Everyone knows the Cicada was done dirty in the Vanilla 'Mechlab. Sure it's lore accurate, but concessions must be made to gameplay! I apply a dash of "rule of cool" and drop some engine so that you can finally run a Cicada with full armor *and* weapons.
CDA-2A: 320STD --------> 295STD 5.5 tons lighter at full strip 129.6 kph ------> 119.5 kph Full strip = 28t
CDA-2B: 320STD --------> 295STD 5.5 tons lighter at full strip 129.6 kph ------> 119.5 kph Full strip = 28t
CDA-3C: 280STD --------> 245STD 3 tons lighter at full strip 113.4 kph ------> 103.3 kph Full strip = 23t
CDA-3M: 320XL --------> 295XL 3.5 tons lighter at full strip 129.6 kph ------> 119.5 kph Full strip = 19t
CDA-X5: 330XL --------> 320XL 1 tons lighter at full strip 133.7 kph ------> 129.6 kph Full strip = 20.5t
The Assassin has now been added to the project. As with the Cicada before it, engine size was dropped slightly to enable more creative builds, or simply to run the stock loadout with full armor.

Rear facing weapons. Some 'mechs have weapon hardpoints that shouldn't be facing forward. This mod removes the hardpoint and replaces the weapon tonnage with single heat sinks. The following 'mechs are effected: FS9-A, H, S, S1. FLE-15, 17. WLF-1. CN9-A, AL. DRG-1C, 1G, 1G-S, 1N. QKD-4G, 4H, 5A, 5K. CTF-1X. ZEU-5S, 5T, 6S, 6S, 9S. BLR-1G, 3M. AS7-D, K, P, KR. LGB-8C. ARC-2R, 2RB, 2S.
Non-Lore mechs: BMP_LORE removes Hero and non-lore 'mechs. Compatible with BMP_REAR, and NMT_TTDPS. Override NMT_TTDPS with BMP_REAR, and then BMP_LORE.
