BattleMech Technical Readout
Type/Model: Urbanmech UM-R60U
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3025

Rules: Level 2, Standard design
Mass: 30 tons

Power Plant: 60 Leenex Fusion
Walking Speed: 21.6 km/h
Maximum Speed: 32.4 km/h
Jump Jets: 2 Pitban 6000 Standard Jump Jets
Jump Capacity: 60 meters
Armor Type: Durallex Medium Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
1 Autocannon/5
2 Medium Lasers

Manufacturer: Orguss Industries
Location: (Unknown)
Communications System: Dalban Interact
Targeting & Tracking System: Dalban Urban
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
In concept, the idea behind the Urbanmech is solid- a light mech which can do
considerable amounts of damage in an urban or other close-quarters
environment.
The problem with this is that in order to give the unit more firepower, speed
was reduced greatly; the average assault mech moves faster than the Urbanmech
can. By the time the Urbanmech can close to do damage with its arsenal, there
is a good chance that a skilled foe would be able to whittle the armor down.
To make matters worse, once the AC/10 is out of ammo, the pilot is forced to
use a single small laser for defense.
This version attempts to remedy the situation. The AC/10 is traded out for a
lighter AC/5. This provides 90 more meters of range while still effective in
close quarters-combat. Granted, there is a damage trade-off. In addition,
Ferro armor was added, allowing more protection for half a ton less.
The tonnage freed up by the AC trade, as well as the ferro and an unused heat
sink, left additional tonnage to use. First on the list was installing a CASE
mechanism to guard the AC ammo. After that, the single small laser was
replaced with twin medium lasers, with one in the head. ECM, BAP, and an
anti-personell pod were also installed to give the unit an additional
advantage in urban and similar settings.
==Capabilities:==
==Battle History:==
==Variants:==
For those wishing for additional close-range firepower, it has been proposed
that the electronics and the anti-personell pod be removed and replaced with a
CASE in the left torso, as well as either an SRM 4 (left torso) or four
machine guns (two in each arm) plus a ton of ammo housed in the left torso.
As a variation on this, an LRM can also be used instead.

Well, that's not a bad design. Too much electronics for a garrison 'Mech IMHO. Here's my old Urbanmech II. I think it's solid, all I did was up the tonnage a bit. By strengthening the frame to hold another 5 tons, I believe I've increased the Urbie's effectiveness while allowing it to remain familiar to players.

An Urbie needs a BFG to be able to "scare" lights a little...this doesn't have one. Plus as CO_17 has noted, far too much electronics on the mech.
BIG thumbs down on this one...

Well, what's your proposed upgrade on the Urbie, Chihawk? It's one of your favorite 'Mechs right? I'm sure you designed an upgrade at some point.

I've never bothered to make an upgrade of the Urbie, it's one of the few mechs that's perfect for it's role.

Hey chihawk you may like this Urbie upgrade I came up with this one for a Solaris League I was in after my beloved gold bug got decapped and I was assigned an Urbanmech as a replacement so I droped the class 10 autocannon for a PPC and two medium lasers droped the small laser added half a ton of armour and four more heatsinks

Sounds like what I did once. 'cept by the time I was done there was so little left of the original stuff that I ended up deciding to give it a new name.
After running out of ideas I called it the Meerkat. If I can find it I'll post it.

I knew you would like it I kept in mind when I designed it that the main thing it had going for it was the class 10 autocannon the PPC does the same damage at a slightly longer range and is a lot lighter than the autocannon and ammo giving me the tonnage to make the other upgrades in addition it removes the danger of ammo explosion.
This thing has a rather interresting battle history.I made its debuet in a 9 mech free for all and was the only light I started the battle in the middle of a rock formation I lumbered around to attack the next smallest mech a wolverine it was on the other side of the formation I jumped up where I could get a shot this was on terrain using miniture rules he was 6' away I fired every thing and all hit his left leg criting an actuator he hit me with a medium laser in return RT IIRC he fled out of line of sight,so I hung my right arm around the formation and lined up on an Atlas and fired the range was 34" and some how I managed to hit RT return fire splattered the rocks I was hiding behind next I jumped down and started "running" behind the rock formation trying to catch up to the Wolverine I hit earlier a heavy got to him first and I anded up facing a Maurader it was not pretty sufice it to say that was the end of the little urbie but what a fight.
