Currently, the Street Sweeper Urbanmech as unveiled with the Solaris-7 announcement, has a meh loadout. It's hardpoints are okay somewhat as it can still perform builds, the increase max engine to 210 and jump jets to 6 is quite heretical for my taste but not an unwelcomed advantage.

The load-out however, that's pretty meh, it's basically the R60 with a better paint-job, and can be better optimized, but otherwise still a meh loadout. I believe it could be A LOT better and a lot different, why don't we upgrade it to LFE100 + 4x JJ + RAC5 with 2t ammo + 2x ERML + Endo-Steel + Double Heat Sink?

I don't really see why the stock loadout even matters.

It should raise the MC cost of the Street Sweeper. Also it's name is misleading for a cannon, not a rapid-fire or multi-projectile weapon.

It's a stock (And lore, I believe) loadout, who cares?

Also, it's a hero. Its MC value will be locked to it's weight, not it's loadout.

I do. A bit.

Oh, i did not know that.

Nevermind about the MC part.

Yeah it doesnt matter either if the stock loadout would be better. So nobody looses a dime if you just vote for this change.

No.. RAC5 is garbage.. Should be an LBX 10

That would basically make it a super-stock UM-R63.

[VonBruinwald]

Remove the upper Arm actuator and give it an LBX-20; now THAT would be a street-sweeper.

I see your agenda, you want RAC quirks on an Urbie for ultimate pwnage.

[Sigmar Sich]

Stock loadout is insignificant, if hardpoints are disaster. Having higher max engine and 2 more max JJs is useless. Except few underwhelming weapon loadouts, you will not be able to use those because of weight.
New hero Urbie is very boring, if compared to other trashcans.

To make him interesting, you should look beyond stock loadout, into hardpoint changes. Want make fast urbie? Give it MASC, instead of useless max engine. Unique? Give it ECM (nobody really gives much attention to janitors). Interesting weapon configuration? Give it machineguns in CT, or energy right arm with PPC. Or left arm with machineguns...

As much as i love urbies, and i have them all, this new model is of zero interest to me.

[BrunoSSace]

Meh its an urbie. Should buff the griffin and give it one more energy for reasons making it more unique.

[Bishop Steiner]

it needs different hardpoints. Period.

Meh..it's a Griffin.. who gives a crap about Griffins?

I do, it's very beautiful mech, and i love to play most of its variants.
New hero Griffin is suffering same illness as new hero Urbie - boring hardpoint design. I think we have an epidemiс...

Bruh throw my K9 load out on that thing!

Exactly. And table-top wise, i think it allows the Urbie to burst 30 damage in 1 turn, so it would really be a potent damage dealer.

True, Amen.

I mean honestly it just caters to a sniper build with faster movement speed.

Sure, i guess. But R63 is my best RAC Urbie because i can shave the armor and put lasers on the side-torso. That guy doesn't have torso energy hardpoints, that means i have to shell out moar tonnage to armor up the energy arms.

Tbh, hardpoints matter much more than loadout.

Since the solaris pack is mostly aimed at new players, I'd be in favour of giving the griffin ECM so new players can familiarize themselves with that piece of equipment.

I don't inherently disagree with you, I was simply answering a douchepost with another one.

[BrunoSSace]

Touchy, you think a guy that lives on the fourms, could take a joke.
