MechaStellar DEC 2024 Roster Update

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone,

We have been hard at work to prepare a large December update along with a balance patch.  We have a large expansion of the VER10 unit roster, updates to the Core Rules regarding Morale rules, Commander’s orders, and a new tier of pilots, the “Battle-Tested Pilot” which is in between a basic pilot and a skilled pilot in power and VP cost.  Lastly, we’ve put in the midnight oil this last week and updated the first half of the MechaStellar Wargaming supplement.  This document adds in the Objective Secured gametype as well a large expansion of the upgrade rules for MechaStellar. 

You can find the VER10 rules here (https://mechastellar.com/ver10-drafts/). Keep reading below the break.

MechaStellar VER10 Preview – Weapons

In our previous post we talked about a lot of the feedback we’ve got from playtesters in VER10 and the steps we’re taking to resolve some of the current issues. We also had a novel request to have Barrage affect the dice roll in the same way that Bullseye currently affects the die roll. Our proposed solution was to allow Bullseye to give +2d10 Shots when used, but in order to do that we’d have to rebalance the current weapons to ensure that the majority of weapons were less than 8d10 to take advantage of this request. We’ve finished up the weapon rebalance and wanted to share a few Dev insights when it came to this weapon rebalance.

MechaStellar Roster Update – July 2024 – Gundam Sentinel

Hope everyone’s having a great summer, it’s been a very busy one for us! For this month’s MechaStellar roster update we are featuring Gundam Sentinel, a sidestory set in the Zeta era. A fan favorite story, it features mass-produced Zeta and ZZ Gundams as well as the all new Superior (S) Gundam, it was also the launching point for legendary mecha designer Hajime Katoki (and you’ll see many concepts in Sentinel made their way into Katoki’s designs in 0083).

MechaStellar VER10 Preview – Attack Action Example

In this preview we’ll be using a Zaku II and a GM. In MechaStellar VER10 the attacker can roll multiple hits that each deal damage, the Defender can roll multiple defenses (DEF) that each negate an incoming hit. Any leftover hits are called “unblocked hits”.

While dodging a hit isn’t necessarily “blocking” a hit, it tends to roll off the tongue a bit nicer than “unavoided hits”. If unblocked hits boggles the syntax center in your cerebral cortex go ahead and call them “undefended hits” instead =)

In VER10 all the bonuses a Mobile Suit would get from its Frame, Performance and Combat Role have been moved to be in line with a units weapons. So when you look down the line of a weapon you’ll see Bonus Hits (and bonus DEF in its Defensive profile) which comes directly from the Mobile Suit. So even with the same exact weapons, the more advanced suit will have an edge.

MechaStellar Monthly Roster Update – June 2024 – Might Gaine

Hello everyone,

Another quick month has gone by, hope everyone is enjoying their summer. For this month we are adding another Braves series to the roster, The Brave Express Might Gaine. This is the 4th show in the Braves (Yuusha) series and this one set the blueprint for the ever popular GaoGaiGar. You can read more about Might Gaine and the remaining Braves Series in our “Where to start” post here.

Might Gaine has a very broad and often wacky Rogues Gallery, while you can find kits for Might Gaine, Hiryuu and Gouryuu for some of the other models you’ll have to be creative and use a Samurai for Shogun Mifune, or a Penguin for Louise Vuitton’s Snooby. We’ve also included the Black Noir army from the end of the series, the X model shares a similar silhouette to the humble Zaku II when it comes to using a proxy.

We’re also continuing to do updates to the Gundam Roster. This month adds another 16 units to the Zeta / ZZ / Gundam Sentinel roster. Next month we’ll have the Ex-S Gundam as well as the New Desides, splinter faction of the Titans.

Summary of Updates

  • 14 New units added to the Braves (Yuusha) roster
  • 16 Units added to the Zeta / ZZ / Gundam Sentinel roster

MechaStellar Monthly Roster Update March 2024

For this month’s update we are delivering the 2nd half of the Zeta Gundam update by including all the mobile suits in seen in the second half of the show for both the Titans and New Zeon factions.  We’ve also added in a decent chunk of the Zeta Mobile Suit Variations (Z-MSV) and will continue to add in those and other side stories in the future.
