We need a Champion Urbie, and it should be a missile dinghy! We already have a missile Locust and a missile Jenner (Oxide), so there is ample precendent.

A missile Urbie fitted out with say,4 SRM4 or comparable LRMs according to weight, would be an excellent harasser or assassin mech.

Assassin? At 100 so kph?
How adorable.

I've found the Urbie to be a fun mech to play and fully capable of getting kills and significant damage. W need to broaded the little guy's horizons.

That would be a Hero, actually.

Champions are an existing variant, with a nonstandard build and an XP bonus. Heroes are what get new and different hardpoints.

There is a missile variant but that doesn't come in till mrms.

I would pay so much money for an Urbie with SRM2s quirked like a huginn so I can run around death blossoming everything.

If there was going to be an Urbanmech with missiles, I think an LRM setup might be a better idea.

SRMs on a 35 ton mech moving 100kph would be dangerous...to the pilot. Even with Huggin style quirks (overdone on the Huggin as is), the Urbie just couldn't get away fast enough.

Now, as a long range LRM support mech...might be interesting. A 100kph light firing a LRMs on the move sounds a bit more tempting too me, and more survivable.

A missile Urbie.... LRM Turret! +1 would buy NAO!
