That role was already fulfilled by the Spider 5V, actually.

Well, I was being generous, I expect it to be more like T7, honestly, but I did not want to offend those that think an R2D2 shaped mech that is 33% slower than a stock non-elited DW for 30% of the tonnage is somehow going to be...fun...at all....

The good news: when you get speed tweak you will almost hit 36 kph.

Where is that urbanmech now?

I am just saying I have never had better cause to apply that phrase in all of my intarbeb existence.
If you really want a 32.4kph (with 1.4x adjust + speedfreak = 50.5 kph maximum speed light mech), then I am 100% behind you. But if you are really looking for a 200 or 250 engine rating maximum then YES, we have jumped the shark.



And yes, if this comes to pass, I will be sour grapes over the engine max of many light mechs and the Vindicator and Blackjack)

PGI already said they'd be giving us a much higher max engine so we'd be hitting in the 100kph range

with this and the new clan variants....they will get more of my money.

Implying that the maximum engine cap will be 60.

Given that the "Urbanmech Arrives on the Battlefield!" joke thread shows an engine cap of 150, this means that it's safe to believe that the real Urbie will have an engine cap of at least 150. That's still pretty slow (89.1 kph), but a crapload better than TT.

[wanderer]

I'd be OK with 120-125, actually. That gets Urbieslow up to the blistering speeds of your average heavy 'Mech.

[MarineTech]

Every time I see an Urbie... I think of this picture.

How about a 2 ERPPC + 2 Gauss poptart Whale? It would be like slaughtering puppies.

I eagerly await the arrival of my new preferred target drones.
