What you do

Fight from the cockpit

The legs walk one way, the torso aims another. Watch your heat, pick your fire groups and take a leg off before it takes yours. Arms, legs, core and cockpit each take their own damage.

Command the lance

Drop with up to four mechs. Open tactical and the fight pauses: give orders, set formations, read the fire lines, then take the stick again.

Fit every mech

Drag weapons, heat sinks, armor and sensors into the slots. Sidegrades, not tiers: every fit trades something away. Legendary modules come only from salvage, and rarely.

Take the contract

Elimination, escort, recovery, assault, defense. Weigh the pay against the deadline and the days of travel. Miss the deadline and it costs you.

Hire the pilots

You are the company, not the pilot. Hire them, promote them, watch them learn. They get hurt. Some of them don't come back.

Work the Bubble

Twelve real stars within a dozen light years of Earth. Corporations own them, their wars move on their own, and your reputation follows you from one to the next.

Damage stays. So does the bill.

The mech comes home the way the fight left it: armor stripped, structure cracked, a weapon gone with the arm it was on. Repairs cost credits and days on the calendar. Salvage pays some of it back.

106 modules across six families, each with its own trade-off in heat, weight, range and ammunition.
