    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.

    Well the 3D has jumpjets too, which makes builds like 3xLL / 1xGauss superior on the 3D.

    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.
