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??
Yes, it is intended. The Dao has a limited time to accomplish a sitrep objective so the drone printing has more value the earlier in the fight it is done. The drones use Grit as the flat modifier to the d20 ranged attack like a PC, their deal is the difficulty on enemy targets which stacks with Impaired. Each use of the full action "Print Subaltern Drone" creates a new subaltern which can then move into cover as needed, whether it's the soft cover from the Dao or hard cover on the board.
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.

Ah I see, the answer is greatly appreciated, I think it's a bit broken the way I run my combat section, as they usually last 7-8 rounds.
the core integrated equipment on the Jian, doesn't display on Comp/Con
