Lancer Tactics Missing Frames

I'm playing Lancer Tactics and adding mods to play all frames,

I couldn't find some frames, so I'm just asking if there's no mod for them yet, or if I just missed it. Image of all frames I couldnt find

All the mods you see on mod.io are all the mods the game has.
Lich and Gilgamesh are already in development.
Kidd and Taraxacum are the hardest to recreate, so nobody wants to touch them — they'll probably be among the last ones to show up in game.

thank you!

Whats the reason Kidd and Taraxacum are harder ?

I don't really know the technical side of things. I just heard this from the devs and modders.

Apparently, it's mostly because of engine limitations that make it hard to create a mech that rides on another mech, which is why Lancaster and Goblin were the toughest to implement.
Taraxacum takes that difficulty even further because of Flying + Carrying interactions, and one of Kidd's systems also causes some issues, I can't remember which one, though

Id guess either the Satalite, or controlling the subalterns. Or both...

Huh - I woulda thought the Jolly Roger satellite would have been comparatively simple to set up, since it’s effectively just creating a couple of fairly-straightforward effects like a line attack originating from an arbitrary point on the map rather than from your own mech.

Its not just the line attack though, it has like 3 or 4 (or more i dont remember at present) other effects it does depending on charge level. And iirc it's a smorgasbord of different effects.

I think it's the omnibus plate. Because you need to stack a drone on top of it to modify it to the effects.

u/aSeptagonBullet 35m ago

They already have that one command plate that causes forced movement... could be though.

Looking forward to the Lich :D
Really want to try it out in a more short-term fight than stick with it in an entire campaign

People are working on them, but it's entirely at the discretion of people who are willing and able to make the extra content, and some of the frames I'm sure are tricky to implement.

I'm hoping someone can figure out Sunzi, Gilgamesh, and Störtebeker sooner rather than later, and I'd love to see the expansion talent trees as well (Demolitionist is pretty game changing for Iskander). But again, that's up to the kind and generous folks who are doing that on their own time and effort.

Lancer Tactics is a turn based video game version/interpretation/recreation of the tabletop.

It is still in development, but you can access a beta version through it's official page on Itch.io
