So we get an Oscar the Grouch Urbie item! Awesome!

Also, these kill-based cockpit items could be the start of a great cosmetic trend, imagine:

- A cookie jar that opens up and drops a cookie into the cockpit for every kill.
- A gumball machine that dispenses a random-colored gumball for each kill or assist.
- A lamp that glows brighter for every assist.

I was going to wait until after release to get the Urbies. Then the Glasses cockpit item was shown, which got me considering it. Then THIS cockpit item was shown...

There is no mech than the Urbanmech, and none shall go before him. Do not forsake the Urbanmech, for he is mighty and he will smite thee with his hallowed DAKKA!

Crap, I might have to upgrade the package to get more (not buying it with MC :P ).

Still, this is better than any warhorn that has been released to date (although, there is one warhorn that does have some animation when it is activated - I forget which it is though).

Any of the holographic horns do. They bounce in and out when activated. The holographic rings also constantly spin.

The only thing the devs can do to top this urbtastic cockpit item, is to let us use the faction skins. Specificly the Davion faction skin.

THis must be done, I know I dont have to explain why.

Yea... but the Urbie popping up is far far more exciting than noisemakers.

PGI needs to have that trash-can Urbie made as a real-life desk toy.

IT. MUST. HAPPEN!

The Brethren will be hosting! 6 P.M. Pacific to 8 P.M. Pacific

BYOTS (Bring your own TeamSpeak) We have some room for solo droppers but the Unit based guys will need their own comms.

STOCK URBIES ONLY, run them as delivered by PGI.

Agreed. It is certainly more eye catching.

Well, if you use the Davion Heavy Guards paint job, and rearrange the colors. You get some thing like this.
