A Lancer Tactics update day is a good day! Something I've thought about for a while, since the AI tag was mentioned in this post: is there currently any plans for the NHP equipments to make them more "character-like"? I figure a dedicated mission creator can already make it so you have different dialogues in between missions if you have a NHP equipped with the tools we already have, but I'm just curious if there is any plan to make them feel less like another system and more like people living in your mech?

We’re not sure how yet, but yeah I totally agree it’d be nice to show them as characters. My vague direction would be to do something like the Hades companion abilities in-combat… but scripting conversations in downtime gets complicated fast because you have to be able to handle the range of no NHPs to each player mech is a clown car. Hard to write a story with that much variability.
