I think, for their part, since this joke-post first rolled out, PGI has realized that this is a popular mech that people want in the game. This is in spite of it's obvious deficiencies.

And I've said this over and over, but I think the Urbie is more viable than people think, and no - I don't think it would need to move at 150kph to be effective.

I have to completely agree with you on this, especially with the new quirk system in place (that they've stated will continue to expand and be more complex). Also, think about all of the mechs out there that people said would be DOA because of hardpoint and mech layouts. The Shadowhawk in particular, comes to mind, and that's considered one of the strongest medium mechs in the game.

Will the Urbanmech become the most powerful light mech in the game? Probably not, but I'm sure it will still be one dangerous little demonic jumping trashcan with pretty hefty firepower for its weight class. I look forward to piloting it.

Extra jumping power. Quirks to the weapons would help, but since we are talking URBAN mech the power to 'leap tall buildings in a single bound' could be the Urbies signature move/style. Think about the buildings we currently have in River City, or Crimson Strait. Now think about two or three Urbies bounding over the tops of those buildings at you like the OWN the city....

For anyone potentially interested in these as an actual cockpit item, I made a suggestion thread here and will likely submit it in any future 'design an item' comps.

[Dawnstealer]

I'm thinking quirks that increase its structure (+15% or something all over), fast cooldown on AC10s and 20s, 360 torso twist, and its tiny size (it should be about the size of a commando, or smaller, without arms, will be enough. Maybe faster refresh on the jump jets? Would be unique.

I was personally thinking of improved JJ performance. something along the lines of +100% JJ time.

[TheSilken]

No increased time just 500% increase in thrust. Launch that f**ker.

[YaKillinMeSmalls]

Yeah, increased time would still leave you vulnerable to fire since you probably wouldn't put more than 2-3 jumpjets. Being able to get to your max altitude quicker on the other hand would let you escape more quickly.

I said I wouldn't put any more money into this game before CW arrived.



I just bought some MC just to get the urbie cockpit item.

Well.. damn...

I don't know what's happened there.
I've received no notification, it just appears to have been deleted.

When I last looked at it, there was certainly nothing that broke the ToS in there, it was literally a poll (about 12-15 yes, 2 no), the picture and maybe 7 posts that were mostly tame, with 2-3 asking what's the point, and one guy thinking they were 'explicit'.

[Alaskan Nobody]

The implication was pretty explicit.
No - I did not report them - but I am pretty darn sure I know why it got removed

[Ovion]

Not really.
The reference is there, but there's been worse and more in PG/12 rated movies, so it's not exactly inappropriate, just 'playground risqué' (and a little childish).
No matter, I'll just submit it next items comp

[Alaskan Nobody]

If referring to one's sexual organs (albeit indirectly) is considered playground level...

That sure explains a lot about most people's maturity issues.

Edit:
Regardless of it's supposed maturity level - sexuality is outright banned by the forum rules.
Hence your topic being taken down.
