Description
I colored another BishopSteiner design, this one is an Urbie variant (I’ll be honest, his Urbies are the best Urbies).Non-canon lore:
This image represents the best example of Canopian ingenuity and Urbanmech flexibility.
The Urbanmech-NM is a highly specialized variant mounting a Mark IV Lynx sensor suite (enhancing sensor range and breaking through ECM at extreme distances) along with a Mark II Cat’s Eye Sniper targeting system (for enhanced accuracy at extreme range) to provide targeting data to the paired AC/2 sniper autocannons. This allows the Urbanmech-NM to deliver HEAP rounds with extreme precision at distances up to 3km away. The only downside of the Cat’s Eye system is that it greatly hinders targeting within 300m leaving the pilot with the choice of disabling the system and losing the precision capabilities or suffering an extreme accuracy penalty but being able to place shots where they most need them.
