BTSD The Reboot?!
« on: August 09, 2020, 02:28:07 PM »
Well I've been thinking over the last couple of days what a reboot of this project would look like.

Touring the Stars Rigil Kent got me going on this tangent.

Would anyone be interested though?

There would be a lot of things to incorporate from the Year of the Star League.

I'd have to look at what forces stay with the Last Cameron or depart with Kerensky on the Exodus.

What would you guys like to see??

Mainly Rigil Kent's situation following the Amaris Coup. I was thinking how well that Project Phoenix and the Rim Protectorate might solve the reign of terror that follows the liberation. Collaborators could be exiled to the Rim much like House Amaris was (the first Amaris' running from accusations of assassination attempts of the Camerons) as supplies from the Periphery flow back to Terra helping it repair.

I need to read it.

The 'terror' or reprisals against Amaris collaborators that followed the liberation is spelled out in many post Year of the Star League works. Essentially political acts of vengeance and a lack of central authority killed the Hegemony. With BTSD we have the Last Cameron so central authority isn't a problem but these reprisals would remain unless quislings were deported to the Rim Protectorate as part of Project Phoenix. I think this would work and be a nice addition to Project Phoenix as Amaris loyalists are exiled like the first scion of his House were so long ago. The angle just hit me with Rigil Kent.

I think you should leave it alone.  It's a snapshot in time; be proud and let it stand.

I though about this and there is a lot of stuff we did that was not published (particularly Threat Assesment 2785  AFFC) that is totallycontradicted by the current canon material.  I'm not sure you could reboot this without a total re-write of everything.

Yeah your right about that Irose. TRO 2800 would need to be seriously cut or revised and there are some things that I like better.

TRO2800 would need to be revised- and I think we had a better handle on fleets.  All of the Periphery stuff I did would have to be revised to make them more powerful (really- they gave the TC and MOC things they should not have- like lots of warships.).

I'd be discouraged to have to try and rework all of this.

FM Periphery 2812 is another great tome which we planned and you did a lion share of the work on only not to get it done which really makes me sad. Some real great stuff!

The Mercenary Guild would need a bunch of work too.

I have to say that I felt like you Irose right up until Touring the Star Rigil Kent then something snapped.

Still we'd have to deal with smaller warship fleets and everything canon that came along which is a bunch of work!

Daunting.....

Absolutely, which is why I am considering it. Especially a revised Mercenary Guild which could benefit from those interested in fleshing out their unit names submitted for the 1st Succession War book. ;)

But I already wrote up Mary’s Little LAMs. 

I’m kind of upset about FM:P but I keep mining it for other projects.  Actually I have another TDF project I amworking if I have time.

I look forward to seeing that Irose.

Time might be the ultimate decider here as well. Seems to be less and less of it today. Hard to focus in and finish up everything we want to.
