Hi there, I recently talked with you on Reddit about this game. I am going to play it solo and wondered about the number of PC's needed. The rules just say that a group is needed, but it would seem difficult to do well as a solo for a kaiju drive and possibly an encounter with a large or behemoth with just 1 PC. I could of course play some sort of "specops" type missions by myself, but wanted to try the kaiju drive first.
The second question is regarding the reference to "kaiju riding" in some of the mech specs. Is this some sort ability that allows the mech to jump on the back of a kaiju? I'm not sure how this would be used with domesticated kaiju as they're about the same size as our mechs. I could see it being used against large or behemoth wild kaiju though.
