================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Cicada has long been the proverbial "white elephant". With the advent of the XL engine
    however this design has finally been able to develope into a respectable scout.

Capabilities:
    Using the XL engine to free up some room, the CDA-3X has increased the firepower by
    replacing the small laser with an ER large laser. The twin mediums remained unchanged though
    the heatsinks were doubled to keep up with the increased heat output. The speed was also
    increased to a top speed of 149 kph and with the MASC in operation the top speed goes to an
    incredible 194 kph! The armor has been slightly increased by the addition of  ferro-fibrous
    though it is still thin.

Deployment:
    To date there are no units of this configuration in the field.
