I was going to use mechs of one kind or another, I just didn't put anything in this post because I thought it was pretty long already, I have a few ideas though. Mainly I was thinking of something similar to lost planet. There will be some military mechs but they are rare because Earth wasn't expecting to need many of them so most of the mechs the group would come across will probably be meant for construction or exploration that were jury rigged with various weapons. The scouting team that is sent to the planet will probably have a couple military mechs now that Earth knows there is a threat present and the rest will be meant for exploration and recon.

ohhhh, cool =D So, basically, kinda like in lost planet 3... They used Rigs, which were indeed mechs designed for construction and mining, though they didn't 'weaponize them' per se, They did set up ways to use it's mining tools in a fight without actually making them 'weapony'... of course, a militarily weaponized version makes an appearance as a boss at one point and you have to beat it... The 'cards' for the game also showed a 'vital suit' but the game itself never actually had one, which sucks because those are 'awesome'!

The scouting team is certainly going to need an engineer =D If nobody else has jumped on that I'd love to be one, i like being engineer XD!
