Well, PGI decided that the Urbie has to be at least semi-viable, and I think in the long run, it was a good decision. Uninformed buyers wouldn't understand that it's just a joke mech for fans. Even with the biggest engine it will be really slow for a light, while having very limited firepower, due to hardpoints, tonnage and space limits.

At least it's small, but small doesn't help THAT much, if you are slow.

I should have known better than to get giddy, after seeing things like the most recent quirks pass and the Resistance mechs. I was expecting it to be on-par with the other countdown to Urbie days...

The only thing I particularly like from those quirks is the MG RoF, even if it's just a really crappy value (you get to fire 10.75 bullets per second instead of 10.0...oh joy). This should hopefully set the precedent to use this quirk for MG mechs instead of derpy MG range...

It would have been nice to see a video with stock trash cans along with this video......but I don't imagine I'll see too many stock builds even on the first day.
