The System is intended to be highly customizable, and comes with a variety of optional rules that can be added or removed to give a GM the desired feeling of chunkiness.

There's also indepth mecha, weapon, and armor creation rules.

I don't know GURPS' spaceship rules well enough to say they're good for making giant robots, but they're there, and GURPS is usually pretty good.

BRP has a mecha supplement that I like a lot, but it's no longer for sale and is really hard to find these days.

You ever try out Mekton Z op?

Oh Shit Nigger
might have to try this out soon if I can get my friends over.

Mekton Zeta has numerous, numerous problems. Besides being data, All combat essentially runs on Dexterity, making it trivial.

OP is god's mecha-loving prophet

There's actually a couple easier to play mecha games out there: Chris Perrin's Mecha and Battle Century G. The former focuses on a more abstract bullseye map and is focused more capture points so you can have stuff like recurring villains easy. Meanwhile, BCG is just straight up Super Robot Wars.

I have a migraine right now so I haven't read over your rules yet, OP, but thanks a lot. Has there been any play testing yet? I could try to run something if there hasn't. Though the best advice for a mecha game I can really give is don't go overboard with the customization and crunch: people already have Mekton Z (well if anybody could actually figure how to play the damned thing), GURPS, and ORE Mecha for that.

I've kinda considered maybe doing a Gundam hack of Apocalypse World Gundam Galaxy, but I'm not sure if anybody else would really want that.

As far as Mekton Z goes, look for an anon named Wong he seems to understand it pretty well. He even seems to get the ATM which makes no sense

Typo on page 15. Circus and Gunner both affect ranged weapons.

>you must track them down like an ancient monk bearing lost knowledge

HOLY SHIT, OP really is doing god's work.

How would your system handle multi-pilot combiners like Combattler V or power ranger megazords?

I originally tried to do that, but after a whole lot of debate and discussion and testing it turns out that multiple pilots in one thing just isn't fun for all the players. I wanted to, by god I wanted to, but It just didn't work out.

Gonna have to get it later tonight. Sweet looking though.
