Agreed. But that means Spaceships is a spacecraft or perhaps aircraft design system, not a general vehicle design system. And most Mecha are more like AFVs than aircraft. > > Spaceships is for a free-wheeling, non-obsessive style of play > > and that doesn't mix with Mecha battles, I think :-) > > You might be surprised. I got Spaceships 2-4 and looked through it (no time to read them completely). I still don't think you can do Mecha with those rules ... battlesuits from UT are tougher than even a heavily armored mecha with Spaceships.
