It's difficult but I've always wanted to attempt it so this is my shot at it. For starters which system to use as the base? DnD, Starwars Saga Edition or D20 Modern/Future/Past? Nausicaa, for those unfamiliar, requires excessive use of large Airships, Smaller Gunships, Gliders, Tanks, Mounted Combat, Ranged Combat with Firearms, Lots of Melee Combat with Swords, Giant Insects, a Poisonous Mutant Jungle, Enormous Walking Nukes, Psychic Powers and other weirdity. Suggestions? (I will post ideas as I've been working on them)

It isn't that bad and it can handle everything you mentioned without bending over backwards. http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/animesrd.html You can easily combine it with mechanics from d20 Past/Modern/Future if you don't find it adequate. Large Airships, Smaller Gunships, Gliders, Tanks, Covered! (Use this: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~rismith/Mecha/srd/index.html ) Mounted Combat, Ranged Combat with Firearms, Lots of Melee Combat with Swords Covered by the basics. Giant Insects, a Poisonous Mutant Jungle, You'll have to make your own monsters here. Playtest first because the CR can end up higher than traditional D&D calculations. Enormous Walking Nukes, Very covered! Even simplified rules for blowing up buildings, cities, and planets. Psychic Powers and other weirdity. Take a good look at the Attributes section. Telekinesis, Telepathy, Mind Control, Flight, and Force Field come to mind, and you can cover the rest with the Magic attribute and Special Attack.
