am I going nuts or did I see a jump jet Cicada?

[FupDup]

You ARE going nuts, and the Loyalty variant can in fact equip JJs.

The Cicada 3F, which was a loyalty variant, can mount up to 8 JJs. Was running one just a few minutes ago, and dying horribly because I'm too used to having an ECM.

[Otto Cannon]

You saw one of these.





They can jump quite high with 8 jets- external view of that jump:

It can put on more than 6 jump jets so I think it can fly

[Tarogato]

kawaaaiiiiii~~~<3

[Davegt27]

Yeah one of those

Remember when CW started we thought Cicada would be a good idea but it did not have jump jets

Now I see these fast sob's flying around, I try to get them on video but my AMD video capture works like 60% of the time

I go to the store and not one of those Cicada’s have jump jets

What’s the back story?
Loyalty with special loadout?

[Dawnstealer]

It's a little crazy with 8 JJs.

CDA-3F(L)

[El Bandito]

And probably the worst variant, with only 4 energy slots and meh quirks.

[Davegt27]

And no 12 man flying cicada rush 228 must be losing its touch

How do I get one?
Picked up a free Cicada in Dec and if I could get a flying Cicada
I would get two more and get them mastered up

Are the two things mutually exclusive?

[Davegt27]

started watching this lol

[Chuck Jager]

On this account I only have 1 Cicada and it is the JJ one.

2ppc 295xl 3jj and 2 HS plus PPC modules

It is fun in solo Q. You could probably wreck face with it in lower tiers, but I do not know when/if it may be available like the Atlas (S) or Cent (H)

Well, it IS the CDA-3F(L)ight Capable. Basically, it's a Super Spider.

There is a bit of irony here since it does jump slightly better than the SDR-5V can.

Currently I don't think there is any way to buy one but they should be released for sale sometime in the near future.

[PocketYoda]

Wow loyalty Cicada ... really... some appreciation..

[MeiSooHaityu]

Now that my eyes have been opened to the Cicada's awesomeness...I kind of wish I had that variant

[Macster16]

When it came out, it was probably the best CDA.

Then they ripped its quirks to shreds for some reason and now it's pretty blah.

But hey....8 JJs....

[MeiSooHaityu]

Well, if I can ever get get the mech, I'm painting it red and flying through the air as the theme to The Greatest American Hero plays in my head.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air...
