[MS] – Balance Update

As we’ve been tweaking certain rules we also like to examine the interactions between units to verify there’s still a healthy balance for the different models released. While MechaStellar uses a d10 system which has more variance than a d6, we always strive to keep units from being to extreme where they can dodge on 2+ for instance, or never be hurt in Melee since that wouldn’t be very fun from a gameplay perspective. In this post we’ll go a bit more in depth on the rationale for the forthcoming changes.

[MS] – Mission Pack Release – Pacific Rim

As promised the narrative style Mission Pack for Pacific Rim has been released this Sunday. This mission pack follows the events of the movie from Hong Kong till the finale and features Leatherback, Otachi, Scunner, Raiju and Slattern. The mission pack is put together as a “What if” scenario to allow you to attempt to alter the events. You can deploy different Jaegers to defend the harbor and if you perform well you may even save a few of the Jaegers and their pilots from a grisly fate.

If you have any issues with the mission pack or have any questions please drop us a note. Thanks!

[MS] Unit Roster Update 22OCT21

Poster by Kevin Tong (Mondo)

This week’s update is Pacific Rim which will give you more units to use with the new “Defend The City / Rampage” game type.  If you’ve never seen Pacific Rim it’s a very fun and well directed movie by Guillermo del Toro starring giant robots called “Jaegers” and their two synchronized pilots who defend Earth from giant monsters called Kaiju that come through a breach between worlds under the Pacific Ocean.  If you’re a fan of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla then this movie should be right up your alley.  Here’s an example scene from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLptjP1RKmQ
