Let's suspend reality here and say that on Tuesday's patch, the Urbanmech was actually put into MWO as a trial mech. You could not change the weapons loadout, engine, etc.

What would it take for you to pilot one? 100% C-Bill bonus? Free Paint? Piloting one gets you a free Mechbay?

For the uninitiated, the stock variant of the Urbanmech is a 30 ton mech that travels @ 32.4kph, armed only with a Small Laser and an AC10.

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

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

[Gremlich Johns]

If it is a trial mech, that means no cost for use. They put one in, I'll try it out.

[Varnas]

I'd do it for a klondike bar.

I only pray PGI never puts the urban mech in the game it was the worst mech ever.Only time it shined was when you put jump jets on it and a arty and then it still sucked and is possibly the ugliest mech in BT or MechWarrior. Reminds me of R2D2 from star wars.

Above poster deserves a slap.

5% GXP boost? I mean grinding the first teir of unlocks takes no time at all and you eventually hit the point where you're just making bank as your builds are all solid... but GXP is always a pain to accumulate without spanking gold out (as is by design).

So a 2.5% - 5% GXP boost and nothing else would make it quite a tempting little Mech for those looking to unlock the pilot tree on the cheap.

Make it an Urbanmech_IIC...

This is the Raven-4X I keep in my garage whenever I get the itch to pilot an Urbie.

The only problem is that it goes too fast, so I have to remember to only stick to 60% throttle

[Eddrick]

I would give it a try just because. It to light for my taste beyond that. I prefer Heavy BattleMechs.

[Team Leader]

What would it take? Just the keys.

A large amount of alcohol.

[Bishop Steiner]

What would it take.....

them adding the UrbanMech as a trial mech.


...... OK.. I might hold out until they gave me Deputy Dawg as a hero version......

[Antagonist]

A deathwish.

Oh. I seem to be fresh out.

Lets face it, if BT universe was real life, you'd take any mech you could get.

An Urbie would life changing for a lowbie warrior in 3050 or w/e...

[Rippthrough]

I'd take it.
Hell, even if I had to pay 40,000C-bills per match to rent it, I'd take it.

Just for the one time when someone actually dies to it and you laugh your socks clean off.

[Cache]

What would it take? It would take PGI putting it into the game. Period.

Put jump jets on it? It comes stock with jump jets.

[Alistair Winter]

This.

[Utilyan]

If cop-urbie showed up........mechwarrior online would explode.

People would actually be devastated and in tears.

Siren sounds when it kills? "bad boys.... bad boys....."?


The game would come ALIVE if devs did something like that.

IT would be SO battletech, SO mechwarrior.....


So many squads........ I can see them now...... COMSTAR-COPS

Well once upon a time back when MechWarrior was MechWarrior we could build and save configurations in Mechlab so we made many load outs. The OP urban was Jump Jets and a few arty beacons you would run in jump jet above the group brawling and drop arties on there heads of course it was a suicide move and you killed as many of your own players as the enemy but it was fun.
