Please do let me know if I missed out something.
The quirks clearly favor the 1X unless you really want extra Ballistic range or MASC. IMO that's not nearly enough to overcome the much superior Energy quirks when there's only 1 B mount. To me, it's no contest.
This is a comparison of 1X to 3L. The 3D is obviously different in that it has 4 energy, 2 ballistic (instead of 5 and 1) and has jump jets.
xD Haha, my bad! I was a bit distracted this morning.... anyway, I agree that the 1X just plain outclasses the 3L barring niche builds with MASC.
