Is there a good guide to small engine use as far as heat sink efficiency goes?

I notice in the Urbie that it almost seems possible to add engine size without gaining weight because of built-in heat sinks.

The main point is multiples of 25. Every 25 sizes, the engine will gain an internal heatsink.

Another point to keep in mind, which I highlight in My Mech Building Guide is that during the sizes in between the multiples of 25, is it worth it to get an extra heatsink, or an extra couple of Kph? Answering that question can help you make your mind up.

Anyone use the urban Mech during the current challenge? I have seen a couple on the battlefield, and was just wondering if any of us have given it a try for the lights.

Until..? Is it even possible to NOT get one in the almighty urban?

I myself got all my light KMDD with Urbies or Jenner iic, about 50/50, and usually took only 1 or 2 matches.

I am not a programmer, but the urbie iic should not be that hard to make because they just have to tweak the is model, like for the jenner iic.

Like the Jenner IIC, it would be a completely new 3d model, with completely new 2d assets.
I guess they could use the same animations, but everything else would take the same amount of work of a whole new different chassis.

Who needs movement speed. anything above the holy 32.4 kph only makes you dizzy and your aim will suffer. relax while the Atlas is swooshing by and that dire zipps past. take careful aim and bam - they are yours.

interesting variation of stock: UM-R63 with gauss. they never see it coming.

I bought a STD120 engine just so I could get a feel of the stock Deputy Dawg build - I just replaced SRM2 with MG's. Gotta say - it just feels right!


Edit: wait, UM-DD has LL, MG, SRM2? Yeah I was thinking LL, SLas, SRM2. I need to write this down...

Pretty sure the Arctic Cheetah fills that role. However, no cheetah can match the awesomeness of the Urbie.
