[Mecha Crusade] Balancing assistance needed

[Psyckosama]

One important item missing from the Mecha Crusade is information designed to help balance the Mecha with normal creatures, like those from the Monster Manual or the d20 Modern rulebook. They are balanced with each other, but when you bring in critters from other sources, it kinda bottoms out. For combat situations this is a major problem.

While Mecha Crusade is a Mecha based setting, not all GMs are going to do all Mecha all the time. How many EXP points do you give to a person in a Mecha for wiping out an infantry platoon, or for slaying a Dragon.

As it clearly states, a man in a Mecha could rip a man on foot in half. Mecha pilots gain massive bonuses to strength, HP, armor class, Hardness, and their weapons require the proverbial “Bucket ‘o’ Dice”

I’m about to use Mecha Crusade as a component in a campaign I am going to run. I would be highly appreciate if anyone would give me ideas, or even better yet, if anyone who has played it (Player or DM) could give me advice.

PLEASE respond.

At the end of the Mecha Crusade article it explicitly states that the game was designed WITHOUT balancing of MM creatures. They say game testing and guessing are the only way to tell.

Why not start a thread for people who have done this testing so they can post the results of their findings?

I know that now... I kinda mised it before.... and IMHO his excuse was weak as a new born kitten. If you can ballance a gold dragon to fit damn near any campaigne, why can't you ballance gian robot combat? -_-'''

You can balance a gold dragon into a low-level campaign?

I'd like to see your result when trying to make giant-like Zentraedi and outfit them with mechas of their own.
