Mecha RPG adapted from Lancer tabletop · By
In base Lancer, if you have Rapid Burst Jump Jets and Ace 2 (Afterburners), you can boost, fly during your boost, and that's enough flight to count for Afterburners, while that doesn't work in Lancer Tactics, you need to already be flying in order for it to count (so you need Type-1/ATMS/Dusk Wing). I'm not sure if this is a bug, I could see it being a differing interpretation, so was curious.
It’s on my radar – the holdup has been that I haven’t been sure at what point we want to roll the die and spend the heat, ie at what point are we expecting Ace 2 to trigger?
I’m currently leaning #1, but it’s going to be awkward either way.
Maybe this isn't the best idea, but perhaps Afterburners could go in the action list at the bottom, as a free action that's only available while you count as flying? And activating RBJJ makes you count as flying when you first activate it, ending when you move as per usual? At least it might help with the possibility of accidentally activating then not using the ability since you can preview your flight distance from RBJJ like normal before choosing to activate Afterburners. Idk, just a suggestion, but again I'm not sure how well it would work out so take it with a grain of salt ^-^
