We have been running urbies on the 5K actually, and that one doesn't use MC.

thats off topic we are after the god of mechs the urbie

[Cementi]

I am still baffled by the fact that the Urbie has not been added yet. Regardless of which side of the fence you are on for this one the simple fact is it would make them money. So with the current list of engines you cannot get it down to quite the engine size that the stock one has..... with some slight tweaks put it out with a 100 and no one will be that upset and they will pay mc for this mech. Would be better to put the smaller engines in but maybe that is more coding effort than its worth.

Make the hero mech the mad hatter and give it a goofy paint job or something for fun. This is free money and I really do not get why they have not put it out.

Hi PG,
this is my first post since more than a year playing MW. But i want to support the folks in front of my post: please give us the Urbie! He es not the best, but clearly the coolest Mech ever! Everyone can play in an killer Mech like Dire Wolf or Timber, but it needs realy skill to get an kill in an Urbie! I would give money for this beloved little AK10 Light. So, give yourself an push and bring him!

May the might of Urbanmechs autocannon protect you, and the small laser warm your soul.

[Dolgfer Roshak]

Hey everyone,

Ths is my Special "Clan" Version of our beloved Urbie Curby:
AC/10 - done (clan style)
Small Laser - done (clan style)
3T ammunition - done
No ECM - done
Special Camo (according to the announcement) - done

Yes, I know this loadout is to fast - Therefore, PGI please release the Urbie!!!

see PGI? the power of the Urbie is such that it even draws in those who have never posted before to post.

i've actually thought about buying a raven to make it an urbie but then realized i don;t feel like paying MC for the hugginn and i don;t own a single ecm mech so can;t break that rule. ditto with the spider and anasi. i suppose i can just buy the 4x and never elite it just for giggles. but it's obviously not the same as the real thing would be

ok.........then give me a dozen ballistic hardpoints on the urban

[General Pete]

The Urbie doesn't need a dozen ballistic hardpoints! Even the one is superfluous! That small laser, baby! That's all you need!

[Arcainite]

I'm sure you have, but if you haven't seen it yet:

Since this was announced as an April Fools joke does anyone else feel they will release it unexpectedly April 1, 2015?

I've said so several times. Last april 1, we got a "hero" raven. Then, in april 2014, we got the Huggin.

So clearly, Urbie in 2015. (That should give it enough time to finish walking to the field anyway).

It's pretty easy to make an Urbie tbh.

If you want to build your own, refer to this handy-dandy how-to guide!

From there, we can build equivalent in the game!
Using a Spider SDR-5K / SDR-Anansi Base:
_{Using a STD100 Engine +Endosteel to account for the weight difference of the STD100 instead of STD60}
UM-R60: UM-R60 / UM-R60
UM-R60C: UM-R60C / UM-R60C
UM-R63: N/A / UM-R63
UM-R63C: UM-R63C / UM-R63C

Firestarter FS9-H / Ember Base:
_{Using a STD100 Engine, extra weight accounted for within the extra 5 Tons.}
UM-R60L: UM-R60L / UM-R60L

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)


'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 ('Modern' - AC10 +3T ammo, ML)
UM-R63-S: UM-R63-S ('Superior' - LBX10 +4T ammo, ML)
UM-R22: UM-R22 (2AC2 +3T ammo, ML)
UM-R60L+: UM-R60L+ (AC20 +3T ammo, 2ML)
UM-R60L++: UM-R60L++ (AC20 +4T ammo, 2ML)

The absolute most expensive one is 4.9million C-Bills, the bcehapest being 3.9mil. (Or if you go Anansi, 1.2 to 1.6 mil, +2250MC),

Personally, I'm just waiting for the Anansi to be half price then I'll be grabbing it.
Till then, just my 5K:

So, anyone dressing up as the almighty Urbanmech for halloween? I'm not a costume person myself, but please share if you do :-)

[3xnihilo]

I am planning on it. I might even record it but you will have to promise not to make fun of me I am a mediocre pilot at best.

No one would mock you for dressing up as our mechanical savior.

Sadly, I have to be in costume as Leon the Professional (my gf will be Mathilda) No Urbie for me this halloween.

[3xnihilo]

So stupid moment... I was referring to my plan to dress my Urbie up as a spider and drop into some matches on Halloween. But if I had thought of t sooner I would have put my 10year old in an Urbie costume he is a mechwarrior and would understand haha. I guess he will probably want to stick win Steve from mine craft though

[3xnihilo]

Just took Urbie out trick-or-treating. Really scared an ember but got most of my armor stripped off by a pesky raven. 95 damage - 3 kill assists and all the wonderful feelings that come from driving an Urbie!

Too bad I have to go to work. I think with a couple more rounds I would start to get the hang of ssllllooooowwww:)
