Hey all,
Playing vanilla, latest patch, all DLC. The Urbanmech is my favorite mech, and the UM-SA1 variant is my favorite because of how fast it is.
I’m looking for ways to keep it hanging in higher tonnage missions. Right now it has the PPC-X it came with, and a machine gun to try to run as a flanking machine and it’s fairly effective but I’m wondering if there’s some other option I’m missing.
I’ve been riding an MT-03 for a couple of years now and am looking for something a little more capable of handling 50+ mile one way commutes on an interstate while carrying some luggage or cargo in a fairly hilly area In the US.
For reference, I take the MT-03 on this trip reasonably often but it gets a little fatiguing after an hour or so, and a heavier backpack is annoying and tends to hit the rear seat and generally be uncomfortable. I’m 5’8” and find the bike easy to flat foot but I tend to feel cramped after riding for a while as well.
i like the seating position on the MT-03 and am not looking to go for a massive engine. Something in the 650/700 range would be plenty - something with an upright seating position, easily mounted luggage, decent range/mileage, and not a cruiser.
any ideas?
