MechWar (RPG)

Everyone fights for them. Orange crystals are capable of accumulating any energy; they invite it in and don't give it away to anyone. Violet crystals, on the other hand, give away all their energy by creating their own kind. Only a crystal can release energy from an orange crystal. Violet is often used in alchemy, for example for living blood.

There are several types of mechs: gasoline, neuro-mechs, crystalline and nuclear.

gasoline

The most common type of homemade bellows, they constantly require fuel to operate and have no obvious disadvantages.

neuro-mechs

These are mechs grown from a unique solution of living blood (90% purple crystals, 9% orange, and 1% human blood). An artificial circulatory system is attached to the mech's frame, and it grows throughout the mech, creating bones and flesh. People armor the already fleshed mechs and use illegal and highly dangerous neural cables to control the organic mech's brain. These mechs have 100% accuracy but require incredible willpower; pilots of these mechs often go insane or suffer lifelong psychological trauma.

crystal

Mechs use pure orange crystals as batteries. Because of the ability of orange crystals to absorb any energy, if the mech is severely damaged, it will be transferred to the crystal. The mech will greatly increase its speed, but will most likely explode soon, as the crystal cannot hold that much energy.

nuclear

Mechs with advanced crystals, a special system in their core will prevent explosions. They can also be overheated, making the mech significantly faster but losing accuracy.

Those who don't have interstellar ships use stations. On many planets, there are special containers that will take you and everything in the container for a fee. These stations follow a specific route and act as mini-towns consisting of their own industrial zone and a small residential area. Every day of using your container costs money.

Enormous (from 12 to 350 meters and above), armored vehicles most often used by mercenaries. Many 'Mechs are made by Mega Corporations, but many mercenaries build their own. Although they perform much worse and stall occasionally, their final price is five times cheaper than even the cheapest used 'Mechs from non-Corporations.

conflicting

The most productive and best for making money, they are the subject of constant competition, and a huge number of corporations are ready to give you contracts for which they will pay generously. But on such planets, there is no logistics whatsoever. Mercenaries kill other mercenaries and rip off their spare parts, after which they sell the used parts in terrible condition for three times the price.

industrial

Huge factories the size of a planet, they have very few contracts, but at every turn you can buy parts or a whole mech in perfect condition, even for a reasonable price if you look for it

residential

planets that are filled to the brim with people, the best infrastructure for ordinary life, but not for a mercenary

pirated

Neutral planets, they can be completely random. It could be anarchy where everyone is ready to kill everyone else, or it could be a planet-sized black market.
