Edit: I thought I wasn't sure what to describe next but then I reviewed and saw I hadn't described challenges yet. Well then.
I like it! I've been working on a very different Lancer hack on and off for a while and I could definitely see incorporating this or similar ideas.
Fun fact: the lancer game I'm in right now is running in the "glorious solar server" originally spun up for my Exalted game that's currently on hiatus.
Edit: "Ketchup Carjack already knows you're coming and can still kick your entire ass." made me cackle.
