With MechaStellar VER11 releasing late in August, we have finished conversions for all the classic Super Robots from VER10 to include favorites like Mazinger, Getter and Combattler / Voltes V. Additionally, by popular request we’ve also updated all the G Gundam profiles from VER10 to VER11. We’ve been posting previews daily.
Also the Solo / Co-Op campaign packs for MechaStellar have been converted to VER11!
You can find the update rules and profile sheets on the MechaStellar game downloads page.
As we mentioned before, Rules updates are now on a 6 month schedule, that way players can master the game without having to worry up minor rules tweaks each month. That said, please keep giving us feedback so we can add it into the 6 month update. Here’s the VER11 After Action feedback form: https://forms.gle/aszwjLG1S2fs1wSQA
For this month’s update we have a few format tweaks, weapon balance updates, as well as an expanded pilot upgrade system. See below for a summary of updates.
