I remove the cAP for some leg armor and a lower arm actuator (it's nice to converge your lasers, but having some lateral movement on 10 of the 12 is imo pretty necessary). Then it's this super over-sized nova with less heat management problems and more armor. Seems to be one of the best variants.
4/5, Due to changes to µPL there are now better builds on the chassis. Still, this is a good oldskool alternative with a one-two punch.
