Mechwarrior

This is a roleplaying game attached to the Battletech universe. In this game the players would be Mech pilots working as freelance or mercenary company members. There would be little Battletech combat.

Ideas

Mechs are rare, so just being owners of them makes the players in demand. This will make politics important. Which jobs the players choose will have an impact on the setting. Who the players hire for NPC help will be important. Interpersonal and out of mech interactions will be very important. Characters may frequently be engaged in combat outside of their mechs. Intrigue will be common.

Themes

Who can you trust?

How much is morality worth when you can hardly afford to live?
