================================================================================================
Overview:
    Reuploading to be an addition to the [BASE] config. This is a classic custom from the old
    Solaris7 armories.
    
    The Nova Cat Y is a more than capable Sniper, and pilots obviously prefer to engage the
    enemy at standoff distances, although it is tough enough and fast enough to hold a line if
    need be.
    
    Consider running this in place of some of the more problematic canonical 'Mechs like the
    Hellstar. They play mostly similarly, but the lower armor obviously makes this one easier to
    remove from the field, the lower point cost will help one side's forces be more
    well-rounded, and the lower chance of inflicting Instant Death on any given target should
    help the game feel better all around.
