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.

hey for a good suto urbie a raven x4 works well and you can make any urbie variant you want

im runing the one the draconis combine made that has no sheet where they removed the useless 11th heatsink and added a mgun with a 1/2 ton of ammo

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.

10-20 MGs

It should exist some kind of poll to know how many people want the Urbie.
Somebody know how to do it?

there's been polls since closed beta i think about wanting the urbie in and was overwhelmingly in favor of it. so far we just have a bobblehead.

[kosmos1214]

well a boble is a start and you are right the anansi is closer then my raven but its a hero witch does hurt it
(if you are like me and are broke all the time) so i will say the raven x4 works well if you dont want to spend the money

and on a side note the spider just double in weight to me i thought they where 15 tons lol
and yes im newish to battletech
