GURPS [Mecha]? - Page 2

Hey, are we going to see a system similar to [Spaceships] that handles mecha and maybe battle suits? I dunno I was looking over the setting in the old 3e GURPS mecha, and I think it's pretty neat, but I have no 'idea' how to design mech's like the Panzer (the cycle which is 'far' lower them SM+4 to my mind), even the Deathstryker comes in at like 4.3 yards tall. The other mecha in the setting seem to conform to what you can put together in spaceships. 25 feet, 30 feet, etc.

But it's the battlesuits like the Vandal and the Dark Angel and the nearly human sized Panzer mecha that leave me wondering how to put something like that together?

What's the standard way to do battlesuits and 9-15 foot mecha now without Spaceships since spaceships kinda breaks down below SM+4?

Anyone have any ideas? =)
