General / Off-Topic BattleTech and Elite - something in common

[ShiMan]

I don't know, how much CMDR's are playing BattleTech, yet I saw something in common:

Braben's Frontier system.

Pretty much Lave-like. I wonder if Frontier could talk with PGI about creating cross-over event...

I also had this idea and wanted to share it. Looks like I'm not alone.
I am hoping that Frontier would give some consideration to a collaboration with Hair Brained Schemes and/or Piranha Games.
The engine Elite Dangerous uses, is in my opinion, the perfect platform to build the BattleTech universe. The Powerplay system, the ability to pilot ships, fighters, ground vehicles, walking on foot, the political intrigue, all on BILLIONS of planets. The BattleTech universe has less than a thousand planets. But it has a RICH story and narrative to it. This would not only possibly be the best BattleTech game that ever could be, but I think it would also be immensely popular.

@Paul_Crowther Please pass this on up to marketing for consideration!

Interesting... I kinda love MW5, but i always thought those maps are really small and quite limiting

If you take the resources that are used to generate trillions of astral bodies, and use them to focus on fleshing out a mere thousand worlds instead. I think it would work.
