[Maer Bear]

I'm in for a free Urbie, even though I'm not sure what I'll do with it.

We will need some urbie-only private matches.

Cool thread dude! I'd like to have an urbie because i am an urbie in human disguise.

The urbanmech is my spirit animal.

[Shibas]

[StRohl]

Dont under stand why people want it.It gonna sucks.
I get it ,I will show the world how sucky it is.

This dead horse has been beaten about a gazillion more times, but it's actually not as bad as people think it is. Remember, this mech on average packs the firepower of a medium, or some heavies. Also, we have a full mechlab to upgrade/customize it in.

Even if it is the worst mech in the game. I will still find a way to roll face with it. I did it with the locust before, and that's 10 tons lighter.

I have history with the Urbanmech, ergo I need one. Or three. PLEEEEEAAAASE!!!!!

And we need the Urbanmech IIC.

Here are the Gauss options you have (along with weight and slot cost) that you can actually mount on an urbie (for the record an urbie with 4 ballistics can slap 4, FOUR AP Gauss Rifles on):

1- AP Gauss Rifle: 0.5 Tons, 1 Slot, 1 heat, 3 damage.
2- Magshot: 0.5 tons, 2 slots, 1 heat, 2 damage
3- Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle: 15 tons, 7 slots, 1 heat, 1 damage per slug (think of it like a gauss speed clan UAC)
4- Gauss Rifle: 15 tons, 7 slots, 1 heat 15 damage.

Clearly AP, and magshot are the only ones the Urbie can mount in multiples, and they are Gauss weapons. So, for intimidation you can say you're in an urbie with six Gauss rifles in it. They don't need to know they are AP GRs, or Magshot GRs.

AP Gauss is a Clan weapon, sadly.

With all those entries and all those packages so freely offered, maybe I should change my mind and join in.

But I wont! I still wish everyone good luck and I am gratefull to MoonUnitBeta for this very, very generous offer.

More like farm you ASAP since you're one big CT, and slow as heck too.

Given its cylindrical shape the hit boxes can be pretty arbitrarily drawn. So, we could very easily end up with huge side torsos and tiny CT. Which would make xl's awful but would make a std build very tanky. I am actually hoping for this because it would promote more traditional slow big weapon builds instead of faster light weapon builds.

Haha, you can if you want to! Everyone's welcome to enter if they want to. Don't feel like you can't or shouldn't enter because you were a volunteer mod or anything. It's all for good fun anyways.

Haters gonna hate, amirite?

size, and the arm hitboxes can matter a lot, too. And hey, if they can get it half the broken hitreg feathering JJs allow FS9s........
