    The document discusses recommendations for a roleplaying game system for a space mercenary campaign involving human vs human combat with technology like power armor, mechs, cloaking devices and robots. Several users recommend the Traveller RPG for its focus on space mercenaries and flexibility. Others suggest Stars Without Number for its old-school rules and randomly generated missions, or Uncharted Worlds for its fast, cinematic and streamlined rules.

    Acerca do Reddit I'd give a hearty recommendation for Traveller.

    Stars Without Number with the Starvation Cheap supplement seems to mostly fit the bill. It
    uses OSR rules which aren't exactly intuitive but if you've played dnd it will at least be
    comfortable. The supplement also has a bunch of tables for randomly generating missions.

    Maybe Traveller or GURPS. Both are great. I'd lean Traveller since it's more specific.

    Another idea is FFG's Star Wars system. Age of Rebellion or Edge of the Empire would be
    able to simulate mercenary companies and will have droids to massacre.

    You have described Traveller, just add the robots once you grasp the rules, it's very easy...

    I highly recommend Uncharted Worlds. I used it to run a short campaign earlier this year. It's
    the most beautifully streamlined rpg that is fast and flexible to play.

    It uses a variation of the Apocalypse World engine (The Sprawl and Dungeon World are
    great examples of that as well). You can learn all that you need to know in 12 minutes using
    the videos at the end of this comment.

    Combat is very fast, resolving whole encounters in one or two rolls. You don't handle things
    blow by blow (The combat video explains it better than I will here).

    You can run combats that work like movies. Take the escape from the Deathstar in StarWars:
    A New Hope. The heroes are running through a huge facility and have many brief
    encounters with stormtroopers. Since each run in with the enemies is resolved in a single
    roll, you can have huge sprawling and cinematic combats.

    The equipment system is beautifully simple. Weapons have tags that determine their
    properties, which is all you need for the fast paced combat. Look at the downloadable
    pregen characters for some great examples.

    Here are some videos that explain the game brilliantly:

    detail for this game.

    Although it doesn't meet a good chunk of your requirements, I'm just going to throw in a
    mention for 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars.

    Traveler or Stars Without Number would be great they both have tons of source material for
    this.

    As I'm old school (because back then, it was the only school around), I would suggest
    2300AD. Or, of course, MechWarrior. For two very different campaigns, of course.

    I suppose the old Robotech RPG from Palladium or The Regiment: Colonial Marines might
    be worth having a peek at.
