-You know what this game needs? More Urbies!
-You know what would allow more Urbies to be on the field especially in FP? Urbie IIC!
-You know what this game needs to keep the servers on? People buying stuff!
-You know what people would buy? Urbie IIC!

Well at least at a reduced cost I think they would. And you know what I have a very easy way for PGI to make that happen. Its so easy and obvious that you probably already figured it out and all this writing is pointless. But the answer is just give us some variants of the IS Urbie with clan equipment as the Urbie IIC. Just change the default paintjob and maybe some minor geometry tweaks, throw in some quirk changes and bam new mech. No need for a new model so cost to make it happen would be low and the pack could be cheaper to encourage purchases even though the game is in maintenance mode.

And this brilliant, fool proof, amazing plan can be applied to more mechs too. The Urbie IIC of course should be the first, but there are a few other IS mechs in the game that have similar IIC versions in lore that are not in the game yet. Just go through and release some of them as IIC mechs, maybe a few at a time as a pack.

So raise your hand if you want an Urbie IIC.

it's the ONE thing I'd still buy from this company at this point.

[Lanzman]

IF PGI ever releases another mech pack, and IF they want us to actually pay real money for it, it should be a Wasp/Stinger/Valkyrie combo pack. Maybe two variants of each mech for six total, at a reasonable price point - fifty bucks, say.

[FRAGTAST1C]

I'd rather they get their sale offers in order first. They haven't been able to do even that right lately.

[VonBruinwald]

Only if it's released as an IS Hero mech..

Urbie was an undead forced meme 10 years ago already. Let it rest in peace.

It should have been released as a surprise April Fool's release. I kinda get the notion from PGI that they want the Urbanmech to remain unique to the IS side, but I'd welcome the trashcan IIC if that means it'll be anywhere near as tanky as it's IS cousin.

urbie op. can you imagine what a clan urbie would be?

[Gladiolix]

Would be an instant buy for me, but sadly it's unlikely we're going to see it..

Urbie IIC would be an amazing pack to follow the Stalker IIC

[JediPanther]

Don't see the big deal about 2cs. Might as well just re-release all IS mechs as 2cs or just make it clan vs clan only. Pgi has never made a game worth buying.

I find your lack of Crusader disturbing, seeing how it seems to be the last Unseen mech that we do not have yet.

I think we are missing the Longbow , Stinger and Wasp as well if we are talking about the last missing unseens.

We already have two IS hero Urbies, but hey if they want to release a third to counter this IIC then that's fine.

Hmmmm so what you are saying is the Urbie IIC hero mech should have a zombie theme... Odd way of saying it and I would rather not wait till Halloween but I guess we could get the IIC pack now and then another hero around then.

I can, and I did. Its described in the OP.

They can release the Urbie IIC first everywhere but upside down land since everything is backwards there.

Also...what Stalker IIC!?!?

That's because the game has never had the Urbie IIC. With that it would all be worth it.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

It's too little, too late. Even more Urbies couldn't make me open my wallet again at this point. I'd probably log back in to try them when they dropped for cbills, though- because Urbies.
