I'm planning on, sometime in the future, running a mecha game loosely
based on the Super Robot Wars series of games (which is to say, take
any giant robot you want, throw it in there, and fight the evil
robots). I haven't decided on a system yet, though I'm leaning
towards FATE; the aspects seem an interesting way to model different
robots' advantages and disadvantages without getting into the minutiae
of something like the Hero system. I also want to have two basic
'phases' of play: the battle phase, where the pilots are out in their
robots kicking butt, and the social phase, where the pilots are
dealing with their relationship webs (Pilot A is rivals with Pilot B,
who's in love with Pilot C, who's friends with Support Character D,
who's the little sister of Pilot A...)
Naturally, I'm doing some research, and I've asked over on the
rec.arts.anime side of things for anime recommendations, but I figured
I'd ask here for system recommendations. What systems and sourcebooks
would you recommend I look at, either to run the game in or as a
source for Good Ideas to swipe for my own use?
