Run a Mauler running an Annihilator build. 4 LBX 10's with a terrible engine. It's stupid, and it's fun. It's fupid.


The scary part is that it can work. And is still faster than a Dire.

I really think you are right! Enemies look at you, then look around around for a bit, then look back at you, one more quick glance behind them, then if they are totally sure you are the only target then they will shoot you.

To update - I've geared up a HBK IIC that I have in the mech garage but never got around to using. Based on the metamech guide I'm running a XL255 2x UAC10 but only a single CER ML. I lost a CER ML and added a DHS. I've also added another .5 ton ammo since I dropped the single jump jet which I thought was useless. This really is a shame as I think this would be a really fun build with some jumping ability - I will just need to clear up like 2 tons or so!

After HBK IICs, I think I will indeed check out a Night Gyr or three if I can afford them...I might have to skip the grind though and fork over some cash.

I have seen it done by DERP and maybe one other top MRBC team to devastating effect. People tend to forget, you can outfit Urbie with firepower of a fringe medium. It's NOT a weak mech by any stretch of the imagination if they are deployed in the right situation.

Maybe a Panther?

(only other Light I like, tbh)

But in truth, nothing else feel quite like an Urbie... though you can get some of the sexiness in a HBK.


Didn't like either the Panther nor the Wolfhound. I sold them other than the special one which I can't sell. As I said, I am not a light pilot. Only light IS mechs I own is the Locust 1V, Raven 3L, Jenner D(S), Wolfhound, Panther, and my 3 Urbies (I sold off the non special variant that was the same as the special one I have).
