Overview:
The Nova Cats took major losses during the Abjuration, especially to the second-line
Galaxies which made up the bulk of their troops in the Kerensky Cluster. In response to Khan
West's demand for a powerful but inexpensive second-line assault BattleMech, Nova Cat
scientists decided to take a proven 'Mech and enhance it. The 'Mech they chose for these
modification was the Supernova, a 'Mech which is extremely common in Clan Nova Cat.
Capabilities:
The Supernova II is ten tons heavier than its predecessor, but carries the same armament.
The Nova Cat scientists dedicated most of the additional weight not taken up by the engine
to add a few more heat sinks and an ECM suite. The last bit of tonnage went into rectifying
the Supernova's only real flaw: its weak armor. Although the Ferro-Fibrous armor seems to go
against Khan West's desire for an inexpensive 'Mech, the increase in cost is minimal. This
is especially true when one compares the cost of repairing a damaged, heavily amored 'Mech
to the cost of replacing a destroyed, ligtly armored 'Mech.
Deployment:
Supernova IIs are being deployed in Clan Nova Cat's second line Galaxies, either as command
'Mechs or as replacements for damaged or destroyed Supernovas. Although the physical
similarities between the Supernova and Supernova II make it difficult to be sure, it is
suspected the Clan Wolf-in-Exile also fields several of these machines.

I agree with Blackhand that the difference between this mech and it's official smaller cousin is minimal. I would stay with the standard machine instead of redesigning the mech and altering the production lines. Especially when you can just apply FF armor to the existing design to get full armor. The rating is low, because I can't see the reason to make this mech, not because the mech is bad.

I don't see a major difference between the Supernova and this mech. Its almost more effort than its worth to add the tonnage to this mech and get essentially heat sinks. Kind of uninspired for a II design.
Like I say above I'd swear its the cannon mech for all intents and purposes.

Now here's a nice idea, although it's a shame you couldn't get the heat curve a bit lower. I rather question the need for jump jets here. Sure, it's slow, but it's also a fire support design.
