All it would take is it being there for me to try it out.

I have a soft spot in my center torso for the urbie, so I'd probably give it a try. I don't know how many times I'd tool around in the trial version, but I'd definitely buy one to try out a low speed high firepower light. (also urbies are so damned cheap it wouldn't set me back much to screw with a few of them)

While I don't think it'd ever be really viable, if PGI just makes sure they give the urbie crazy good twist capabilities (full 360 perhaps?) and have it twist at a high speed despite it's tiny engine, it still might be fun to play. (also, it'd need a ridiculously tiny head hitbox, or people would just headcap it everytime)

A Shadow Hawk.

Bonus points though if they get a day-long stream of nothing but 12 v 12 Urban Mechs on Alpine.

Never happen. The entire lot of you can't muster enough imagination, combined, to come up with a bribe that would get me into one of those wastes of resources that could be used to build a real Mech.

I'd sooner eat a plate of steaming dog [REDACTED].

It's mere existence and the lulz. Would totally take an 8 trial Urbanmech premade team just to troll people.

what would it take me to pilot urbie?

NOTHING! it would be fun.

I just stick by the assault boats and watch the enemy panic fire into that "op boat" whilst I lend my support fire without a scratch cause nobody's afraid of urban mech. many raven-urbanmech pilot wannabes have done it succesfully.

believe urbanmech's a joke, fools that you are.

12,000 MC would be a good start...

Less then that...nothing as i value my time.


Exactly this.

Well, maybe not exactly. 10,000 seems like a good start for me.

Outside of that? Heck no. I get antsy when I mess around in anythin slower than my Cicadas. I dont want to imagine how incredibly angry I'd get at the ridiculous waddle speed of the urbie.

For reference, the average biking speed of a person is as fast as the Urbanmechs maximum speed. Average bike speed = Max Urbie speed.

Heck, olympic sprinters actually run faster than an Urbie could run. How pathetic is that?

it just being there I would pilot it. I drive a Spider with a Std-100 Rated Engine with a AC-10 and Small Pulse Laser :( The UrbanSpider Standing in for the UrbanMech until they get here. Takes them a Long time to get here due to the fact there SO slow :( But they will have the Fastest Engine to Torso Twist Speed of any mech :P

Just give me a free urbie to replace the coconut monkey bobblehead and I'm all in.

A free substitute smoking "urbie" will be fine as well.
