A lot of people want it?
Then I say lets put our money where our mouth is, and actually buy and build them ourselves.
Anyone saying they want an Urbie - direct them here.
Everyone who has, or makes an Urbie - post here to show your support, even post good games you've have with it, etc.
IF you want it, make it, flood the servers with them!
Even the most expensive Urbanmech is less than 5mil C-Bills, so you can easily bash one out from scratch in a weekend.
I've put together a 'How to build an Urbanmech' guide below, so put one together and go nuts!
Quote
From the tabletop, we can see that a Stock Urbanmech would be the following in MWO:
UM-R60: 1E, 1Bm 0M, 2JJ
UM-R60C: 1E, 2B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R60L: 1E, 1B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R63: 2E, 1B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R68: N/A
UM-R69: N/A
UM-R70: N/A
UM-AIV: N/A
UM-R80: 4E, 0Bm 0M, 1ECM, 2JJ
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)
Spoiler
This gives us the following summary:UM-R60: 1E, 1Bm 0M, 2JJ
UM-R60C: 1E, 2B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R60L: 1E, 1B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R63: 2E, 1B, 0M, 2JJ
UM-R68: N/A
UM-R69: N/A
UM-R70: N/A
UM-AIV: N/A
UM-R80: 4E, 0Bm 0M, 1ECM, 2JJ

If you have any alternate builds, something you've tried differently in the Urbie framework, just post it and I'll add it to the list.
Lastly, my Urbie - UM-R63-S
