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.

Just think of how fast it could go.


On a more serious note. I think the Urbie needs quirks that will make its AC10 fire as far as an AC5 round, with the speed of an AC2 round. Then give it some ammo quirks (double ammo per ton for AC10/20 and LB-Xs

And it is not a garbage mech, it is a garbage can mech. Get it right.

"Can" 'mech - as in "can do!"

Or, as the left leg art says: "Clan Mechs? Everywhere? GOOD!"

I thought I saw someone mention in another thread that this was this going to be the only way to acquire the Urbanmech but I didn't see anything stating that on the order page...

I'm guessing it's going to be available eventually for MC or c-bills?

Right now I believe they are just seeing if people are serious about the Urbanmech, once they know we are they will work out release dates for the MC and C-bill.

never because they are so OP, PGI keeps them as p2w features.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Well I'm in for $40, just to counter-troll Russ.

[NUK3]

Just got my premium trash can! The fact that this 'Mech will hit my MechBays just after I will finish a very fun and important university project makes me quite happy.

I'm planning on getting the Collector's Pack.

[Unnatural Growth]

Bought the collectors package last night. No idea why really. I wasn't really that "into" the Urbie craze. But Like someone else said, I'm willing to reward PGI just for listening to their customers and bringing this content because we asked for it.

I was kind of surprised we don't get it until April.

Pretty sure it's because they haven't actually made it, and the whole sale is to see if they can recoup personnel costs on design and implementation. They're probably going to have to shoehorn it into the existing pipeline, thus the delay.

Still, I'm in for the wait though. Better than never getting the little guy. As someone who loved my pre-quirk locust, I'm kind of exited for "hard mode."

Whaaat?

you mean that i am potentially preventing a polishing pass on animations/art/gameplay features???

i... feel... guilty.!

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

Once that TBD on engine cap goes away, I'll consider it.

[Stonefalcon]

Not so good sir, allay your fears and rejoice.

Each team is seperate atm.

One on mechs (currently making resistance mechs)
One on maps (currently making 4 more CW maps)
One on features (currently voip, ui2.1, improve cw, and I think something else)
I think there might be more, but that's the main ones.
I believe Russ stated there's a weapon pass planned to fix the not updated chassis, and bring in some size standardisation too.

Urbs is April because it's going to be done once the resistance pack is finished.
The only thing delayed is whatever mech would have been done to release aprilish, that may not have even been chosen yet.

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.

[Samophlange]

And... SOLD! Now to name the little dudes.
Herbie the love urbie.
Oscar....of course
and, Hefty. After the trash bags.

Yay, urbies!

[Bishop Steiner]

so I think that's 122 packs confirmed on here....and have a feeling that is a SMALL percent of the number sold.

I'm sure the urbie can learn this trick as well.

I suspect Chuck Norris learned it from the Urbie
