GURPS [Mecha]?

I'm not familiar with the stuff from GURPS Mecha, but I do know that Spaceships is (and was designed to be) a very simplistic system. The granularity necessary for the goodies and add-ons you're looking for might be below Spaceships level of resolution (which in general is below the default GURPS level of resolution). You might end up needing to pick-and-choose more complicated stuff from VDS and find a way to integrate it into the simplistic Spaceships design. Who knows, maybe after VDS comes out there will be a Pyramid article giving advice on how to do this (and/or some "VDS-to-Spaceships conversion" threads).

Of course, stuff about mechas does tend to show up around here with some regularity. There could be a market for a dedicated 4e GURPS Mecha (beyond what was covered in the new Spaceships and what will be covered in VDS).
