"Any other Quirks will be determined closer to the ship date, when we can test and tune them to make the UrbanMech a fun (and viable) experience. "

I predict various durability and agility quirks, since it will probably be, the slowest light mech.

Lord Urbie is neither too slow, or too fast. He arrives exactly when he is needed.

I presume you mean "pew pew BOOM". As the Lord doth have both the lasers to sear evil and treachery from those untouched by his glory, and the autocannon to rid the universe from those who resist his teachings.

You are a bit too good at that...

[stealthraccoon]

Hmm, where is the energy hardpoint for the UM-R63's pulse laser gonna be?

We talking like a hip-shot height, or arm height?

I saw that too! That's pretty cool if it is a nod to IH!

Quoting myself here. So dug up the post which gives this thought more credit:

Look at the post from Paul here. FD was loving it apparently as well.

Pretty cool that FD (if that's who did this mech) tipped his hat here to a community user!

I think they will make the max speed of the Urbie at least 81kph so that it's not a sitting target every match. Any slower than that and it will be rather difficult to enjoy.

Hey!
I've noticed how passionate everyone seems to be about the Urbanmech...

So I thought I'd share something with you!

Tina, if you have ever thought about running for office now would be the time. . . you have just garnered the favor of all the Urbie lovers world wide!

i've done fine with my std 100 engine 54kph spider urbie. just hide among the big mechs and you're fine. even managed to successfully hide behind dead mechs to protect me from enemy fire a few times if urbie is smaller than the spider then it's even easier to miss.

[Sylonce]

I am probably going to keep mine at a humble 32 kph personally. 81 kph is too fast =p

Because dead mechs aren't actually solid objects? You can hide IN dead mechs. I have done this in my locust.

Can confirm. Have hid Locusts and Commandos inside dead 'mechs.

Truth

[Alaskan Nobody]

Because my very active imagination is making this (as slight as it is) somewhat less than safe for work

Spoiler

Climbing inside the dead mech and eating the pilots is what those little mechs do best!

Unfortunately they need a nap to properly digest them

[kosmos1214]

well ill prebly go a super stock with a std 100 on my urbies they wont need to be super fast if im runing with the krabs attlai and dires

[Groutknoll]

I plan on JJ to the top of a crab and ride my trusty steed to battle! Of course the crab will be faster then my urbie hehe.

Think the evil red team will ignore me?

"Super stock" would be a STD 60, not STD 100.

I thought "super stock" was like stock +1, like when my stock COM-1D gets an LRM 5 and STD 170

[Drake67]

how about make the urbie an omni mech with just replaceable arms?
