What you find bland, I find unified and easy to implement. Even mecha combat would be easy to run! That is a first for me.
I was the same. I have been disappointed that no one had taken the character focussed (yet traditional) style of rules from the likes of WoD and applied it into a mecha game. They tended to either be heavily tactical or extremely light. CTech was a great mix with a rule system that balances detail with ease of play well.
