PGI apparently disagrees. Otherwise the min tonnage for an FP deck would be 120t!

well they probably figured that they DID spend all that time putting together the other mechs so it'd be a shame if no one used them in FP.

edit- nm I thought you said MAX tonnage at 120.

There is a special urbanmech in the new solaris 7 pack. Check it out.

[Sigmar Sich]

Basically it's an UM-R60L with -1 energy hardpoint, and +2 JJ. meh..
I would prefer something more interesting, like full energy urbie, with PPC instead of AC. Or ECM. Or MASC.. Damn, not a single drop of creativity...

Urbie is a great mech. And a solid performer. It can even be sort of meta (k-9 with MPLs). And amazing fun (with RAC5). Or a decent light poptart (HPPC).
Give it another try, it is an amazing mech, who can play both fast and slow styles.

P.S. Commando is a great mech, and my favorite light (Steiner here ), but it is just a 'mech. Urbie is more.

Seconded on the RAC/5 Urbie. That's typically my default light.

But what about the 210 max engine size?

So it can do 113kph top, instead of 97. Still not a speed of light.
You can't boat energy, you can't boat MGs, so you have to go for something heavy. And this means no top engine. Hell, i doubt you can even squeeze in 4 JJs, forget 6. (not like urbie needs so much, it is a great poptart even with 3).
Besides, making "fast" urbies - that's heresy. Totally kills its vibe.

i'm unfortunately going to wait til these come out for MC or cbills- don't want 6 other mechs just to get a new urbie.

Urbanmech the only mech you truly need...

These wise words should be an official slogan of this game. Not that "battletech thing..."

Hi.

My name is Rip, and I suffer from a recently contracted case of Urbie-itis.

My very first official match in one ever went pretty well, and, apparently, I can't seem to figure out how to link images from my imgur account anymore. I have a screenie of the match that caused the inflammation...

copy direct link to an image by "ctrl+c", in reply form press button "Image" (bottom right under smiley face), paste image link with "ctrl+v".
link to image should be direct (http : //any_website.com/image_example.jpg), without any incorporated links to full size image or website.

P.S. Congratulations for discovering Urbie's divine benevolence.

It looks weird. It actually moves as fast as they do. Is it the One?

[loopala]

so i am looking at the solaris 7 urbie and i see max engine 210 hmmm when the can first came out i was running around with the biggest engine i could. lately i have been slowing the urbie down toward the speed the the can was intended to go. part of me wants to put a big engine in (with all the speed skills) and a big whale tail spoiler for cruising (painted red of course) around in the desert in the testing grounds, but i have locusts for that. i am torn between seeing what the thing can do and knowing the power of the AC20 demo can...

what to do? what to do?

going drop in my stock, skill less UM-63 and contemplate this

and HI Rip welcome to the trash can. it is a fun ride...

Edited by loopala, 20 February 2018 - 06:52 PM.

[loopala]

contemplating the urbie and i watch this again (can't watch too much ;-) and it hits me the assault to fill out the urbie deck. awesome pretty baby ....

let the salt flow...

Holy crap. Was trying to do that all day yesterday, using the exact process you mentioned (minus keyboard shortcuts, plus right click "copy/paste" commands) and kept getting a message saying the forum doesn't support that format anymore...lol

And thanks, it fits nicely with my "pre-existing condition" of "Locust-uenza"...

At least the treatment regimens are similar.

Turns out Bishop Steiner had it right all along...

[loopala]

out playing around with ac20, SL, lite 100 engine that i call the Demo Can






16 rounds of ammo and an Annihilator's best friend lol.

have some vids uploading as i type....

[loopala]

this a short one. phone rang while dropping. missed most of the game but showed up when it counted.

[loopala]

here you go the one that matches up with the screen shots. kind of boring at first while the Demo Can gets in position.
