Talk:Cicada

Non-Axon vehicle?

If you looked at the texture of the Cicada in UT2004, you could see the Liandri icon (and signs "Series 17", "Version 17" and "LI-17"). So maybe Cicada isn't an Axon vehicle at all? --GreatEmerald 09:15, 26 February 2009 (EST)

If you'Er that picky: The Paladin and SPMA (and even the SPMA camera) also have the Liandri logo and an LI-number label. In fact, the term "Axon vehicles" was coined for UT3. In UT2004 it was never stated who actually manufactures them. —Wormbo 03:58, 27 February 2009 (EST)

Aha! Then we could split vehicles to Liandri and Axon that would indicate BP and pre-BP vehicles. The vendor change, however, is quite odd... --GreatEmerald 07:50, 27 February 2009 (EST)

It's probably more likely that Liandri manufactured them for Axon --Sir Brizz 11:12, 28 February 2009 (EST)

Good idea, but probably it's the opposite. Axon created the idea and the plans, and Liandri built them, as Axon is only a research corporation, not a military one. --GreatEmerald 15:32, 28 February 2009 (EST)
