That's the stock engine. The engine cap will probably be higher than that...

Please tell me the Urbnmech's warhorn plays "La Cucaracha"....

[Victor Morson]

Interestingly Russ said at the town hall that the 60 STD actually will reduce the tonnage of a 'mech, rather than increase it.

I'm definitely going to pick up a pack this evening!

no I know they will probably raise it, but I mean I'm surprised they are going to put the under 100 engines back in.

I bought mine I waiting for the server to come back online to enter the promo code.

Corbon Zackery fully support this decision buy Russ in his drunken late night sleep deprived state.

His 2nd job as a cricket phone salesmen is very tiring. This has allowed great thing to happen that will help benefit the game by giving us more diversity on the battlefield.

Yea Don't under any circumstances sell that eng. it will be a one of the kind item.

It's because of the engine rules. The STD60 needs 8 external heatsinks, so they had to reduce its tonnage by 8 tons to make room for the 8 external sinks. When you add the sinks, the tonnage becomes what it would be in TT.

under 100 engines display negative tonnage I think because of a bug, but once you add in the needed heat sinks its the correct tonnage.

On a side note, the FAQ for the sales page isn't even up yet. I wonder by what time we'll know the engine cap...

Hero not Dep Dawg, no go for me.

This. Im MWO engine weight = Engine itself + Gyro (Engine rating/100 rounded up tons) + Cockpit (3 tons) - 1 ton for each heat sink missing (if less than 10)

I'll buy the Urbs package if the engine limit is at least 180, so it can match Kit Fox speed.

Its not a bug, the way TT works it factors in heatsinks. Why they didn't think to consider something might use an engine less than the value they appointed it is beyond me.

[Wrathful Scythe]

40 $ well spent.

[Dirus Nigh]

XL300 urbie or bust!

Also want Hurbie the Love Bug theme music to play when using a XL300 engine at max speed.

It's a bit odd that the mech with the 360 torso twist comes with the 360 Targeting Retention. It's like, the one mech that doesn't need it...

Just made my purchase. *joy*
