Even though I am putting this in New Player Help I dont need help for this mech.
But I do want to share this fun configuration I have made with my first ever Urban Mech aka Trashcan.
Mech: Urbanmech UM-R60
I am not going to utilize smurfy for this because this is afterall a light mech. You really dont have THAT many options to outfit it.
Anyway, here is what I did. But be warned... This configuration (or build... but I dislike that term...) COULD be alot of fun allthough it doesnt do alot of damage. I just think its fun to play and pew pewing other players with this thing.
Configuration:
First off: I removed everything. So, here it goes:
* XL145 (speed is 78-ish)
* 1 ac2, 4 tons ammo (300 shots)
* 2 medium lasers
* Ferro fibrous armor (armour?) and endo steel structure.
* 3 jumpjets
* filled the rest with single heatsinks. And yes, I dont use double heatsinks. partly because the heat disipation isnt that much better then std heatsinks, partly because of the endosteel and ferro fibrous you just dont have the spare room.
This mech has the incredible alpha strike of this magnitude: 12! You can take down an atlas in a day or so...
its just so much fun to just hold the ac2 firebutton down and keep pewpewing. You can see the enemy players backing away by the constant stream of ac2 rounds, but it does jack **** in the damage department.
Even so, with this config I have already made some kills. Its not impossible; but as with most other light mechs you dont go after the healthy mechs, but you go after the wounded ones... Sadly enough I am not a great light mech pilot (yet) and I have died horribly a number of times.
But anyway; I just wanted to share this with you all if you just wanna have fun with your urban mech.
I have already bought the other two Urbanmechs aswell... I am planning on mastering these fun little buggers...
Also be warned: dont try this if you are short on C-Bills. Its cheap to buy (1.5 million-ish) BUT I have payed 2.5-ish million C-Bills to outfit it this way PLUS I had put in a lower rated engine at first. So I also had to buy that XL145 after I bought an XL120... But hey I had over 20 million C-Bills...Those lower rated XL engines arent that cheap though... (around 2.1-2.3 million C-Bills). And if you dont do this, then youre piloting a mech thats gets nowhere...uhm...slow?
Anyway, I certainly hope you urbanmech fans will try this out. I didnt want to go with the stock AC10 that the R60 normally has. I would be able to actually kill stuff rather then being an annoying pest on the battlefield.
Its just I love the ac2 fast rate of fire even if it does jack squat damage wise.
Good luck and have fun! o7
PS: if you have any comments on this, feel free to discuss. I wont mind. And I know this configuration isnt the best. Its just and I will repeat myself; fun!
PSS: @mods I dont know if this is the right place to post this. If it isnt I would like to apologize and I would agree if this would be moved somewhere more apropriate...
