Enter me please, because going fast is completely overrated.

[SciFiBradley]

Looking forward to seeing what the Urbanmech hype is all about - good & bad.

[BLACKFIRE]

They should include an R2D2 Skin with the mech, that is all!

[DjKonline]

for once hoping to get picked last in something #freeurbie

I am very interested in the Urbanmech, we must get PGI to create a great city map for it.

Urbi, when you do not have to go anywhere anyway.

Sort of like pre-quirk Dragons and Locusts?

pre-quirk dragons were fine. especially the fang with an ac/20.

and the locust still isnt viable even after quirks, so it doesnt apply.

The vast majority of pre-quirk Dragons were atrociously horribad, and only a few loadouts could be considered "adequate" at best.

The point is, saying that "Oh, you just gotta play it different! It's the pilot not the mech!" is silly because some mechs are simply inferior than others no matter how magically good the person sitting in the pilot seat. Somebody who manages to get an uber high score in a sub-par mech has the physical ability to simply put themselves in a better mech at any time.

And I don't want the lovable trashcan to end up like that. Hence why I think it should be roughly on-par with Clan light speed.

Ill take a free R2_D2

anytime

[Sigilum Sanctum]

I want an urban mech just so I can give Kitfoxes and Adders a hard time. Its going to be hilarious.

i dunno about atrociously horribad. The dragon was average. but it was never on the same level of bad as the locust.

Anytime I play as the urbie, I shall only listen to Dies Irae: Requiem.

It was indisputably the worst heavy for the most part, with perhaps a few very very specific loadouts beating the Thunderbad (which was probably second worst).

Of course it wasn't Lolcust bad, but beating the pre-quirk Lolcust isn't a very difficult feat to accomplish.

Free trash can? Why the hell not!

[GreyGriffin]

I currently have something like 7 Urbanmech and three Urbanmech IIC models in the bottom of my model box.

When I ran a Battletech campaign, my players learned to dread them. Ambush tactics, ghetto jump jet dodges, and the infamous 20kph flanking maneuver laid low a surprising number of state-of-the-art Heavies.

or maybee I'm just a bad pilot and the urbie will make me look good

Sadly, you can't in this game - in Battletech if you didn't have lower arm actuators (jagermech) - you can reverse the arms and fire.

Urban mech was the my favorite mech to play in the Battletech 3025 game. Please let me play one in this game too!
