Astro Cross: Flashback 1942 (was naming alien ships)

"Tip of the spear, my boy. Oh yes, tip... of the spear."
Ahem.

Makes sense; the mechs can break most opposition, but are limited in numbers and can only be in one or two places at once, while the conventional forces can usually take care of themselves and spread out to hold ground in the wake of the walkers.

And yeah, running on fusion turbines would make a hell of a difference.

Hmm.

So, let's see.

Randomly generated missions would include 'escort bomber formation', 'strike strategic asset', 'attack ground formation', 'attack VF base'...

I feel like a lone walker would be a mid-boss level fight. Definitely enough to roast you if you make a mistake, but not... unmanageable, while enemy VFs would be a straight up even fight, while conventional units would be 'Yay, I get to rampage.'

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
