I can appreciate a slow moving turret like the Urbanmech. My question is, will PGI add smaller engines? I want 32KPH SPEED TWEEKED.

according to the loadout on the sales page it comes with a 60 std engine.

It's moving too fast.

Would be kinda tempted if it was released...today? but dotn feel like waiting 2 months for a mech that will be utter garbage and not worth the money...that and I already said I was done spending money on the game after the clans.

Russ is leaning toward a 215, per his twitter acct. So if you are looking for a trashcan shaped spider, well, no go. If you are looking for something that can pace a Kitfox if you want, then yup.

The suspense, is like being slowly roasted by a Flamer Stalker....

[zortesh]

I for some reason imagine slow moving hordes of urbanmechs poptarting from behind assaults they can barely keep up with.

[Old Farkas]

PGI will have my money for this Battlemech!

don't worry, PGI is going to nerf LRM speed so the urbie can out run them.

[anonymous161]

I hope I see plenty of urbies on the opposing team so I can rake in the cbills faster. Keep throwing your money away not like many of you likely spending it on your kids or anything like that. I have a almost 5 month year old...rather buy him legos.

[Nekomimi]

I would be content with the 116kph Urbie. Faster then a Hunchback with speedtweak, sleeker profile than a comando and a nasty right hook. New OP meta right here guys.

his latest thought is keep it in line with the Kit Fox/Adder. 97.6 b4 ST. aka 180. When people campaign for slower, he seems to slap it down pretty hard.

I think you can pretty well hardlock it between 180 and 210 (as a certain someone predicted!)

How many times can one man quit a game?

[Foxfire kadrpg]

I bought the Urban mech with three things in mind: one, I'd like to experiance 360 torso twisting. Seriously. Second, in the short while I have learned about Urban mechs, I have got caught up in the hype and am looking forward to another virtual status symbol.

But probably most important of all is that it represents a trust between PGI and the players. Russ had no idea there was so much love the little mech, still doesn't, but in good business practice, is giving us the benefit of the doubt. I want to encourage this sort of commercial relationship without it being "I yell at them less".

This may be my first purchase...but I'm holding off for a bit to see the discussions on ghost heat.

I would buy something a more competitive to begin with. Or, wait till thy are released and then kill some to get a feel if its an easy mech to kill and worthy of cash. My suggestion is a medium or heavy is a better first buy

First you say you are tempted, then you bash others while pretending to be virtuous and thrifty with your money.

BTW 5 month olds don't play with Legos. If you have a baby and are short on cash, then you aren't buying Legos, you are sweating diapers.....

I hope that you are lying about having a kid just so you can pretend you aren't a virgin, because if you are this whiny here, I'd hate to see what you kid would turn out like.


**Edit**
Almost forgot, I am waffling on the Urbies. On one hand I just bought the 2 KCs that just came out, but I will have them at least Elited by April, well maybe, life is kicking my butt, what with chess tournaments on top of basketball games, not counting homework etc (Protip: In addition to being expensive on the order of I can buy a car for that, private schools can be a grade level or so ahead of "normal" so homework and projects can be a real *****) so may not get them leveled, and still need to Elite (or sell) 1-3 Commandoes......so really waffling on the $20 package. On one hand I want to help out, but on the other what else am I going to do with all those Cbills? Spent 20 on KCs, then DHS on one, plus weapons etc and still have over 10m laying around. Module prices piss me off, so not buying more than one or so (run diff builds in CW FTR).

Then again payday is Friday, so we will see. Of course have some buyer's remorse over WL2 (yes I played the original in the 80's, I'm old, get over it!!) so plunking down more money on a game.......
