(AU) Trailblazer Corporation's tech discussion
« on: 26 September 2023, 10:25:14 »
Lore: After the discovery and dissemination of the Helm memory Core in 3028-3030, The Trailblazer Corporation with their copy not only begun researching into restoring old star league tech but improving and enhancing existing components in a almost single minded arms race to be on top. By Accident or By design they begun making early Clan Tech, Marketed officially as 'Solaris' Grade equipment due to it's lower production numbers in comparison to normal inner sphere equipment. Over the Course of the latter half of the succession wars they were experimenting and branching out from the normal Star League tech. Such as Er medium and small lasers, and higher and lower classes of LB-X and Ultra Autocannons. Through trade they slowly managed to recover Lostech as it was reintroduced from other Inner Sphere Manufacturers. As they did not want to become state property at the time.

Concept: The idea behind this AU is to slowly Improve and Implement Clan tech Slowly into the Inner Sphere. As such The Trailblazer Corporation's main goal is to produce the best equipment by developing it and testing it in Solaris matches first. Receiving Recovered Lostech over time as it's reintroduced and in the cases such as the Streak SRM's, LB-X and Ultra autocannons on top of the gauss rifle, is to complete the sets and in the case the gauss rifle make a lighter and more efficient model of the normal gauss rifle. Though this would take a lot of time, money and resources.

Clan Tech Available to them as of 3029-3039:
Improved Large Laser
Improved LRMs
Improved SRMs
Improved Standard Autocannons

Clan Tech Available As of 3040s+:
Improved Gauss Rifle
Clan Prototype and improved ER Lasers
Clan Prototype and improved LB-X Autocannons
Clan Prototype and improved Ultra Autocannons
Clan Prototype and Improved Streak SRM 4 and 6

Clan Tech Available as of 3053+:
Full Clan Tech Slowly Becomes Available over the course of the timeline.

the questions:
Would the Houses want to trade for this tech over time?
How would this tech effect Inner Sphere Development and Production?
How would the Houses Respond to such Tech in the Wild?
Would this tech even be Worth the Investment?
How expensive would it be on average to set everything up and would it(the tech and infrastructure) eventually pay for itself?

1. Definitely, any increase is better than what they had
2. Probably not much except maybe lightening the Heavy Fire Support (Archer, Catapult) to Medium (Apollo, Trebuchet) levels
3. Militantly, each will try to monopolize it.
4. Depends on how well protected it is. It will definitely warrant a visit from totally not COMSTAR and raiding forces from the Houses.
5. Very and a long time if you are doing it at a small scale
