Steven W. said: The main drawback to Robotech is that - if you're a standard pilot - you'll still have all your piloting skills, but few mecha can operate in a vacuum. Eventually, if you get into combat, or even just use it in general, wear & tear is gonna accumlate. You'll either need to find and hook up with an engineer or society that has the technological means and resources to tend to big Veritech-like mecha, like the Triax corporation, in order to get fuel, repairs, and tune-ups for your mech... Alternatively, you might be able to play a Zentraedi character, as there are a number of breeds of giant running about the world and you'd likely just be mistaken as a member of such a species. True wont lie, but that's also half the fun of game. I got something big and cool but downside its a choice on how often to use it and then also find ways to maintain it like you said. I don't expect anything handed to me on silver platter. So that forces me to make contacts with corps and be on friendly terms with people and save and spend money wisely. All good RP in game.
