btw the laughter is worth the watch

Well known to all who probably post in this thread, but always so enjoyable to watch.

Okay listen up Urby Fanatics out there and by the age of this thread I assume this is quite a lot of folks.
I just got off the phone with an aquaintance at Disney Interactive. Seems they launch the usual multi-genre, multi-media campaign for the upcoming Star Wars movies.
Among other venues it looks like PGI is on their list with the release of a Mech "in the likeness of R2-D2" including "a corresponding warhorn".
I can imagine no other mech but our most favorite little trashcan for this part. With the apropriate paintjob who can tell the difference between an Urby and R2 anyway?
For synergy reasons it also appears that the Trilogy will feature a Clanmech.
My bet in this case is on the Timberwulf.
But maybe they paint a DireWulf gray and sell it as the new Deathstar.
It's got the firepower allright ... :-P

You wounded me deeply.

No urbie today either?


Disappointment, I am the embodyment of it.

[Arete]

Might it be time for a covert Urbanmech day, where all of us that has been touched by the might of Urbie bring out our disguised urbanspiders and urbanstarters and wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting?

[jper4]

if/when the day ever comes i kinda wonder what i should do when my urbie faces another urbie. personally recognizing the destruction of the map were our 1 v1 combat to take place, i'd nod at it then go off to eliminate easier stuff like direwolves and atlases in the hopes that the unspoken agreement that we'd save each other for last be understood.

[Free Rasalhague]

i know wat tis is... A TROLL!

[Clownwarlord]

Wow this thread really needs to die, unless the Urbie is coming in this thread needs to go.

[KuroNyra]

Yes, this thread was released by PGI as an April's fools joke. However, they made a strategic mistake, thinking our love for the Urbie wouldn't keep it going for 5 more months longer than it should have ever lasted.

While the Raven can, it's generally prefered / the done thing to use a Spider (Usually 5K, and Anansi though there's a 5D equiv variant) for most and the Firestarter (9H / Ember) for the AC20 build.
This is because the Spider is the same weight class they match the rough 'shape' if the Urbie better.

Alternatively, yes, the Raven 4X is marginally better hard points wise, and the 3L makes a slightly better R80. Maybe I'll write up some Raven builds later.

But for you and those that missed it (due to almost immediate page rollover), here it is again:

From there, we can build equivalent in the game!
Using a Spider SDR-5K Base:
Using a STD100 Engine +Endosteel to account for the weight difference of the STD100 instead of STD60)
UM-R60: UM-R60
UM-R60C: UM-R60C
UM-R63C: UM-R63C

Using a Spider SDR-5D Base:
Using a STD100 Engine +Endosteel to account for the weight difference of the STD100 instead of STD60)
UM-R80: UM-R80 (Couldn't fit 4 Energy, so have an extra heat sink)

Firestarter FS9-H Base:
Using a STD100 Engine, extra weight used within the extra 5 Tons.
UM-R60L: UM-R60L


'Updated' Builds, using the upgrades and mods that would be available to the Urbie in MWO.
Only using the Hardpoints available shown in the Stock Loadouts section, or it's not really an Urbie anymore is it!
UM-R60-M: UM-R60-M
UM-R63-S: UM-R63-S
UM-R22: UM-R22
UM-R60L+: UM-R60L+
UM-R60L++: UM-R60L++

Additionally - I think a Hero Urbie should have 8 Ballistic Slots in the arms, with 2 torso energy.

Come with 8 Machine Guns, 6T of ammo, and 2 Medium Pulse Lasers.

That's kind of my dream build with the Urbie.
