    That's close to my fit:



    The difference with the Cicada ... Adder is a clan Light with a far higher Firepower and range mated to a Targeting Computer that I use for flyby attacks as my optimal is much better.. Cicada is a more mobile IS Medium that has to compete with the Shadowhawk and Griffin... not even including all those juicy new Hunchback 4G's. ;)

    Currently the Adder's competition is the... Kitfox. I've never lost an Adder vs Kitfox duel.

    Edit: Thats not quite my fit btw as I'm in work but its close.

    You can basically get a medium mech in a light spot, as opposed to a speedy ECM light in the medium spot. The latter is better in most team compositions I think, unless you want to play a game without any scouting? :p

    Thx guys for the tips. I decided to save the cbucks for the SC and MC aaand the WH. But will buy it when i have some spare cash on occasion. I always looked at the adder as a Direwolf in the Light Weight Class. :D

    Three points against that though.

    If you're a clanner in CW the Cicada isn't even an option.

    The second area the adder is unopposed in is the clan light competition tables..... That ice ferret and kitfox isn't going to be remotely competitive.

    The third problem is that as a medium it has to stand against griffins, shadow hawks, storm crows etc. Unless you're running some really weird setup with 3 lights and 3 cicada's on conquest those cicada's simply can't compete.

    Glad this site is here. I definitely need help with builds as I am only a good not exceptional pilot.

    Will use some of these Adder builds in CW to flesh out my 4 Omni team.
