Newcomer at the scene and need some help.
So i am a huge fan of RPG and mechas in general and when i found out that it's inspired by Votoms i just could not grab It.
But i am confused on what should i get, i did some research and so far everybody has recommended the 2nd Edition of the game and apparently the 1st edition is 100% compatible with it, i have money to burn and i am going to buy all of the 2e books, what 1e books should i get to complete it?

Wip in Progress of the last batch of models for the year. The winter slowdown has kicked in now and free time are now disappearing. The lot will be worked on over the next month or so. Also a shot of the side project for next year. RAFM Strike Cheetah and a pair of Klemm. These are planned to be used in generic 15mm games (even if they are bit bigger than 15mm, more like 18mm). Will need to acquire a few more gears and some infantry first along with deciding on what ruleset we are going with.

Lore question
For Heavy Gear, I'm curious: in what book I would find information about the space-navy capabilities for both the CEF and the independent worlds like Terra Nova? Jovian Chronicles was of course very Fleet oriented, but other than the Terrans hitting a few cities from orbit, I cant find any details on what (if any) combat space assets the different factions have?
Are space battles common? Rare? Is the Terran fleet mostly just to transport its armies? Do the Terra Novans have any kind of space forces to defend the planet? Or any of the other resisting planets?
What book or books would I need to get these details?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Is there a One Pilot Strider?
Does Terra Novans had access to a single pilot Strider which is not a Strider Gear hybrid?

Is there a database or communication service for in-person games?
I live in San Antonio and I know there is a smaller community in Houston, but I'm sure there are players sprinkled around. Anyone know of a discord or page for meeting for games?
