@Suzu@MercurialBlack@s8n i am currently tits deep in trying to make a competing CAD tool for the hero system. i compared it with gurps and it seems to be less insane. but thats also because i like that we can just do pacific drive or helldivers and just build sheets for it.
i have no issue conceptually with running lancer. i did offer it to my group. with the caveat that it has rules, so they will need to put in the homework, as "i only put in as much time as i'm at the table" won't fly with rules heavy systems
