It would be a full setting, with many factions and conflicts. It would be whatever you want it to be. Want to go into military adventures? Well, you could write about battles between the Combines, or perhaps between the Combined Fleet and various Outsiders. Or maybe Condotta mercenary companies...

ill give it a look

Chaos-like entities actually exist in Stellaris and you can bargain with them.

In my basic concept there arent really alot star nations per se. Much of known space is ruled as colonies under the domination of vast joint stock conglomerates known as combines similar to the British East Company under charters granting them monopolies. These corporations are owned by...

We have a similar conception, but I base it on the gravity well. More mass, more gravity, more turbulence, and the further away you need to be to exit hyperspace. I like the idea of a fleet spending a month to get to its destination star then another couple of weeks to get to its destination...

japan isnt a nascent police state like the anglophone world is becoming, so they dont have a vast cybersecurity apparatus that was built to spy on its own population yet.

Naw. Basically Hyperspace is full of gravity currents. You enter into hyperspace, and use the currents to speed up travel from system to system. These currents and vortices shift and change according to events in the universe. Since mass creates gravity, large gravity wells create more extreme...

you dont win by giving your enemy a loaded gun. they law wont be applied evenly and fairly..you know this.

To take it from you. Thats how they conquer cultural territory..they make it gay or stick women in it.

I just use the term IP. Its just a 'verse we can create and mess with. Not hard. No harder than say, Battletech. the 'science' exists only to serve the setting. Its interstellar. There will be a form of FTL *between* systems, with sublight travel inside of systems. I am adapting the idea of...

We have all watched the destruction of our own favorite verses, fandoms and media franchises from so-called 'wokeness', over commercialisation and other bullshit. I think its high time for us to start creating something of our own. Why waste time with IPs owned and written by people who hate...

What i liked about warhammer was precisely that it was humans vs inhuman monsters and space gods in a battle where the chances of ultimate victory was slim. Bringing back primarchs changes that dynamic.

yup. And because the novels were so profitable they are trying to turn the main setting into horus heresy II, complete with primarchs. The heresy and the primarchs should have stayed in the past.

in general i have found it wise to freeze my headcanon at 2006, before the first of the horus heresy novels began to consume the setting

Alexis de tocqueville predicted exactly what liberal democracy would become over 150 years ago in the chapter "What sort of Despotism Democracies have to fear" from his book "Democracy in America" He predicted it would destroy or capture all competing institutions, atomise the population then...

someone doesnt understand attrition warfare or the concept of an unstable equilibrium

I watched the video twice, the day it came out and when it was posted up. My comment is directed at people who think "well man, if only the ukrainians were using them as intended", when in fact they could not be used 'as intended', because that would make them all drone, mine and artillery fodder.

Well when you consider all the people who 1) think the soviets didnt use combined arms, when Deep Operations was all about combined arms and 2) That the Ukrainians have to withdraw the abrams because they 'werent using them right' when it is in fact impossible for them to be used in some mass...

Thats the proper way to employ them in the ukrainian context. The idea you are going to use these mass combined arms formations w/o air superiority against an enemy that is superior in firepower is crazy.
