With MechaStellar VER11 released we have been hard at work updating profiles to the latest VER. Last month we did Super Robots and G Gundam. For the November update we have added in a large number of units from Zeta Gundam updating all the AEUG profiles to VER11. We’ve also added in Gundam X to the AU profiles. And we’ve updated Jaegers and Kaijus from Pacific Rim to VER11.

We’ve been posting previews daily.

We’ve also added in dozens of Kaiju for various Super Robot shows and updated the Core Rules to streamline Triggers and clarify Long Range vs Close Range Attacks. This is a very important blog post so please take the time to read through it. Thank you!!!

MechaStellar VER11 Core Rules – Simple Triggers Update

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
