Re: [FT] Who said Nova cannon's were unbalanced?

G'day Schoon,

But is it that possible anymore (well in vector at least, can't say for
cinematic sorry)? Unless the target does something pretty stupid in the
first place I wouldn't have said it was that possible anymore, you're
far
more likely to get dumped on yourself not being able to fire anything
else.
When you regularly see BBs etc let llose with 21 dice (e.g. <12" NSL BB)
then the wave guns etc just don't seem that extreme anymore. 

>Likewise, it's possible to get "unlucky" and have the reverse happen.

Considering your talking to me, that's probably more likely the case ;)

Thanks
