The Baronic Defense Forces (BDF) PDF
A downloadable third party expansion
This third-party expansion for Lancer: the Mech RPG is a homebrew mech corporation based in the Karrakin Trade Baronies features 10 mechs and their unique gear and Core Bonuses. Baronic Defense Forces frames emphasize positional control, combined arms, and reactions, rewarding Lancer battle system mastery.
Pierce the heart of enemy formations with the dextrous AKRAFENA; weave through fire as the self-cooling SHOTEL; survive impossible scouting missions as the KAMPILAN; hold the line with the JIAN's experimental grenades; reinforce the line as the printer-equipped DAO; intercept enemy fire yourself as the KIEM; call in fire support from above as the AKINAKA; be the fire support as the stalwart KHANDA, a dedicated heavy gunner; rip the line in half as the KLEWANG, a repurposed cargo loader; and coordinate a NHP firing line as the CHAMBI, a mountain of an artillery duelist.
Included in the downloads are a rules PDF for reference, a companion Lancer Content Pack file for COMP/CON, and presized tokens for use with popular virtual tabletop software.

I have some question about the Dao, would appreciate if you can answer it. Is it intended for that thing to continuously print out an infinite source of Drone that can move and attack every turn? But the attack use GRIT, so it kinda never hit anything at all? So you just spend a full action to gain a burst 2 soft cover??
the core integrated equipment on the Jian, doesn't display on Comp/Con
Thanks for the report - this is a display quirk of COMP/CON. As of the 1.0.7.1 LCP, the Compendium / License selection won't show the integrated Coin Grenade System, and the Mech Hangar will. The Compendium entry for the frame has a "PASSIVE - INTEGRATED SYSTEM NOTIFICATION" box to indicate the Jian comes with a System that shows up in the Mech Hangar when building a new mech. The Coin Grenades show in the mech systems with the "Scattered Coins" action containing the ability text. When COMP/CON v3 becomes active, the LCP will get a pass to see if it can display more intuitively.
