Wait 360 degree target retention and 360 degree torso twist?

Who wants to bet that PGI makes more off this that the Resistance pack?

With a 360 degree torso twist twerk, there is no safe side of an Urbanmech to be on!

That is beautiful. Thank you Heffay

I know everyone is very excited about this mech but wouldn't a kitfox with ecm, ac10, small laser that goes 114kph be a better choice for actually playing the game? Just sayin


Is the Kitfox an Urbanmech? Nope. Also, is the kitfox available for the IS? Nope. Does the Kitfox have 360 degree torso twist? Nope. Does the Kitfox have single shot ACs for that PP FLD goodness? Nope.

360 rotating, so what???No speed, no armor, no weapons??What a point of this mech.Maybe for selfpunishing??Or maybe for target practice for new players?


We do have a mechbay, you know that right? This thing can slap on the biggest guns in the game, and still run in the 100+ speed range with a decent enough XL.

Also - the Hero is the 63! :D
Good times.


That's the pacakge mech. It has hero bonuses, but you'll find it in the Champion section in the mechlab, since it has no unique hardpoints. Just unique geometry (like the (F), (P), (I), and (L) variants)

Practice!

They say 3 Variants for the Standard, but in my profile preoders it tells me only 2 Mechs :(

how am I supposed to master it then? :(


2 regular ones, and one variant with UNIQUE GEOMETRY.

Smart move. If she was sleeping from tiredness, why would you ever want to wake her up? Right?




Also, This thread, and two other Urbie threads, are responsible for roughly 460 out of the 475 updates I woke up to today.

PREORDERED that $#!% the moment I saw the update lol! Worth every cent.

Also: +12 new clan chassis are on my to-buy list. First up is the TBR-D, this guy belongs in every clanner's arsenal hands down.

Now nobody can argue that PGI is doing anything wrong. They rock. Case closed. Period.

Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard... :D

Walker, it's Ovion...

I know that, I even wrote a guide on it... but it's easier to write 'Hero', it's basically what it is.

Though I'd honestly like them to have their own tab, like Geometry (Marked with a G in the mechlist), or Unique (U), like Hero's get their H.

Sooooo. Do we know what the max engine will be? I don't see it listed on the urbanmech page but I remember Russ saying it might go as fast as a spider.

He actually said that would not be the best thing to do.

Max engine speed is definitely very important. While I do not want it going 32kph, I also think it going 100+kph is a bit dumb. Either way, it will die just like any other light, so I am glad you guys are finally getting it!

If it could go Kitfox speeds it would be enough :) .

My admiration and congratulations go out to this community for their undying devotion to the cause of the Urbanmech. It is heartwarming to see PGI for once being responsive to its customers and delivering to them something it so greatly desired. It also allows me to finally feel a little more confident about the business future of this game to know that by delivering the Urbanmech, PGI is making a good business decision.

Applause to all around.

Now that the Urbanmech is finally coming, I say to PGI with tremendous enthusiam: shut up and take my money!

So apparently they WILL let you upgrade your package later from the $20 to the $40, FYI.

They haven't decided yet.
