So trothkin, are we excited about this or worried?
Will the Raven still be around?
Will we still be in the Alliance or have become the ilClan?

I personally hope that we have either resettled or reconquered portions of the old Outworlds Alliance.

I wouldn't have a problem with that, as long as we still exist i'll be happy.

One thing I've learned about games is that you do not want to skip that part. Sure, the RA will still be around, but we won't be the ilClan for damn sure. People just don't owe us that many favors.  Anywho, in regards to having reclaimed parts of the old OA, that should be a goal, not something we want to start out with, or else we run into the storyline problem of "Hey those damn Ravens took our worlds! Let's get em back!" So, plotwise we want to be the attackers upcoming, not defenders..., cuase we're not built to defend |

Additionally, we don't know yet if this ilClan will be one from the Council of Six. It could be a Homeworld Clan, couldn't it? I think, the Raven fares better to let another Clan play ilClan, while the Raven sits behind the Seat of the ilKhan, unseen but powerful.  PS: Hi to everyone! Yes, I'm new to this board. ;D |

From the talk I saw, it doesn't look like we will have any contact with those shmoes yet. Count on it to be one of the six I think.

Of course we could all be wrong, it could be one of the six becomes ilclan, the four in the homeworlds learn of it and invade; this is so destructive that by 3250 the highest level of tech is the primitive equipment in the XTRO series.

If you are asking about the warships, they are noted that some of them are being brought out of mothballs in one of the novels, I don't know which one though, as I don't have it. If you are asking about any of the other stuff, there's not much that can be considered confirmed. Herb, in the last battlechat, mentioned the time jump and that the last sourcebook of the dark ages era would be called The IlClan.

The time jump concerns me somewhat. Mainly because we're still recovering from the jump to the DA timeline and haven't finished fleshing that out. Hell, we haven't even gotten the Kurita 3067 book yet.
And from personal experience, in a game setting I ran, mass time jumps just don't work. You spend way to much time filling in the blanks.

Aff,making up the diffance from the Jihad to the DA was a major concern in the group I run,,,,they just got more worried as the "gap" approched.
