The Battletech franchise has two current-ish systems:

The very crunchy "Mechwarrior" series has been replaced by A Time of War.

A more narrative system has been added, called Destiny.

I see Mothership in the OP. I've played the Another Bug Hunt module with my crew, and it's very fun. It's dangerous and creepy.
