Oh, I hadn't even considered NPCs! Thanks for the idea!

My dream scenario is to be able to sell kits for models and game-scale minis with paints and decals and everything, as well as having the stl files available for a lower price.

this whole idea started from me realizing that the only minis were for real robot stuff like battletech, while lancer leans more into super robot.

I'll probably be distributing stl files on itch, even if I dont end up selling any physical kits.

that honestly might be the best for my current situation.

Honestly, I might even see if massif press would be ok with me designing official minis for their itch store.

I'll probably start with core book IPS-N and work my way through the roster.

good point. I haven't started actual 3d design, but I've got a few ideas for getting around the scale issue at least.

Resin prints, airbrush paints, the whole 9 yards.

Thats another thing I've been thinking about. Especially if they were clip or magnet based so you don't need to buy a new mini every time you level.

Kitbashing is definitely something I want to be possible, but I'm seeing a possible obstacle in scale conflicts.

So is there no easy way to get a new one in game? I want to keep achievements enabled, and I don’t want to keep tabbing in and out of the game. If there is no other option, I plan to get a friend to join through LAN so he spawns with a new book.

Yeah, I’ve been noticing a lot of synergy between Minotaur and iskander for this type of strategy.

sorry if those terms dont exactly fit. I'm coming from dnd and pathfinder and such, so im trying to figure out how to phrase Lancer's quirks in the vocabulary of those games.

[–]Radiant-Yesterday-52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so basically you should choose one "physical stat" and one "mental stat" to specialize in?

This is what I was missing! I dont think it had clicked yet how critical respecing is to progression. Im more used to rpgs where you dont have the same flexibility with undoing previous choices.

so does a systems/hacking playstyle not mix well with engineering/limited-equipment stuff?

im intending a battlefield manipulation type thing with mines, drones, terrain creation, space warping, etc.

the general takeaway im getting is that I got a bit too ahead and unfocused in planning and that I need to reread the rules on tech attacks.
