    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...

    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...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Does this mean all of the Clans will invade with concerted effort instead of the half-assed one of OTL?

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Are there going to be any hard limits on what advances will be made? For instance, Renegade Legion Artificial Gravity? Edit: I have the feeling things will play out similar to what happened in your idea on SB.com where the Spirit of Fire found the Clans. Only since the Wolverines aren’t a...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    I was thinking of taking a page out of Death By Chains/Trace Coburn's Virginia War Series and having the Minnesota Tribe find the ISOTed circa 2828. This Way, they have time to assimilated, advance, and expand before taking a more active role in the Inner Sphere around the early 31st Century.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Sorry, which Rip-Off are you talking about? Candle In the Dark? The Growing Horizons Quest by Warringer? The Coming Storm On FF.net? Yeah, that would be interesting. Especially if the ISOTed world helps the Minnesota Tribe come up with a better governance system than the Star League, which...

    Tom Clancy's Endwar Earth ISOT to BattleTech.

    Would BattleTech exist as a fictional IP on EndWar Earth, or would the Clancies be in the dark about the situation? That’s the most important question you need to answer First.
