Some random designs for a space superiority mecha force. Vaguely inspired by Soviet military and space tech.

The one on the left is a high performance Boutique line of machines. They have an easy time being tuned to any specific mission profile. The machine is very dangerous to operate for an unprepared pilot. Thanks to the massive acceleration and relatively limited armor the machine requires skill and endurance to be used to its full potential. Some pilots get light augmentation to aid in the resistance to G forces.

The design on the right is a mass produced multi role design. However it is limited by its relatively high weight and low acceleration due to less powerful thrusters. Don’t let that fool you though it is still incredibly deadly when used properly. The machine is frequently fielded in sets of 3. It is also capable of interfacing with held weapons which are generally a missile system of some kind. The machine also hosts a large and quite powerful suite of sensors allowing it to be a viable forward scout especially when equipped with EWACs systems that includes a laser transmitter for super focused secure comm link.

The Empire Strikes Back is on and they're sieging Hoth and I'm reminded of how people complained about why the Empire doesn't just slag planets with Star Destroyers, even though the second and possibly most popular movie has a scene where one (1) antiorbital weapon disables a whole Star Destroyer in seconds.

And no one can imagine a planet that's not just an ice ball that's supposed to suggest "Nobody lives here", and is, in fact, lined with fifty of those things across a continent. Even a hundred.

"Siege it with Star Destroyers", you're adorable.

Space Warfare is a 2016 homebrew shooter for the Atari 2600, created by AskewTV and shared through the AtariAge community. It is a modern homebrew release rather than an original commercial game from the console’s active years, and it should not be confused with Atari’s Space War from 1978.

The game has a very simple premise: enemy rockets have entered your mothership, and you have to fight them off in a classic Atari-style shooting setup. The action is basic and easy to understand, with the player moving, shooting, avoiding threats, and trying to survive inside the ship.

As a game, it is modest in scope. There is no elaborate structure, no large set of modes, and not much variety beyond the central shooting loop. It feels like a small homebrew project built around a straightforward idea, which makes it more interesting as an obscure Atari 2600 release than as a major shooter.

For the record, I reached 1,000 points and then intentionally lost the only life the game gives you. That probably says something about the experience: it is playable and clear enough, but once the basic loop has been seen, there is not much left to push the player forward.

For anyone documenting the modern Atari 2600 homebrew scene, Space Warfare is worth noting because of how little-known it is. It is simple, limited, and very direct, but it also shows how the system continued to attract small independent projects long after its original commercial life had ended.

The grunts down on Europa think we have it easy up here in the big black. They've never been on a cruiser, have they? You can freeze-dry just as easy up here, but at least there, heat is life. Up here, heat kills you as fast as cold.

I boarded an SIA ship yesterday, we'd killed them with a radiator hit a month ago and just made rendezvous to collect any spares we could. They'd all cooked in the heat from their power reactors before they could SCRAM.

It's ironic though. They had spare radiator couplings that'll fit our ship. Now we won't cook up here along with them, at least not in the next few years. Unless our luck turns.
