The Content Manager in COMP/CON allows you to upload Lancer Content Packs, also known as LCP or .lcp files, into COMP/CON which will allow you to use additional content beyond the free version of the LANCER core rulebook.

This content can include the official LANCER core rulebook NPC data, or custom content from official or community expansion modules including new frames, weapons, pilot skills, and so forth. Some of the .lcp files are freely available, and others must be purchased to gain access. Regardless, if you have the .lcp file, you can install it into COMP/CON for your use.

IMPORTANT Please do not ask for non-free .lcp files. Support creators by purchasing their content!

NOTE You may want to check the .lcp files you have before sharing them with players for expansions that have new custom frames or player content, as some content that may be spoilers for players could be included in the .lcp. Test it on your own COMP/CON setup to see what content it adds first! As a player, you can usually avoid these spoilers under the Options in COMP/CON by making sure "Show Exotic items in the Compendium" is disabled.
