Nova/Prime

Release Date: December 16, 2014

Nova Prime is the primed variant of the Nova Warframe featuring more powerful stats: possessing a higher energy capacity and shield capacity, as well as an additional polarity.

Trivia

 * Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe after Nyx Prime to have two enhanced stats, in this case increased Shields and Energy over her normal version. ( + 25 base shield from the original lacking 75 shield )
 * She is also the first prime Warframe with a boost in shielding.
 * Nova Prime marks the first time that an Open Beta Warframe - Nova - has received a prime variant. The previous seven prime Warframes (Excalibur, Frost, Mag, Ember, Rhino, Loki, Nyx) are based on designs from the Closed Beta period.
 * Unlike previous prime Warframes, Nova Prime's gold parts can be recolored, which was made possible with the new Physical Based Rendering (PBR) techniques utilized in recent updates of the graphics engine. The Soma Prime, Vasto Prime and the Pyra Syandana Prime that came with Update 15.7 share the same feature.
 * Nova Prime's Null Star and Antimatter Drop both feature opaque gold spheres instead of the translucent spheres of the regular version.
 * Nova Prime's long ring neck design resembles the neck rings from the Kayan Tribe in Burma.
 * Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe to have a non-static model, the first being Rhino Prime, as her helmet and back have casings that open with advanced movement, channeling, and activation of abilities, causing her energy coils to glow more intensely.

Bugs

 * Her moving parts will often become reversed, staying open even when the player is standing still with no powers currently active, and zooming in with a weapon will close them, with them re-opening when exiting zoom. The only way to fix this issue (although it will continue to happen) is to use a power.
