I agree that it wouldn't be a quick thing...unless Comstar found Earth first...in which case...well, it'd be interesting.

I think you're on the right track here. Earth (Not BTs Terra) is a garden world with LOADS of pre-existing infrastructure that can readily adapt to new technologies the BT'verse provides. The hard part is going to be keeping Comstar/WOB from either taking over or forcefully removing Earth's...

Well, that's wildly exaggerated. I freely admit that FASAnomics is THE artificial template that makes 'Knights Riding Mechs' the common way that planets trade hands in the Innersphere prior to the clans. As for your production statement...really, that's just laughable. RCTs (Regimental...

@Bear Ribs 1. Tom Holland as Grayson...I'm almost sold on this. I'm trying to think of an alternate actor I know of that would be better. Haven't yet. 2. You're choice on Lori Kalmar fits well. 👍 3. Mark Hamill could become an inspired choice for something like this. I just don't know if he's...

All of this is wrong for Battletech. A 'round' in an AC can account for a single shot weapon system OR a rapid fire AC that pumps out a dozen or more shells at a time. The variance is simply by manufacture, but IN GAME they have the same characteristics by class of AC. ALSO please note that...

I'm great on Battletech till you get to the Dark Ages...I kinda washed my hands of it b/c it was so full of stupid pills I couldn't take it. Best bet would be to find digital copies of the dark age fiction prior to the black out.

Or just ignore the whole sphere and focus on a small portion if you want it broken up that much.

and POSSIBLY the Taurian/FS stupidity...but there's still hundreds of years to make that happen!

I'm pretty sure you just butterflied Comstar away.

Umm...IS collapses in hysteria...governments enact martial law...some fall due to levels of stupidity...depending on the damage done to the DC, it either fragments or leadership brings it together into a tighter core. Everyone scrambles for any Minbari salvage to try and figure out what they...

The death of Comstar as a political faction, and the privatization of HPG tech and operation. May have to add to it the failure of the Star League to overwhelm the Periphery States, or even a failure to try.

Ummm...no, they weren't. Comstar's biggest problem is that they believe they are the only one's capable of having a good idea. ANYTHING outside of that has been stolen, blown up or assassinated. The Successor States themselves were the ones to pull back from wholesale slaughter. That's why...

This just made my eye twitch, but I'm headed to bed and will respond in more detail tomorrow.

That implies that the Star League is actually benefitial to Humanity...the Periphery nations would disagree with this, and, likely, so would most of the Houses.

No ground armor in Battletech is capable of resisting nukes unless we're talking about a heavily fortified bunker. Warships can to a degree. That strength is mitigates by the absolute disaster that is Battletech targeting systems. I doubt more than 0.1% of fire from a BTech warship will...

I'm in favor of pre-Civil War as well now that I think about it. Citadel space can steal roll the Innersphere if it's not unified. They have a ginormous military advantage in space and possibly on ground as well (depends on how well you rank Mechs vs personal Shields and rail guns for...

😂

I thought ME was pretty much without FTL except for the relays.
