Your mech has 20 points to start with, choose a # of points per "item"
Default chassis has no equipment, no armour, no Boosters
You can choose what the shape of your Mech is, be it humanoid, spiderlike, or something else. [feel free to provide images]
- make sure to say if your Mech has hands or not.
- If you want to have a transforming Mech try to have a semi-realistic transformation, eg: bipedal mech that drops onto all fours in order to use a back mounted sniper cannon. [Being able to Tansform costs no points, but generally adds no direct advantage over not being able to do so]

the things you can spend points on:
-Boosters - Allows flight, you can also GroundSlide if you have boosters, this is slower than flying but has the advantage of being on the ground and thus extra stability.
-Jump Jets - Allows jumping/dodging, slower than Boosters for distance speed, but better for short bursts of speed/dodging.
-Musculature - represents run speed, physical strength, and melee agility all in one. [Running is generally slower than GroundSliding but has its own advantages]
-Armour - protects against all attacks, more points: more armour.
-Energy Shields - Provides protection against inbound weapons fire, regenerate at a constant but slow rate, two types, Barrier, and Field.
Barriers will stop attacks completely assuming it has the energy to do so.
Fields will reduce the power of attacks that hit the Mech, assuming it has the energy to do so. [damage reduction amount is based on Fields level]
-Weapons - Energy or conventional, [melee weapons are allowed] name the ammo type if the weapon uses ammo [specify percentages of ammo if you want multiple types], all different types of weapon will have their own drawbacks, eg: Sniper Cannons are high power low ammo/firerate. [Energy weapons will either overheat, need to recharge after firing, or suffer from damage drop-off over range]
--Single Shot Weaponry - You may choose to have single shot weapons [usually missiles] such a weapon will either pack a serious punch or have some other advantage over a weapon with lots of ammo.
--Handheld Weapons - Ammo fed handheld weapons will need to be reloaded after using so many rounds, but have their own advantages over internal ones.
-Systems - Will either add to rolls or add entirely new abilities, eg: Advanced Sensors, Booster Overdrive, etc. Make sure to say what sort of effect you want the system to have.
--note: just saying "Anti-Missile System" is not decriptive enough, using that as an example An "Anti-Missile System" could be a Jamming device, flares, or Point Defense Weaponry, and each would behave differently. [Point Defense Weaponry would require you to have a weapon to use for the Point Defense, as well as a System specialised for Point Defense, the others would just need the system]

You must specify where the mechs cockpit, weapons and systems are mounted [Locational damage allocation is in use, so if you want to put everything in your Mechs Torso you can do that, making its limbs expendable, but damage to the Torso would be more of a threat]
- The Mechs Reactor is always mounted in its chest [any reactor associated systems will also be mounted in the chest]
- Boosters are located on the Mechs torso primarily [generally booster related systems will also be torso mounted]
- Jump Jets are distributed between the Mechs legs and back [Jump Jet related systems will be mounted in the Legs/Back]
- Energy Shields are mounted next to the Reactor so any Shielding associated systems will be mounted in the chest with them

The more points spent on an "item" the better it is, but may still be outperformed in some areas EG: a 4 point Machinegun is better than a 3 point Sniper Cannon in most situations

If you want to have more of your armour in a specific location then say so.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the mech creation process.

Also you have a character that is the pilot of the Mech, be as in-detail about their description as you feel is needed.
-You are a mercenary, not some supergenius 13 year old who built a mech out of scrap.
-If You wish to have any "character traits" that add to your rolls etc. I will add a negative that will balance things out, eg: "Brawler: +1 to melee" could be balanced by "Shaky Hands: -1 to ranged"

Khorosho: Player faction, a group of Mercenaries.
Cyclic Plasma Injection System Unit [CPIS Unit]: Mechs powered by a CPIS, only known ones are in the Hands of Khorosho.
Armament Fortress [AF]: A giant mobile weapon, heavily armed and just as well armoured, were the main weapon of war in the Old World, but are now extremely rare in the Post War era.
The City: a city that be it by merit of fortunate placement avoided the worst of the devastation caused by The Great war, currently led by a man only known as "Uncle"
The Great War: the war that led to the devastation of most of the world, times before this are referred to as being in the "Old World" and after as in the "Post War era"
Pushka: The AF that Khorosho are based on, when it was found its main weapons array was virtally a pile of scrap metal, only one of the Six cannons colud be salvaged, it still has most of its armour intact, but its weaponry albeit devastating is rather poor for an AF.
Neural Tracker [NT]: A type of light Mech named after the revolutionary, at the time Neural Control system which allowed the user to operate the Mech like it was an extension of their body, this technology is now in use in all moderm Mechs.
Master Arms Unit [MAU]: Based on the NT the MAU is a more advanced Mech made from modular components, this allows for fast repairs and relatively simple customisation.
Reavers: the name given to bands of murderers, slavers, bandits and the like, more than likely to try and kill you and take anything you are carrying as soon as they see you.
1st Generation MAU: The earliest MAUs, have fusion reactors for power, severely restricted in their usage of energy weapons.
2nd Generation MAU: The most common MAUs, use pulse generators for power.
3rd Generation MAU: The most up-to date/experimental MAUs, use experimental generators, highly powerful.

M1c3 Medium Tank A generic Tank, armed with a single Cannon.
CA T-Stork: A bipedal NT with no arms or seperate head, has a single chin-mounted Machinegun.
CA T-Egret: A bipedal NT with no arms or seperate head, has a Rifle mounted on either side of its body.
CA T-Dodo: A bipedal NT with no arms or seperate head, has a Grenade launcher mounted in its torso, as well as tough armour for a NT.
IWM01 Club-l: A bipedal MAU, an early design that is considered rather poor by modern standards.
IWM02 Axe-e: A variant of the Club designed to be easier to operate, has Gatling guns in place of arms.
IWM03 Hammer: The final 1st Generation MAU manufactured by International Weaponry, an overall improvement on the Club.
#FURTHER DATA PENDING#

The <S:#> after a weapon denotes its maximum number of shots per turn, if it has +R:# then you may "rapid fire" the weapon for that many extra shots.
"Rapid-firing" a weapon has a chance to make it jam, jammed weapons are inoperable for one turn. If you rapid-fire more than once then the chance of jamming increases.

Repeatedly firing on the same target with the same weapon slightly increases that weapons accuracy until you fire on another target.

Weapons with multiple ammo types must first switch to the ammo type they wish to use. [virtually instantaneous]

Weapons, like Railguns with [UNCHARGED] by them must spend one turn charging before you can fire [charge stays for a few turns]

Heat/Charges: these increase/decrease when the weapon is used and decrease/increase when not in use.

Artillery weapons target everything within a radius of the "main target", and get more accurate the more targets within that radius.

If a weapon is "heavy" or "quasi-heavy" marked as <H> / <QH> in your charsheet then it is subject to special rules.
"Heavy" weapons can't be fired if you have moved, because they need bracing/etc.
"Quasi-Heavy" weapons suffer negative accuracy if you have moved, varying on speed of movement and just how heavy the weapon is.

You can fire as many weapons at once as you want, there are slight negative modifiers if you combine different types of weapon [missiles don't cause [extra] negatives though]

You can fire on multiple targets in a single turn, but this will cause negative modifiers, which increase the further apart you two [or more] targets are.

When taking a large amount of damage in one hit you are staggered, this temporarily lowers accuracy/speed next turn as you recover from the hit, bigger hits cause more stagger.
Superior musculature makes you more resistant to stagger, and having more armour also makes you harder to stagger.
Certain weapons also increase the strength of the stagger they cause as an innate effect.
