eh, I got a DA account. And a Photobucket. Is that what you mean? (I ain't exactly computer savvy, lol)

OMG.
Just found your DA account.
And found a marvelous Assassin design.
It's one of my favorite, and your too...... could you start an Assassin campaign such as the Urbie one?
I know you can do it.

BTW, a zip/rar with your "creatures" in any site would be appreciated.

hmm 50% eh? guess you were right bishop. was hoping it'd be a bit higher.figure the biggest rush of buying happens the first day- or maybe on the weekend up when people get paid on friday.

in any case brought spider-urbie out for some practice time today.

Nice kill there Bishop.

Looks like you're posing with a 12 point trophy class buck.

Well, 20 bucks is cheap, and if you decide you don't like the future details, you can always refund it. Russ is asking about engine sizes on Twitter, now, Those with accts, I recommend giving him input. Those without, well, sign up, if you actually want to be heard.

It's cheap if you aren't spending too much money on a woman like I am, but that's the price I pay to have something that vaguely resembles a social life.

also, Russ says after 24 hours we are at 50% goal.

So to celebrate that milestone, and maybe excite some fence sitters, I did a new Urbie Drawing this morning


Hope you all like it!

I need to print this and frame it....The Bishop Limited Edition!

Ain't that the truth!

Luckily I was still able to rummage under the couch cushions and come up with $40.

Ho stop.

Peoples are not complaining because the others Light Mech can change there engine and go at incredible speed compared to the "stock" version.
Yet here you would complain about the Urbie?


People have transformed firestarte on LaserStarter, yet nobody complain about that.
Ravens who are technicly "slow" lights can also go at paste 120km/h yet nobody complain about that.

Now, people don't want the Urbanmech to be also a fast little fùcker for the fun? It's not like he could use his AC/20 with the engine.

Personatly I know I will keep it slow... And probably replace the Small laser with a PPC and change the ballisct weapons for MG.

I'm thinking 4MPLs or maybe a LPL and 4MGs.

Spend your time on women, spend your money on MechWarrior. In my experience it takes more man hours to get a mech in your bay than a woman in your bed, and more money to get the woman than the mech.

It depends on what mech building rules they follow.

If they use the 1.4 x STD then you end up with a STD 90 as a limit. Which is still really really slow (48kph?).

If they try to make it as fast as a spider then you are looking at 240 to 285 as a limit.

I'd be satisfied with something in the 180 to 220 or 240 range. At the low end, that would limit its speed to under 100 (which is slow for IS light mechs) but still supply decent maneuverability while the higher end would still be slower than/equal to the stock spider.

They may be making it as something of a niche mech requested by fans but there is no reason to make it completely useless. Also, keep in mind that it won't be able to effectively equip double heat sinks unless it can fit larger engines. 9 DHS is 27 slots which will take up a lot of the available crit space.

Anyway, I would not expect PGI to make it OP ... but on the other hand I don't see any reason for them not to make it viable ... most IS stock mech loadouts are very sub-par. The urbie is just a particularly good example of a bad stock layout

Russ Bullock:I am leaning towards 215 - same top speed as the upcoming slowest IS light the Panther - top speed 116 kph before speed tweak.Or we could go 200 - 210 max engine so it's slightly slower than Panther and gets that distinction

Somehow I don't think it's going to get an engine cap of an engine that weighs nearly 2x the entire mech, but at least noone can accuse you of not dreaming big.

Was able to scrounge the money to buy the standard version for now. =D May or may not upgrade depending on the unique geometry (its gonna have to be badass).
