EMA-229-X Nova
by David Crowe

The newest Ettaran Mekton, and a personal favorite, perhaps because it is reminiscent of Dynamo Joe. The Nova has more firepower and is better protected than the Vengeance and overmatches the Aggendi Warrior by a considerable margin.

The force screen is the Nova's best feature, as it allows it to completly ignore the ranged weapons of the above meks. Again, I have applied the old MTS parry factor modifer to the MZ+ reset time. Still no ejection system, alas. Given that it doesn't need to carry a shield, a melee weapons link for the beam swords would make it much nastier in close combat.
