WHEN the urbanmech comes out, I will make this quote my signature for a MONTH.

Who else is with me?

It should be noted that now that CW is upon us, where the design will clearly shine, it will be necessary to release both the Urbanmech and the Urbanmech IIC for balance reasons.

There's always a place in a tonnage limited environment for mechs that do a particular job at a lower tonnage. An urbie would make a decently weight efficient sniper even though it's less effective at it than heavier mechs, so if you're going for a stacked assault deck and don't feel like being a squirrel the urbie just might be the mech for you.

well, we have an imp, we have an urbie, can we make a "trashcan pack" is there any medium and heavy with a similar trashcan shape?

Flasman is 75t IIRC.

I'm not sure about a medium, though.

There's also the 100 ton Imp for the assault class.

The post I quoted already mentioned the Imp, hence why I only suggested the Flashman.

Going off mechs built before 3050. http://www.sarna.net...ton_BattleMechs

Here is the list of the 30-tonners left for IS:

Urbanmech
Falcon (built on 3050 not before)
Hermes
Hussar
Javelin
Valkyrie



Here is the list of the 30-tonners left for Clans:
Urbanmech IIC
Arctic Cheetah (Hankyu)
Incubus (Vixen)
Mandrill ?



Your gonna get a 30-ton mech. If your against getting a Urbanmech please point at what 30 ton mech you want instead.

Believe it or not, I've done well with it in CW. Mostly because mine is a lightweight decent alpha sniper with an ER PPC and an AC/10, so I can have a reasonably fast PPFLD sniper mech, a more typical brawler light and two assaults.
Works pretty well on defense and offense, people tend to ignore it so I can light up any hostiles or Omega at range without being attacked myself.
Killing a streaktaro with one of these is just priceless.
I've retired that drop deck for now though, I'm working on some other mechs at the moment.

Build please? I honestly have now idea how you could fit both, seeing as I can't even manage to fit 2xAC2 on it.

Better than Rocket... especially if the lights worked.

Finally, won't have to hear about it anymore for discussions of the next mech to be added.

Clearly the lights would be toggled using the Missile Bay Doors key.

Here it is.
A 225 XL engine with one external double heat sink, endo + ferro, an AC/10 with 2 tons of ammo and an ER PPC, leaving enough tonnage to fully armor everything but the arms and head.
Armor values are not entirely accurate, but this is the basic idea, it's fast sniper mech so you want to frontload your armor, and arm or head armor isn't necessary on a Cicada.
Top speed is 100.2 when tweaked.

Funny to read that the UrbanMech is a joke?
Really? Considering the actual game play - the Panther is a joke either.
But its allready recognized by the Devs - so the max engine rating of the Panther is a 250. Making it as fast as the "Koshi"
Ok - you say that is not fast enough - well i think it is fast enough considering the PPC and ERPPC quirks it will get - looking at you TDR-9S
So the Panther would be a great addition for CW

Same could be said about the UrbanMech. Give it a 195 Engine Cap - should be enough for 14-15tons of weapon load - including 5t of FF armor, ES, XL engine and SHS.
making it small - and some armor quirks - the UrbanMech don't have to be a joke even when game play doesn't favour "light" mechs below 100kph.
