Welp, I guess no Urbie IIc, but at least the new Urbie is *Clearly* the centerpiece of the S7 Mech Pack!

The only thing that allows PGI not to be pitchforked and torched is the Solaris Urbie variant.

However, you're still denying us Clanners and giving us that lame-o Hellfire instead.*

C'mon, PGI. The Clan Can is as easymode a win release as you'll get in Clan lights, garnering far more goodwill than that demonic PIR hellspaw- oh wait, that's an IS robot. Well, people won't call the Urbie IIC game breaking, as that will be the point in which we're all in Urbies and goodwill will spread like artillery strike spam.

Spoiler

* Not that lame, but it's on the same level of lame as all non-Urbies.

Are you guys seriously can go so low? Just another urbie, with useless engine and JJ cap, which it cant use outside of troll builds?
Sigh... You deserve this.

Don't get salty, our lord and savior Urbie (may his 360 degree gaze be upon you!) love us all...

...Especially those that dismiss the Urbie, for his greatest lesson is one of humility.

No heretics here. Ave Trashcanus Optimus Maximus,!
Though you guys, should demand something new, like full energy urb, or masc, or whatever. Solaris urbie is just a bait.

The fullness of Urbie will be given when we are worthy to receive it...


...that or PGI gets broke-n-desperate...

Seems like same day for both =)
But to be honest, Solaris pack is about lore mechs. They are extremely boring, but canon (i think).
As much as i LOVE urbies (just imagine Steiner nerd who have no mechs produced outside Steiner space, but who have 5 urbies), i'm not getting new hero. It's just bait and fake.
But for the poor sods who fell for it... at least make it rock RAC 'n' roll!

And brag yer scores!

[Hauptmann Keg Steiner]

They're at least based on lore; the 4 'Capellan Mafia' ones in the pack (plus Yen-Lo-Wang and Legend-Killer) all show up in the first of Stackpole's Warrior books. Didn't really pay attention to their loadouts on my last read though.

All Urbies deserve love and worship, lest they be turned into the Arrow IV variant in their bitterness and rain nuclear fire upon all.

Yes, there is a nuke-armed, canonical Urbanmech. It's famous for killing most of the Kell Hounds in a single shot.

Gotta love it doing it's happy stomp dance at the end after surviving to the finish.

The solaris urbie is nice. Basically a 60L with generic 10% range, cooldown and velocity quirks along with the normal heat dissipation and armor stuff. Running it with two lmg and four med lasers with a tc7. Yep with the quirks it has the mediums shooting out to er med range but with med laser dps and heat.

[Leviathan MDK]

So i have six months to save up on MC to buy the Urbie.
Lootbag events please.

[jper4]

yeah solaris urbie is nice so far. 4ER MLs and 2 HMGs for me and max engine. if it didn't already have a name i'd call it "turbo urbie" had a few decent matches with it. before I hit 1k dmg and went on to the next mech. nice poking range with the ERMLs

oddly I was doing better with the solaris firestarter- 4MPL and 4LMG, getting more kills with that one at least so far. more pinpoint dmg I suppose so that would explain it. but one of those wait, wand wait, and wait- ok people are brawling now I can do something mechs

I think "Turbie" might work for it

I like the NuTek MGs on my Urbies. -63 with 3xHMG and 3XMPL, -60 with 2xLL, 4xLMG.

I can't quit the laser vom on my 60L, tho. I know folks like 2xHMG with lasers on it, but I think mid-race laser poking is fun.

[Virlutris]

I have a cool question for urbie cultists .

My lil bro and I argue about what engine we should fit an urbie with . He favours the engine that only gives urbie a speed of 91 km because he says that frees up a whole 1 ton to play with.

I on the other hand say , if you gonna blow 5 000 000 cbills and upgrade an engine might as well go the full monty and at least give urbie a 99 km or more speed .

What speed do you guys think is most optimum ? Thanks .

[Leviathan MDK]

Depends on your playstyle. You can save a ton but need more space for a dhs (4 required outside of engine). Still for a 30t mech a ton is a lot.
For urbies survivability is more important than topspeed anyway. i would rather take lighter weapons and a light engine over a xl engine.
DPS is ussualy higher and you can survive more carnage... and you can still take pretty heavy weapons like a RAC2 or snubnose ppc's.
