I hope a publisher picks this up. It sounds sceptical, but it seems to be the only way indie projects like this, no matter how polished, get success.

As for FJ's cpmments about how effective they are. True, they're probably not worth the resources, but these are militias with entire planets at their disposal. Compare how they play in-game with how they act in the FMVs and there's not a huge difference. Apply modern warfare principles and you'd undoubtely never see two mechs meet - long range missiles from aircraft would put them on their arses long before they met each other, much like modern armour is edging towards today. Doesn't make for a great game though, and I'm happy to suspend enough realism to believe that mech combat is feasible if it makes a game I want to play. After all, the most popular games all do it.
