    Show of hands. Who’s seen “in the pale Moonlight”?

    I get to conquer the Federation (SW and ST Crossover/SI)

    Is this a reference to Khan Victorious?

    Understanding Does Not Presage Peace (Naruto, Insert)

    This has the same vibes as when Superman got serious in Superman vs the Elite.

    Quest Deep Periphery Quest (Battletech Sandbox Empire Builder)

    didn't Sunhawk say that the leadership of the bourbons and the Rogues Noir were secretly collaborating with each other?

    [X] Approve - Make sure the NRR and NRI have a good liaison system set up with each other as well as us.

    Quest Deep Periphery Quest (Battletech Sandbox Empire Builder)

    They sound like the Organic Drones I brainstormed for a hypothetical alliance of the Word of Blake and Society. Here’s their description. —— The term 'organic drone' was both intended to dehumanize the whole process to make it more palatable and those involved consider it more accurate term...

    Quest Deep Periphery Quest (Battletech Sandbox Empire Builder)

    [X] Sign the Military-Industrial Reform Act of 3041 A Military-Industrial Complex dominated by only a few mega-corporations will end up becoming overspecialized, and if that happens, as Ghost In The Shell Points out, you breed in weakness. It's slow death. Also, It’s 3041 now?

    Quest Deep Periphery Quest (Battletech Sandbox Empire Builder)

    If it turns out that some of the Rogues Noir are in collusion with some of the Bourbons, I think the evidence should allow for some interesting political impacts down the line. Also [X] Request assistance from Kilburrough Something about the description of those diseases makes me think about...

    Battletech Story Brainstorming

    What if the The Dark Age happened after the Jihad in as a final gesture of spite towards their enemies by the Word of Blake , the instigators of the Jihad, rather than during the Republic of the Sphere era in canon BattleTech and resulted in the destruction of 80% of HPG communications networks...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    BTW, what would you call this new interstellar government composed of Endwar/Modern Earth and the Wolverines? I’d go with the United Federation of Nations, because I’m a fan of the Templin Institute.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    How about improving Dropship Collars so that they only mass a fourth of their original size while still being able to carry a Dropship? Or maybe speeding up the recharge process? Or having LF Batteries be integral to the Jump Drive instead of taking up an additional 1% mass?

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Initially they’ll disregard them as merely periphery neobarbarians boasting above their station. If the Successor States try to drag the Clancies into their Zero-Sum Game, I’m betting the Clancies would state “The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play.” I’d want the Explorer Corps to be the one to...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Especially if some cultural assimilation leads to actually democratic governments instead of various flavors of Romantic Military Autocracy.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    They’d assimilate the Morgan Valkyriate and the Oberon Confederation at least, though they’d also do some colonization and expansion of their own.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    I was thinking they’d be in the Mahan Cluster as depicted on this map (Under the R of Inner). Over time, they’d expand and assimilate the various polities on the north of the Inner Sphere. Laserheads use a nuclear warhead to power a crude but extremely powerful X-ray or Gamma-ray laser. Due...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Well then, Let me make a proposal of my own, to see if I can make Honor Harrington-style Missile Pods in BattleTech. MISSILE POD CONSTRUCTION Step 1: Select the number and type of launchers in a Missile Pod. The only acceptable launchers are Barracuda, White Shark, and Killer Whale. Missile...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    One of the things people will have to keep in mind about Clancyverse war technological research and development is that they’re neither limited by a shortage of researchers and infrastructure like the Inner Sphere nor Warriors not wanting to ruin their way of life like the Clans. The Clans took...

    How does this look for a more balkanized Inner Sphere? https://www.deviantart.com/lazurez/art/Battletech-Fractured-Sphere-Labeled-903552339 The Terran Free Republic (TFR) formed in the wake of the Terran Alliance (TA) collapse following the Outer Reaches Rebellion. When House Cameron formed...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    If the Clancies are going to be different, one of the things they should have is massed combat vehicle formations, with mechs forming a supporting role, like the Hells Horses. They don't think Mechs are inherently superior to massed combat vehicles. Plus, if a general is being engaged in combat...
