Nova MK2 fighter

Description
Nova MK2 fighter

I always thought the X4 Nova fighter for the argon looked ugly, its basically a tube with two bricks with engines attached to it for wings.

So i made a simple kitbash, combining the two small landing wings from the default nova with the design of the Teladi kestrel, and adding a custom tail on top, the end result is something that looks just a tiny bit closer to X3's Nova, and something that looks a lot like a MK2 Viper from BSG (hence the name)

what does this mod change

it adds an all new ship to the Argon and Antigone wharfs, as well as a couple into the AI sector patrols.
for the most part the stats are similar to the default nova, with a slight change in speed.

It does however have 3 weapon hardpoints instead of 2, with one being able to support missile launchers.

Also supports paint jobs and all that good stuff, and there's an optional VRO patch.

Very good mod, this ship was missing .... Is better fighters - corvettes to have an odd number of gun slots ... 1-3-5-7

@Jim No it doesn't require a new save.

I don't like kitbashes, but by golly this cute little fighter may change my mind. Great work.

it could definitely need another shield generator, but it looks really nice
