Looking for a Beyond the Supernatural 1e game group

Recently returned to gaming after a 30 year hiatus and am looking to join a group playing Beyond the Supernatural 1e. Back in the day we played Robotec, TMNT, Heroes Unlimited, Recon.  I’ve been playing/GMing Deadlands and quite frankly I’m sick tired of savage worlds, the rules and the kind of players it seems to attract. Anybody running BTS 1e around GMT +3 times?
What time GMT+3? and what days?
Any weekday between 3-7pm or Sundays 8pm-midnight.
Is Palladium/Rifts on the table or strictly BTS?  For that matter what about other systems (Traveller, Cthulhu, Pathfinder, Dungeon World, etc...) Schedule-wise. Sundays I already run.  3 pm weekdays would be 5am for me (Pacific GMT-7) ...hmmm.   It's kind of rough for me but I could probably manage to run a few during the week.  Like a one-shot or a story arc.   LMK.  Oh I've got 3 other groups wanting me to run so will advise if my schedule changes.

But sure keep me informed if something changes, maybe i can shift up or down by a couple of hours.

Ah because I've been meaning to run an idea I had for Rifts Vampires.  I posted about it a while back but real life, etc.  It's just basically on the level of Vampire Hunter OCCs.  Probably without player MD races though (Dragons, etc.)  Every time I allow RCCs things tend to get out of hand.  Ali B. said: Rifts is a bit overpowered for my taste and I'd never ask anyone to wake up at 5am but thanks for even contemplating it.

All of my available games start at 10:30PM CST.  Which is about 6:30AM GMT+3.  One is Tuesday and the other is Wednesday.  Both are TMNT/Robotech with smatterings of Beyond and other 1e Palladium systems.  Wednesday would be best for newer players.  Tuesday is for more experienced players due to the length of the campaign already.  But I dont think anyone really wants to be up that early to game.
Thanks Rerednaw & Greek. I could maybe swing a game into a 8-midnight slot on Monday’s or possibly Wednesday’s, though it might require a roll with punch/fall due to my better half.
I run at TMNT ATB but can tweak any OCC from HU, ATB, TMNT, and even Rifts because everything is converted into SDC.  I have a couple of homebrew rules which balance out the game.  This campaign has been going on its 3rd year.  I run it like a TV show so they are about to start season 4, and the PCs that become too powerful become NPCs.  For example, the 1st season computer hacking mouse is now Director of Intelligence for the Animal Free States and gives out missions to the new PCs.   Games are on Sunday nights at 5 pm MST if you are interested please PM me.
I dont see it as a overpowered or under powered issue. Its Whether theres good rp involved. Case in point the Excaliber (1st version original macross not trying to go this book or that.) (as long as its got ammo and some mdc.) can basically tear almost anything else in the books at ranges upto 40 miles. And hold its own against most things in rifts. (Especially if you have two crew.). Yes impervious to energy makes a lot of its fire power useless but not all. (auto cannons and grenade launchers.). Its not about trying to balance this or that. its about finding a good group of players. I've ran high powered games and (arguably) under powered game's. Its possible to run any of them long term. you just need to balance combat, roleplaying opportunities, and good stories. it's not you against the players its all of you making a game/story/epic/etc.
