Remember the urbanmech can only Carrie 1 ton of ammo. Not enough for CW or to grind for CB's.

Ha! Not for free. When it happens, and I'm almost positive it will... We'll end up having to pay, a lot.

I dont think it'll be a lot.

$20 if in a pack with bays, premium time, colours and cockpit items.

Around 3000mc or 5-6,000,000c-bills for the 3 standard variants (plus mech bays).

2250mc for a Hero variant.

I'll also note that the majority of the artwork is at FD's normal (ie amazing) pro quality, while the sack and the hat look more like his quick sketching style. Seems very much like an authentic concept for the Urbie that got a sketch over for the email.

Quoted for truth. Russ even tweeted that it was actual concept art.

The only other 'mech to have released concept art without a release for the 'mech itself is the Flea, and that's on hold until they fix MASC code.

Urbie doesn't have MASC.

No MASC. No problems.

If they would make the Urbie not avaiable for everyone i would instantly uninstall and tell everyone how they abused the Urbie.

This would be against the philosophy of UrbanMechs:

Urbie is for everyone!

Urbie is love!

Urbie is life!

You would pay for a mech that only carries 1 ton of ammo?

You mean the one with the Urbanmech crossing in the firing line of another mech, while another Centurion blocks the incoming fire? Yeah, that sounds about right...


Unless PGI seriously breaks their own engine rules, the Urbanmech will at most have an XL100 (with considerably less speed along with it).

The Panther got a 250 max. Urbie could get a 125 max.

It only has 1T ammo stock, that doesn't mean it can only carry 1T.

3 isn't hard to do.

Even if PGI gave it 125 max that is not enough to be effective in CW or even to grind for CBills. Also, the urbie can only carrie 1 ton to ammo....

Ok say its 3. This is not enough for CW or to grind for CBills...

If they allow defenders to reload at some point, it'll be fine.

If not, well, it's not like it's the only mech ill suited for CW.

I am a urbie fan. If PGI changes the layout/configuration of the urgie then its not truly the urgie we all love. Might as well create a new mech - but wait...we have the spider, firestarter, Locust, and other lights that PGI would have to turn the urgie into in-order for it to compete in CW...

Remember this ain't the TT and we can literraly change everything we want on the Urban mech.

Heck, we could create a Urbanmech with a PPC.

Urbie love has nothing to do with CW or grinding for Cbills...

It's about being the underdog and the butt of every joke and having a fun time bantering with other players. It's about playing the game how you want to play, and not what is currently top tier or meta. It's about taking down something three times your size and having all parties involved thinking it's absolutely funny.

Do you know there is a tool in the game called mechlab, don't you?

I agree, but at the end of the day you need money/cbills to buy things...the urbie is not equip to grind for cbills..

What does this have to do with carrying enough ammo to be effective/grind for cbills???

20 bucks would be quite a bit for such a limited 'mech.

But, I'd pay 20.

Do you not have any SOUL?!?!?

You play the Urbie for the sheer joy of piloting it!

The fun you'll have making fun of the pilots you've killed in your Urbie.

Also, think of all the cool Urbie centric challenges that PGI could whip up.

Challenge: Kill 4 or more Urbies in one match, win a chance in the grab bag.
Get 1 or more kills in an Urbie, win a chance in the grab bag...

Whatever...

Plus all the other play made competitions... An all Urbie 12v12 competition, in AP, or whatever, hilarious!

Last time I checked, Lasers Didn't need ammo.

Tell that story to my Locust 1E. Makes C-Bills just fine.

This is why PGI should not bring out the urbie. Yes, I play this game to have fun with friends, but I am a serious player and I (and a lot of other players) don't want this game to turn into a kiddy, kiddy game...

To my point. We have urban mechs already (locust, etc). PGI does not need to bring out a mech that is under powered. My locust will outperform the urbie...

So don't buy one and if you see one drop with or against you, feel free to disconnect.

I believe in more options the better, even when some options are BAD options it's better than NO options.

I don't know the urbie version of the spider isn't half bad... At least not in pug matches.
