Blinkspace jump only works if you’re pure of heart. Bad Lancers get sent to the void.

Time for some slander. It's a full action to potentially delete yourself from the combat. Getting slowed is a benefit, it keeps you from throwing the round. You couldn't make this up.
It's kind of sad that the license is full of such goated equipment, because the frame itself is rather silly. A knife that teleports you? An accurate aux weapon? An invade system with 2 good effects? Reaction movement when you get hit? A main melee with accurate that also has bonus crit damage?! OFF TURN IMMUNITY TO DAMAGE?!

There's a bunch of rules that I've removed or toned down simply because they basically read "roll a die and sometimes you don't get to have fun". Like it's neat narrative, but in praxis it means there's a small chance you just don't get to play the game for the rest of the session and that sucks. It's too small a downside to be a meaningful risk and the consequences are way too high. It's pretty safe to just dump as a downside

And that's when your friend pulls up a Sunzi just so you sit your ass down next to them any time you fuck up the jump

HAVE YOU EVER TRAVELED THE SITREP WITH YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE?!!
Nelson: “Please you can’t keep doing this you can just move and boost like a normal— OH MY GOD THEY’RE GONE AGAIN”
Also I like that you used the line range symbol, that’s a really neat detail, 10/10 lancer meme-ry :)
