Yes, but it's food for thought.

It should be noted that 2.5 million tons is the limit of the shipyards... so having a ship of more than 2.5 million tons is possible if you've got the shipyards to do it. The thing is, the factions in-setting has no reason to go any larger (as bigger shipyards mean bigger targets). However...

Space hex rules, from what I remember. ... Ok, this is because I've been playing with MegaMekLab, but... from what I gather for space, it isn't exactly the case. The funny thing about how things turned out is that when I was playing with various ships' heat sinks, their damage potential...

Any small laser, MG, or anti-personnel gauss can be used as PD weapons, as long as heat and ammo considerations allow. Note that the MG (and later small lasers) in this configuration is what led to the AMS system. In addition to this, on any spaceframe, you can use standard weapons (basically...

Only in the context of a (conventional) computer field that didn't hit the 'roof' of Moore's Law. We're already starting to hit Moore's Law's roof with solid-state computer systems; we're getting to the point where quantum mechanics are starting to interfere with the capabilities of our chips...

Yeah, the Mechanoids are no-go in general.

You know what, I've got a crazy idea for a BT fic. So, the basic idea is to fuse (most of) Nexus: The Jupiter Incident with BT. Noah Colony was an old Terran Haegemony colony group that suffered a misjump, leading to the discovery of an N:TJI wormhole and a pristine garden world that the...

Here's the thing, the Successor Houses had practically nuked the entire Inner Sphere back into the steam age. Twice. That's how bad the first two succession wars are. ComStar was actually properly paranoid that, once the Helm Core was distributed and the industry reestablished, the Successor...

Yeah, people like that only came into power after a few coups too. Prevent those coups, then you'll have what is essentially The Foundation...

From what I understand, the 'Space Jihadists' were always there, just a minor faction until they went Japan Impearlists on the 'Foundationists' within ComStar. To give you an idea, Imperial Japan had two factions, and by WW2 the Imperialists won the power struggles of the 1920s and 1930s via a...

The thing is, ComStar didn't become the WoB we know and love until several coups later. If, say, the 'Realists'/'Foundationists' -i.e. those that stayed true to Blake's wishes/read the Foundation series and decided to work along similar lines- then half the shit that happened in canon never happens.
