urbie builds!

Well, from what I remember there are gyroscope and cockpits you can choose from in the mechbuilding section wa back. I think there is a more compact/lighter cockpit, as well as a smaller/lighter gyro, although I forgot which year will those be available.

The lighter/smaller cockpit would be great, since a pilot's life means shit to us. We are already making them sit on a stack of ammo already, so we can save some tonnage and just ductape him to the stack of SRM ammo in the cockpit.

 

I believe the small cockpit had penalties for piloting, which would probably surface in MWO in some form as well.

 

Absolutely dead set on playing an UrbanMech some... was really disappointed when I learned it's not out for another what, 5 months? Ugh.. typical with this game.

 

PGI tend to release their stuff a bit early now, not sure how much earlier, but a couple weeks early is not beyond what they can do.
I can see they release it a bit earlier so lure more MC/package purchase.

 

Clan Wars Urbanrush!

 

OK from twitter Bryan just said it will be 180-210, likely 180 to match clan mechs. Monthly forward look to be posted by midnight Sat

 

UM-60L - The missing two tons is the third MPL. - Assuming 180 is the max.

 

I wish they set it at 200. That 3 crit slot makes a difference.
