Have been using the follow cicada 3m build for sometime now and i love it. max speed at around 110 with speed tweak, running 3 MLAS and 1 AC10 with 3 tons of ammo. Not forgetting ECM too, which allows me to hide from far and snipe with the AC10. if you do need to get up close, 3 MLAS and the AC10 does pack quite abit of punch.

Should the pesky lights go after you, at 111 speed, you do not necessary get outrun by the lights.

Happy to get some thoughts on the build.


Cheers,

Seems pretty spolid, but a bit slow. But not that big deal if you dont stay in the middle and adjust your playstyle.

But i would go for an XL 300 with 4ml and an AC5. With the latest patch it does decent damage.

well it hits hard, but its too slow, you'll get eaten alive, 111kph will always have you outrun by lights and some mediums in Light hunting builds. the 3M has 2 roles, scouting and ECM cover, speed is crucial to both, if you're moving less than 120KPH you're cannon fodder in a Cicada.and ECM will not help you.

if you really want to use the Ballistic hardpoint, you're better off using the UAC5 it comes with or an AC5 and using either the stock XL320 or an even bigger engine. alternately with the same XL255, you can fit a gauss and a couple tons of ammo and still have nearly max armor, though you do sacrifice all the other weapons.

255 is too squishy in a CDA for me. Here's my favorite AC loadouts:

CDA-3M [UAC5, MLas x4, ECM, XL280, Endo, FF, DHS x11]

CDA-3M [AC2, MLas x4, ECM, XL280, Endo, FF, DHS x12]

While I have fun with the AC loadouts, I do consistently better with fast/heat efficient vanilla...

CDA-3M [MLas x4, ECM, XL320, Endo, DHS x16]
