Mekton Zeta mech building help

[daniel_ream]

A question about building mechas. I noticed there were different forms available and it affected their land MA. If you use thrusters of greater value then your land MA, what advantages would these other forms have?

It depends on what the Flight MA represent. In the full MTS, you have to choose Ground Effect, Hydrojets, Thrusters or Gravitics, each of which has their own quirks and limitations. The obvious one for thrusters is they require fuel, but that assumes your setting tracks that or cares. It's basically fluff considerations.

I will caution you not to expect the MTS to give you combat-balanced or cost-effective designs; it doesn't. It's intended to give you gameable stats for the props in a roleplaying game, not act as a unit constructor for a wargame.
