Well, Mechaton isn't science fiction by that standard, either. But it is shaping up to be a darned good game and, equally important to obsessives like myself, reasonably plausible militarily.

Anyway, your mech's one-die yellow attachment can be a micro-drone dispenser-controller as easily as a big targeting scope. "The game mechanics are the same, you just describe the effect differently"—heck, haven't roleplayers been doing this since CHAMPIONS?
