6 Energy hardpoints, one in each location: 1RA, 1RT, 1CT, 1LT, 1LA, 1H.
Double heat sinks and endo stock.
2 AMS hardpoints with 1 ton ammo.
XL 300 stock and max armor.

Alternatively:

CDA-EB

Endosteel stock
XL350
8 JJ
2 energy hardpoints, one in each arm.
1 missile hardpoint in the left torso.
1 ballistic hardpoint in the right torso.
1 flux capacitor in the head.
Hero skin is a stainless steel finish.

The CDA-EB "Emmit Brown" is an oddity to be sure. It's hardpoint layout has been described as "unusual". But the driver of this mech swore that he put the JJ in because where he was going he didn't need roads, and when the XL350 hits 141.7 Kph you'll see some serious sh**.

I will make this happen. It must happen. But how can I make an all energy Cicada, when we already have two... hmm... ideas?

more critical slot... i know its already overpowered the 2A not as a light but as a fast medium its hard to do less than 350 dmg/game luckily no one using it. with more crit slot i could put in some more DHS
in lore cicada F is the strongest its with jump jets

so more Crit slot and JJ with an XL245 it can B an absolute BEAST...


and ppl may start useing the cicada as intended running no more than 125

INSANE fire power HORRIBLE HORRIBLE heat issues

• CDA-3F - The -3F Cicada is one of the most advanced versions of this 'Mech and was designed following the Clan Invasion. The chassis has been constructed using Endo Steel construction techniques and the 'Mech is protected with six and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. The -3F is powered by an extralight engine, can jump up to two hundred and forty meters, and carries a weapons loadout that appears to be a cross between the -2A and -3C models. The primary weapon is an ER PPC, which is backed up by two Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,202, BV (2.0) = 1,329 ^[2]

Notice 3 hardpoints. All other models have 5 or 6. So add 2-3 more made up to your liking and whalla the CDA-Garth.


I would also buy it regardless if it hard the Waynes World Gremlin paint job or not.

• CDA-3G - Based off of the same chassis as the 3F, the 3G trades in the PPC for an ER Large Laser, a Beagle Active Probe, and additional armor. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,270 ^[2]

Make all the energy hardpoints rear-mounted.

Go ahead, 3Ls. Chase me. See what happens.

[LT Kinslayer]

Just make the 2A the new Hero mech add some perks and name it something fancy.
Remove the actual 2A and say it was a test platform for the Hero version.
Add another non missile Cicada as a new variant, or add no extra variant because there are still 3 left.

result:
-I get to play my favorite Cicada as a hero version
-PGI hardly has to do any coding

Win, Win!!

Why do I feel guilty for writing this?

[Wolf Clearwater]

Give it 4 energy hardpoints and 6 ballistic hardpoints. All small lasers and machine guns! 2 ballistic in each of the 3 torsos, two energy in each arm. No other mech has ballistic in CT (I think).

[Aaren Kai]

When I started reading this... All I could think of is the Garth mobile from Wayne's world. I think this should be the colors. Party on Garth!

Give it two energy hard points, a max engine of 275 and 20 jumpjets IMO

[Ohsh]

2 ballstic on each arm, 1 on lt, 1 on ct, 1 on rt.

Oh hell yes. That would be PERFECT for the hero-Cicada, baby-blue with flames

If we have Garth doing Betty's job then he has to record it in his best girly voice...

[Mike Forst]

Actually wait put 5 missile hard points on it but each location only has a single tube

[Shumabot]

Four Narc tubes for ultimate ECM isn't a problem and a ballistic point for "shoot the ears". He'd be able to kill anything in seconds.

[Shibas]

ballistic hardpoint in the head, [narc] missile hardpoint in left leg and right leg, 16 jump jets and an engine rating of 350.

Edited by Shibas, 26 February 2013 - 04:24 PM.

[Q res]

2 energy in each arm, 1 ballistic in each side torso, 1 energy and a NARC tube in the CT.

Conversely, 1 Energy each in every location. CT, LT, RT, RA, LA, HD.

Ditch the varient that exists and replace it with the hero. Call the old one a 'placeholder'.

Did it for my lovely Yen-lo, why not for a Garthmobile?

[FupDup]

Left arm: 6 ballistic
Right arm: 6 ballistic
Left torso: 6 ballistic
Right torso: 6 ballistic
Center torso: 2 ballistic
Head: 1 ballistic


Hilarity ensues.

If it's gonna be the Garthmobile from Wayne's World, then it should just play Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in it's entirety starting at the beginning of the match.
