A single ballistic slot.

In the head.

This is taking too long! I want to replace B*tchin Betty with Epic Erlam! Surely dual AMS, 5 laser points (1LA, 1LT, 1CT, 1RT, 1RA) and JJs. Maybe two AMS for the P2W-ness that I would accept from The Garthmobile!

Hey look at that! It happened! Garthmobile available in mechlab soon!

Previous comment redacted, lusts sated, can die happy. It has lasers in the arms as well, just like I wanted! *SQUEEEEE*

[Wip3ou7]

It's going to have 1 Laser in the Right Arm, 1 Laser in the Left Arm, 1 Laser and 1 Missile(2) in the Right Torso, 1 Laser and 1 Missile(2) in the left Torso... maybe jump jets. I doubt it's gonna be better than that. As a dedicated Cicada pilot, here's hoping it is...

[Pihb]

I would buy this

Aw crap.

Yep missiles are new. 100% betting no ECM on this baby... making the only Cicada capable of streak/ecm combo be pay only would make these forums explode.

Although JJs would be very, very cool. Something worthwhile but not OP on a mech. But then again, with no ECM, I'd probably never run it over the 3M

How about this,the cicada would have your face painted on the torso and lasers would come out of your eyes!

rofl! that would be sinister and funny as hell!

My bet is:

RA: 1 LAS
LA: 1 LAS
RT: 1 LAS, 1 MSL(2), 1 AMS
CT: None
LT: 1 LAS, 1 MSL (2)
JJ: 8
No ECM

rockets on a cicada Seriously well we didnt have this before true but i dont know should i buy it ? it doesn't sounds good we have already the jenner with this loadout and i dont know how is it be as a medium mech with smaller engine bigger firepower rockets take too many crit slot :/ so my LLs will b less effective i rather have small lasers instead

I will see how is it. but now im in doubt should i buy it? i really hate rockets and ballistic they not working proper with high ping

[Badgerpants]

I would just like to add that the X-5 is AWESOMENESS IN A CAN! I think it's the only mech I haven't modded in some way, It's basicaly perfect the way it is!

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

You seriously need to make it happen, if not with a Cicada then something else.

Glad you like it!

I still like my 2A better.

I bought the CDA-X5. I took the SRM2s off and upgraded to 4 Medium Pulse Lasers.

Thats just dumb,,

[F1yC4sual]

Maybe make it a "Champion" mech.
Capable of carrying a larger engine than the standard Cicada's. *****ïng "Garth" instead of "Betty. The usual bonuses. Don't forget to add ECM and Jump Jets to, and a Canadian themed paint scheme. And it would be an Urbanmech. Inside the cockpit it would have a "STIG" bobble head.

If you're really serious about this...

What about putting energy and MG hard points in a crazy circle around the cockpit?

Arrange the beam mounts on the chassis in such a way that it forms a ring, so from first person view when you fire it's a ring of laser energy coming out all around you.

Like maybe 7 points:

2 CT (top middle and bottom middle)
1 head (center)
2 LT (top left, bottom left)
2 RT (top right, bottom right)

Something cool like that? Would also mean 3 energy points in the chest / head, making it a theoretical beastly zombie build.

Another possibly for a hero Cicada, you could put SRM2 launchers in each arm.

Oh! I like that idea. A Cicada with 1 missile in each arm, and then 1 energy head, 2 energy CT.

I like what you've done there.
