From a preliminary readthrough, this looks aces overall. I like the use of damage mods +d6 vs. other pilots; I think that's a pretty elegant solution to the issue of pilot weapon damage.

At this time, the only thing that stood out to me as immediately odd was how most hardsuits besides the GMS and IPS-N (and maybe the HORUS) ones seem pretty useless due to, among other things, the lack of HP bonuses without ED/EV increases or other compensation. One example of this is the STAMBHA Overarmor. It gives +0 armor, +0 HP, 10/10 defenses, 4 speed, assisted, and +1 difficulty against ranged attacks targeting you if you stay still. This exchanges +3 HP for assisted and a potential -1D over the GMS light hardsuit. Assisted is potentially quite good, though probably mostly for the range on the Heavy Sig (due to the lost damage from loading dropping its damage below the other options) unless you're going into melee (in which case it's hard to stand still, and you'll probably really want extra HP). If you really want that heavy slot, then the GMS assault hardsuit exchanges 2 EV/ED and the -1D for +1 armor and +3 HP, which is probably worthwhile both at range (where you can compensate for the malus by using cover; another -1D on top of heavy cover gives diminishing returns) and in melee (where you've got higher odds of taking small-arms fire, where the armor and HP both do work.

Basically, all-in-all, the hardsuits that don't give HP seem to be, generally, lacking compensation for it. HORUS's hardsuits are odd, since armor doesn't do as much when you don't have enough HP to take more than one or two hits anyway. (And also because, for the Void, I thought pilots couldn't be targeted by tech attacks anyway?) It feels odd that HA doesn't have many tools for tanking (besides the Buckler), and for SSC the Panoply seems possibly great, since speed is especially useful when it's hard to increase and you won't be boosting often if you want to attack, but the Overcoat doesn't do much of anything in combat (which is only odd because all other options do have in-combat effects; if these were all more narrative bonuses then I'd be aces with it).

For weapons: is it meant that you need to find a way to increase the Peacekeeper's limited charges before you can use its special ability, since each shot consumes a charge? Also, the Wink-gun seems like it could be an Upgrade, since it's flavored as a hidden weapon that only has one shot (it having heavy is also odd in light of that, more so because no HORUS hardsuits have the assisted trait).

Also, when you overcharge as a pilot, do you take energy damage? If you overcharge multiple times (via ICEPACK  and Juice both used in one scene), do you take 1 Energy and then 1d3 Energy?

Also, is Brawl meant to only be useable against other pilots, or can you target mechs with it? If so, someone in DURENDAL can put out respectable damage against mechs, attacking for 2d3+1 as a quick action. That isn't a ton, but it's a lot more than most of the other options available to pilots.

Overall, this looks rad! I think you've done a fantastic job of expanding the pilot combat rules into something that actually looks useable, and I love how you've used and updated so many of the cut pilot gear options.

Hi! I hope this project is still being worked on. Me and my group recently started to get into Lancer, and atleast two of us are really interested in fighting outside of our mechs, so these rules and equipment are awesome! Cant wait to see what comes next with it, and if itll gain a LCP, and thank you for your work!

Hello Seventh Seal.

My group is been playing Lancer for a while and with Bleeding Hussars the campaing now is more like traveller or cyberpunk with mechs which is great.

I like to ask are Bleeding Hussars still in development?

Hi! A bit of a rules question, but I saw in the rule changes PDF that all pilots by default have sensor 0, unless they have equipment that adds sensors. However, I'm looking at the equipment, and there doesn't seem to be any gear that adds sensors? A quick CTRL+F gives the following items that affect sensors:
HORUS WILD_N_CRAZY // As I read this, I interpret this as affecting only your mech's sensor range, and thus is irrelevant to the pilot's sensor range.
HORUS Nanite Spray // While it does state that you can "Draw Sensors", the number is vague, and I interpreted this as saying "You draw sensors equals to your pilot's sensor range". However, as your default sensor range is 0, you can't really draw anything.

Is this an oversight? Or is there something I'm missing from my initial reading of these rules? Thanks in advance!
