==Overview:==
In May 3067 the graduating classes of the Luthien Acadamy Of Military Design
got a challenging task to accomplish.
They had to design a BattleMech with the latest CAD-technology and under
following terms:

1. Take a classic BattleMech design used in the 3rd Succession War.

2. Construct an OmniMech chassis upon this basis.

3. Suggest weapon configurations for that chassis; at least four but not more
than seven.
3. a) The primary configuration has to be based upon the original weapon
layout of the classic design.
3. b) If possible include following configuration types: city-fighter,
LRM-support, fire-support/sniper.

All OmniMechs were graded by a committee and  loaded into a battlefield
simulation program.

The CDA-O was presented by Student Herbert Burricki.


==Capabilities:==
Herbert Burricki decided to go with speed instead of slowing the Cicada down
like many designers tried to.
A 360 rated XL engine delivers the power to propell the CDA-O up to 150 kph.
The XL and advanced construction materials nevertheless freed up enough
tonnage to give its armor a boost of more than 80% and a pod space of 8 tons!

The prime configuration is a recon and electronic support mech. Advanced
sensors, ECM and a C3-slave make it valuable in that kind of missions and
three TC-linked lasers provide some defensive firepower.
The A is a sniper configuration in the tradition of PPC-wielding Cicadas
throughout the centuries.
Configuration B carries two light LRM launchers into battle and has a
defensive weaponry similar to the original Cicada.
The C configuration is a backbiter/striker equipped with tremendous jump
capacity but only carries two medium pulse lasers.
The D is a special operations command mech with a massive C3-master computer.
The mech is only rudimentary armed.

==Battle History:==
The trials in the academys battlefield simulation program generated very
different results.

While the primary and the A configuration fared very well in their type of
mission the B and D utterly failed! The long-range support config simply had
too little firepower to have much impact on the battlefield. The D on the
other side was too dependent on its lance-mates for protection due to its
limited weaponry.
The C had weak weapons too but got high scores because it was able to hit even
when jumping around wildly.

==Variants:==
Student Herbert Burricki was playing with the idea of modifying the A
configuration by dropping the small lasers for a C3-slave.
He thought that a lance of a D and three A would make up a great hunting team.

Wonderful. This really surpased my expectations! I would probably try to experiment with TW stuff (heavy FF)

For D configuration I would try light PPC to extend the reach...

Kurita redesigning the Cicada? That is new.

The C3 master is OK I think. Yes no real firepower or armor, but it can run from almost anything. Name me a C3 master that moves even 7/11?

Base model is a great use of XL engine and electronics. It has the mass to take a few hits. And when it finds it target it puts the shots on target.

AWAD- In 3025 if it moved 7/11 then it was a danger with more armor and weapons

The background of my Academy Project can be read in "Overview" of the fluff.
This project consists of all mechs in the original TRO 3025 and i posted five so far. The project isn't meant to put 55 new omnis into production but is about an examination of the graduating class of said academy.
Maybe House Kurita chooses the omni deemed best for production, maybe not. Wink
