hmmmm maybe have the wolverines only have found earth fairly recently....say 3000 or so. so by the 4th SW Earth is getting to a position to start making more advanced stuff like dropships and jumpships

hmmm any idea on what the minnesota tribe has in terms of numbers or hardware? We know that the wolverine's mckenna ended up in the hands of the WOB in OTL and that their Texas wasn't suitable for long term service without a full HMS Belfast style rebuild to her keel

Doesn't really fit in with the scrappy underdogs with great future potential vibe though

the good news is that the Capellans have Sun shaped problems and not very many available forces

if you can call what three or four jumps close

Or getting the cash and influence to buy those from say Defiance or Earthwerks

On another note I wonder how long it takes Earth to procure the tech to start making BT grade AFVs in terms of weapons and armor at the very least.

As I recall there are offical figures for the value of the C-bill. Also given its a 1000 years in the future I imagine the vintage gatling gun probably is worth a lot more than it would be today

on another note isn't the C-bill worth a lot in comparison to the dollar?

Of course the industry of our planet would need to massively expand to be competitive in certain areas. The electronics industry might make a lot of high end stuff but compared to the demand all of BT would want for it ....yeah. Still I suppose between Asteroid mining and fusion power you...

I have one. I wonder what all the decently high end stuff Earth can make can buy it on the wider Periphery and Inner Sphere Markets.

They can and do but the charge rate is normally roughly the same as sails unless you want to risk a misjump especially on older less well maintained Jumpships. And the whole solar sails don't need any money in the form of wear and tear and fuel to use

Moreso due to everyone not liking WMDs at all in this era due to the whole entire worlds dying the last time they got used. There's no formal agreement in place anymore but everyone follows the Ares Conventions for the most part for practical reasons like not ending interstellar civilization.

Errr no one in Battletech does that. Hell they don't even use Rods from God.
