Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

[nobodez]

I love the new chapter, and love that you've returned to this story, however brief or long it may be.

Never. If the confed knew she made a bio weapon that could kill a entire race they would never let her out of a birdcage again with everything she does carefully watched.

TBF. She didn't make it she realized the potential, and immediately was scared of it, to the point of destroying the sample. Honestly the bigger thing for them would be figuring out and worrying about where the hell a sample of alien nanotech that could do that even came from. Because it has to come from somewhere, and while Sophia decided not to use it that way, the original owners might.

With the her newly padded CP account, I hope the MC picks up some non-scientific perks. Preferably something to do with self-defense or counter intelligence. I'm sure there's some black box type perks around. Or something to stop her getting assassinated / kidnapped. Something that gives her more political / societal ability too…

Oho, this is back! No alien abduction this time around?

I didn't entirely hate it, but it was admittedly a bit sudden, and just when she was ramping up a bit

I do think removing her from the confederation eventually was at its core a good idea though, or else she just steamrolls everyone with a whole government apparatus behind her, would be interesting to see her be forced to work in less ideal circumstances and pick forge stuff that she needs to survive rather than what allows her to best minmax her situation

She does have a pretty big surplus of points though, so she's likely to be well equipped no matter what ends up happening

Also I'd honestly be more expectant of lesbian shipping if this was SV, site's kinda notorious for it lmao

Hell yeah, psyched to see a chapter of this! Hope to see more in the near future.

Looking at what the Interstellar Wars Source Book lists, she could have also given them the Word of Blake's Void Signature System and Mimetic Armor. Especially since she could probably fit the Void Sig. onto tanks and stuff and the Mimetic Armor is already used in Battle Armor. Also she could give them PPCs given that the lightest Particle weapon is like 200 tons. That's not even mentioning Gauss Weapons which I didn't see anything about.

YES YES YES, hell yes my favourite fanfic is back, did a full reread and cannot wait for more.

I cannot wait until she breaks out the jump 9/KF and draw up plans for olympus like recharge station that would break everythimg EVEN MOAR.

also the basic Battletech war machines like PAL, Battle armor and super tough BT armor, no mechs tho

Hopefully, Confed High Command hurries up and puts a black box on both Nusku and Procyon, from what I remember the Imperium feints in Procyon then rushes through Nusku with most of the Confed fleet heading to Procyon, I dont kow if the black box works while in hyper, but heres hoping the counterattacking fleet gets delayed enough for Procyon to tell Terra that its a distraction.

Hell, even if the Procyon attack is real they could get wiped out by being jumped by a full response fleet a full week earlier than what they were expecting

Huh... interesting. This is back. So I take it the next thing that is researched is going to be the faster then light engine design that takes from local and battletech to allow them to travel 4 and 1/2 times as far as the current best drives? I expect you might also be considering looking at the heat pump tech from battletech as well. The a little to just delete heat like that from a system consistently is... interesting and like something you can blend with local designs for a similar effect to the engine. Then of course you will have the ability to enhance the power generation...

You know... I don't remember seeing anything about power armor in the local setting being mentioned. I know in battle tech it was based off of exo suit designs for space flight and I think logistical exo suits as well. So maybe introducing some viable invisible power armor from battletech with the whole ftl travel and comms allowing Terra to deep raid into the borders in a spy like manner. Eh glad to see this is back though!

The first power armor were spec force stealth sneak suits that also happened to give some protection from mech scale weapons. And for some damn fool reason never reconfigured into a line suit that would have vastly improved infantry performance and survivability. Proper power armor was created from underwater mining suits much later by the clans.

As for Sophia with what she has on hand why could she not research a 3 or 4 parsec drive and work up to a kf drive? A 3 or 4 drive could fit in their current ships and still be a vast improvement and strategic asset.

Mech bias and the Mother Doctrine reared its ugly head.

Plus not even the Star League/Terran Hegemony wanted to shell out the funds to give their infantry anything good to use when said funds could go for more warships/mobile oppression palaces, battlemechs and mega-scale engineering projects.
