Allow me to share with you all this joyous moment (read: horrible travesty), as I have discovered a wonderful use (read: incredibly stupid idea) with respect to the unappreciated Cicada-3C.

Feast your eyes on this powerhouse of terror, whirlwind of destruction, and unstoppable force of meowfulness (read: the dumbest thing you're likely to see all day):

Is your mind blown? Is this the worst mech imaginable? Feedback is appreciated.

PS - .... And no, I'm not serious.

Excellent design, right up there with the 8 PPC battlemaster

Thats what I like about this game:

The sense of Humor in its community.... Love to see this sort of thing played as a bot build on a map just to see the faces of those it swatted...

I'm not sure that one is useful, but it probably is because of the success of its highly related cousin:

they laughed when i first introduced dual ac 20 cicada before this thread - now behold!
Dual gauss Blackjack with 30 shots and 77.2 kph - but no armour - 1 jumpjet

however with no armour and gauss's range this forces you to become a sniper!
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...72fbdb4057b9607



Smurfy isn't showing any extra tonnage from Ferro fibrous upgradE?!





OR you can go 67.3 kph - Dual gauss - no armour - 40 shots - 1 jumpjet
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ed1f739c794ab73
if you want 50 gauss shots you will need to go 49.5 kph or 57.4 kph with no jumpjet


This makes you the ONLY dual gauss jumpjet mech in the game

Hey Kesuga7. Smurfy won't show any extra tonnage from ferro fibrous because there IS NONE. Just as you said, it has no armor. So if it literally has no tons of armor, even having ferrofibrous on the mech will mean no gained tons, because there is not even ONE ton of armor to be 12% lighter.

So like, if you had 32 armor on the mech even, ferro would let you have 36, for the same weight... or if you had 32 armor of ferro, it would have cost .88 tons rather than 1 ton. But having literally 0 tons of armor means you will get nothing at all from having ferro, but lose the 14 slots of space since technically it's "mounted".

however ferro is always the lesser choice over endosteel if picking 1 over the other sadly :\

Every now and then, I make an obligatory post here.

In total, I've racked up some 816 kills in the boomcada. More or less. And I'm STILL above a 1.00 KDR.

Much faster and you don't have to worry about ammo explosions in a side torso, gauss ammo doesn't explode.

ROFL, now go change that to Double Heat Sinks and see if you can squeeze out another ton or two of ammo.

...I'm gonna have to try that one of these days just for laughs. :blink:
