If you're gunna be the bad guy you may as well do it with style! Enjoy the Cartoon as we take a journey into the magical world of the NSB launcher. ![1719424784766.webp 1719424784766.webp](https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/data/attachments/21/21380-1572945caf8930170958b8415d03679a.jpg?hash=8uqjKQIjqN)
Have you ever looked your enemy deep in the eyes of your enemy during a fight and pointed at him while saying "I'm not touching you" repeatedly?
If yes, you probably main the Nodal Support Bit Launcher!
A batch of 12 "finger sized drones" that form a "cloud" around the Mindy are capable of delivering HUNDREDS of rounds per minute upon your foe. Being classified as a mighty T7-8 artillery piece it is clear that this is even less likely to one-hit kill tanks than the Aetheric Pulse Cannon. Now for my obligatory explanation as to why.
What is a Nodal Support Bit?
Seen in science fiction series like Gundam, they are basically guns minus the furniture for human plus a propulsion system. We can see the NSBs in this article to the leg mounted NSB launchers classified at T2. So essentially it's a hoard of NSPs going brrrrttt, the definition of death by a thousand cuts. So why bother with such a crazy low powered weapon on your power armor armor? The answer is easy. It's 12 NSPs! No need to worry about missile spam anymore, you can swat them at lightspeed. Hoard of Rixxicor got you pinned down? Not anymore! Need to pacify an unruly mob? no need to spill blood here, set to stun and let slip the bits of riot control! Peek corners, surveillance via ventilation, and good luck shooting them down. It does everything it says on the tin. Support Bits are here to support your bits!
What is the change?
Again applying the WepLim method of weapons scaling, 2 T2 weapon are equal to a T3, 2 T3 = T4 and so on. It's the perfect opportunity to consider this as an extremely flexible weapon system that can focus fire into a Tier Equivalent Weapons Group up to T6 if you bring the leg pods too, all using flying NSPs. As this article has never been updated to v3 we can assume that the T7-8 is just as v3 conversion rules state, "
the rough conversion offered above is indeed 'rough'." I'm sure there is no one debating a hoard of 12 NSPs equals an aether cannon like found on the Nodatchi.
