What do you need?

Always interested, could you be a bit more specific though?

I see plenty of design possibilities and even a spot for new technologies which I have suggestions for but.....

What is our setting....the Jihad?? I see the Word of Blake so it is just an assumption.

What is the date (3067?) and circumstances behind the project (opening stages of the Jihad?)? Or is it a little after say before Stone's Liberation??

Are we following canon or departing for parts unknown??

Ugh.  Can't put more than one attachment on, and this is just faster.  Next;

I had a New Clans concept myself which was a concept fostered by the secret sibkos of the Jade Falcons and the story of Aidan Pryde. My version had my hero, George Kerensky, die in much the same way as Aidan Pryde during Homeworld fighting (a subject not covered by canon) during the Refusal War. Basically a secret effort to safeguard the Clan Way in the most benevolent fashion possible an Exodus is begun as the old Wolves fight a rear guard action saving this new legacy of Kerensky. I had new Clans envisioned, etc.…. Never really finished the concept but there it is.

Some new tech ideas we've had over the years and some new ones....

Mech Reclassification (Minis 5, 10, 15, 20 / Lights 25, 30, 35, 40 / Mediums 45, 50, 55, 60 / Heavy 65, 70, 75, 80 / Assault 85, 90, 95, 100)
Large LAMs (up to 80 tons)
Dual Engine Mechs (two separate smaller power plants increasing overall performance in a variety of ways)
Bomber Craft (small craft designed specifically as strategic bombers)
Naval Pulse Lasers (capital scale pulse weapons to help swat pesky fighters)
Triple Heat Sinks
Small, Medium, and Large Flamers
Small and Medium Blazers
Autocannon/15s

Haha some of that tech I remember us coming up with 30 years ago lol

I know, right?

God, that makes me feel old.

Ok, I see a couple crazy people, so I'll start work on a framework for the designs and some background to explain it.

Might take a freaking week, though.

So just got a chance to go through all the other documents.

I suggest fleshing out the new tech you are having available before any designs being done.

Another suggestion is more of the new tech instead of what the clans did with improved tech. Perhaps having them only having Gauss Tech so no ACs but have Light / Regular / Heavy Gauss. Don't need to have all entirely new stuff that never came out in canon but instead using what came out in the 3060+ era coming to out to them much earlier.

That's basically done, its been an on-going project since I met my wife; its our 20-year anniversary this year.   I do have at least one new one; substituting SRMs for LRMs in RLs.

Its kind of involved, but; as part of the Trial of Annihilation, the survivors made it to the IS, then some of them went back to become Burrocks/Dark Caste.  So, spies, basically.  The Burrock/Dark Caste funneled Clan tech to them, and the NC makes some, but about a third of them are so poor they use Primitives and vehicles exclusively.

Anyway, the WoB/Pythons/Civil Gov't make a pact; WoB gets a production base to conquer the IS, Pythons get to conquer the NC, CG gets their worlds back (for a day or two).  WoB provides the tech and elite forces, Pythons and CG provide the basic facilities and regular or garrison forces.

But, I have the first vehicle done (converted one of my old ones, actually.  I think I might need to ask Knightmare for a topic.
