MechaStellar VER10 Preview – Unit Profile Comparison

Here’s a really quick post showing the difference between a VER9 and VER10 profile. For this we have the AC Guy and the Zock, two of Zeon’s more unusual amphibious units. On top we have the VER10 profile and on bottom the VER9 profile. At the bottom of the post we have a PDF which should be full resolution, since the images can be a bit grainy when fit into the blog format.

The first thing I’m really happy to point out is that the profiles in general are larger and easier to read. VER9 cut down on the pages for the unit roster by being able to fit 6 profiles on one page, prior to this in VER8 and before mecha profiles were entirely horizontal and usually about 4 per page, but when we switched to VER9, the double sided layout allowed for a lot more room.

Still a frequent observance we’ve had from players is that occasionally some things can be too small. With VER10 we wanted to move back to 4 profiles per page while sticking to double sided. This way if you print out a page you can easily fold in half vertically or horizontally and have two profiles visible. Very handy, if you are only running a couple units on that page.

Moving down to 4 profiles, as well as removing a lot of the build-stats which are irrelevant to combat gave us more room to work with and increase several of the rows and columns in size making things a bit larger. Doing the layout editing it’s also a lot easier having more room for mech and weapon names without have to abbreviate as much.
