I'm personally hoping for at least 190. Three forced heatsinks is enough for me. If it gets stuck below 180, that puts it below Kitfox/Adder levels and immediately sends it to the junk heap.

If they make it 190, they might as well make it 195, same weight so they have no reason not too.

Yeah, I've said that about quite a few mechs. Locust, for instance, stuck at 190. I'd expect them to pick some arbitrary number that sounds good rather than makes sense. See Blackjacks and 235 engine caps.

235 is actually just the "formula". It's just the inconsistency, and how and why they break formula, that is often ...confusing.

For me, my perspective would be to "apply the formula" and then round UP to the nearest "25" (1 xtra heat sink internal, for every 25, after all), and then only deviate in the cases of mechs where it obviously NEEDS something extra.

I very much hope someone makes gaus urbie 360 no scope montage video's their number one priority.

Have we heared positive confirmation that the Urbie is hitting the production lines? I'd imagine we hit our goal, but do we know for sure yet?

Russ said he'll let us know today.

But it's still 3am over there, so it'll pribably be around 6~ hours yet.

Ok, thanks. I saw the blueprint photo and it said "approved" in faded letters. I figured it was more reffering to the design, but I just wanted to check. I'm on the forums quite a bit, but I still miss stuff.

Urb-a-geddon is high. Repent your sins or forever be consigned to the hell of pugstompia where all your matches are rolls and the only comms are people screaming about lrms noobs and ppfld-jump-sniper-hill hump meta gameplay on Terra thermal!

I imagine Bishop is screaming with joy.

Happy Days!

Talk about just squeaking by though. It sounds like we were really close.

Oh yeah. It feels good to see the community back up their requests. I'm eagerly awaiting stock urbie days.

"It's like playing in slow motion!"

[VirtualSmitty]

OH YEA! I'm sure it had to be real close.

Okay even though were just a couple % away from the finish line for the Urbie I will go ahead and officially state it is a "GO"

I called it, I knew it would get close enough to get the green light... now to load my guns for shooting at R2FU's enmass.

I'm actually not that big of a fan of the UrbanMech, BUT if we get promised an Urbie exclusive game mode in a small urban environment I will buy the $40 package! Also I would be disappointed if they made the Urbie faster than the KitFox.

Also there is currently an Urbie lottery ongoing in the forums that might hold back some buyers until its finished (27.01)

A game mode / map would be amazing. This game badly needs an urban environment anyway, as it would be one of the first in the series to have the ability to do it right.

I considered holding off until after the contest, but decided that I want to support MWO either way. If I win, I'll just donate it to my nephew who only has 4 mechs.

Oh yeah... kind of surprised no one posted this yet. It feels obligatory by now.
