systems or shred the bags of hydrofoil craft.  The missile barrage is also useful against hostile battle armour and enemy Mech forces.

C - The original Nova C was crippled by a confusing weapons mix and a lack of ammunition for its main weapon.  Whilst the gauss rifle was retained, an extra ton of ammuniton was then fitted to increase endurance.  The short ranged and mid ranged weapons were also removed and a LRM-15 with 2 tons of ammuniton were instead fitted, allowing the Quicksilver Nova C to engage targets at long range with heavy firepower.  The ammuniton heavy load also betrays its Ghost Bear influences who were the designers of this variant.  Thanks to their greater logistical base their Scientists felt that it was better suited for their kind of warfare.

D - Built to be the heavy infantry support platform the Nova was billed to be, the D is built to hunt targets in built up areas as well as engage hostile forces.  To this end it is armed with a fearsome battery of pulse lasers.  Built around a large pulse laser and a quartet of medium pulse lasers.  Anti-infantry work is done by four machine guns with a ton of ammo being more than enough for the guns.  The mech's electronics have been expanded to include an ECM, active probe and TAG.  Unfortunately it can run a bit hot but careful weapons selection will allow a pilot to utilise the Mech's firepower fully.  This variant has been spotted in large numbers in Smoke Jaguar territory performing internal security patrols and taking part in sweeps for gurilla forces. It is believed that the Jaguars are putting their less skilled Warriors in the Nova D, where its pulse lasers are of the most use in countering their lesser gunnery skills.

*EDIT*

F - A Clan Cloud Cobra and Star Adder development, the F is designed to counter hostile aircraft and is armed with a LB-5X autocannon with 2 tons of ammunition to allow it to carry out this role.  Its utility against vehicles has also made it popular with the Falcons who often face large numbers of FedCom vehicles supporting their Mechs.  An ER large laser and pair of SRM-6's also allow it to engage Mechs, and thanks to each SRM having its own ammo bin, there is the capacity to take different ammunition types.

I stuck with the canon heatsinks since if small mods are available then we start getting into the "why not add ferro-fibrous protection?" and such. Seemed like a can of worms - and frankly, pretty much all of the configurations here need those heatsinks.

Overview:
With the bulk of the Fire Mandrill's medium 'Mechs Novas rather than the newer and more modern designs that had emerged from the Quicksilver trials, Amanda Carrol proposed that rather than the expense of phasing out the Novas, that the Clan instead invest in creating a new production line for parts or even new chassis and obtain 'Mechs discarded by other Clans in favour of Quicksilver designs.

The motion failed to pass the fractious Clan Council (and the Grand Council might well have censured the expense of propping up an aging design) but Carrol then provided a second, more modest proposal that captured the attention of the Fire Mandrills - perhaps her goal all along. The Nova would not be vanishing from Toumans, so she suggested that the Fire Mandrill Kindraa each develop a new configuration in celebration of their diversity and share them with the other Clans to raise their prestige. The approval of the measure also raised Amanda Carrol's own prestige, possibly positioning her to take the position of Khan in the near future.

Capabilities:
Clan Fire Mandrill have long found that the staggering firepower of a Nova Prime was almost impossible to use without massively overheating. In addition the range was only modest, which on a relatively slow  proved limiting. Kindraa Sainze presented a solution to this by replacing half of the medium lasers with a pair of extended-range large lasers that could be used to soften up a target on advance or to engage faster targets that declined to enter close or medium range.

Despite their usual restrained politics, Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga had a long-standing preference for the brutal and smashing power of paired ER PPCs on their Novas. However, the anti-missile systems felt redundant and the ammunition was a dangerous liability. They therefore removed the systems in favour of an extra heatsink and a targeting computer.

Predominantly aerospace operators, the Beyl-Grant still operated a number of Novas and wished to develop an improved air defense configuration. Staring with the Nova B they replaced the ultra-autocannon with a LB 5-X to make use of cluster rounds. Adding a second ton of ammunition, the clan elected to retain the machineguns for a secondary anti-infantry role. While this suggests a lack of focus it may more reflect the Beyl-Grants use of Mechs in a supporting role.

Arguably the best Mechwarriors of Clan Fire Mandrill (or at least so they would argue), Kindraa Payne responded to the new Nova configurations by taking on the old Nova C. Reasoning that the main advantage of the gauss rifle was low heat - arguably irrelevant on the cool-running Nova - they replaced it with an ER PPC and moved the SRMs to the right arm, greatly expanding the missile load. The result is a mix of hole-punching and crit-seeking that can deliver shattering blows to Mechs much larger than the Nova.

Reflecting their cooperative nature and wish to support other elements of their fractious Clan, the Kindraa Kline have developed a new fire support configuration role for the Nova, switching the autocannon of the Nova D for a second missile launcher and adding artemis targeting. The result may not be the most effective design alone but should zellbrigen be broken it's a formidable support to the rest of its Star.

Kindraa Mattila-Carrol developed their Nova configuration to cater to the freeborn and bondsmen in their second-line Clusters. The highly accurate pulse lasers are relatively undemanding in terms of gunnery, something that can be important if the relatively weak Kindraa must rush replacement warriors into duty. Yet at the same time, a skilled Mechwarrior can make maximum use of the weapons, adjusting weapons fire to compensate for the heat of jump-jets and targeting weak points on a 'Mech.

Primarily using the Nova to support their Elementals, Kindraa Mick-Reese scaled down the lasers of the prime to small lasers for point-blank assaults and fitted two missile launchers to be used providing longer-range fire support. A beagle active probe serves if the Nova must follow the Elementals into very dense terrain to back them up. By design no weapons are fitted to the torso where elementals being carried might obstruct them.
