Talk:FreeRIDErs (setting)

Old Discussion on the Future of FreeRIDErs and the Upcoming 'Earth-Zharus War' Story Arc Previously in Page Header

Are there any plans to let writers stray into the Earth-Zharus War scene? I've got a story idea or two that I'd love to set in that period, but I'm short on the context that Jon, RM and the others have in mind. That is, I don't really have any idea how you intend the war to play out. Although my idea wouldn't actually involve much in the actual frontlines/war, it would be good to have some idea of the kind of materiel and hardware and general strategy and social climate and the such, because nothing concrete seems to have actually been laid out so far for that period (or have I missed something?). Which is why I thought I'd ask your permission before getting started. If needed, I'd be more than pleased could draft out the general idea. Thanks in advance! --Wayward Coyote (talk) 18:05, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest here, but there's a lot of ground to cover between the present and that future in the setting before we get there. We can't guarantee that anything you'd write taking place during that period would remain canon. --Buck (talk) 19:01, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, what Jon said. Our ideas for the war are very very nebulous at this point, more possibilities than anything else. There are things we don't even know quite yet about how we're going to end "Integration", let alone what comes between that and the war. Any number of things could change between now and then. So just be patient, or else think on how to adapt your ideas to the setting's "present". —Robotech Master (talk) 23:23, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I understand. I might just follow the main series for now and wait until it hits that time period; I'm quite keen to see where it's going anyway. Or maybe I'll see what I can do with some other ideas I have lying around. Either way, though, thank you for your replies! --Wayward Coyote (talk) 07:38, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Possibility of Stonegate Ancestry and Military Heritage?

I was wondering if I could possibly give the extended Stonegate family some ancestors, at least one of whom I'd like to use to set a precedent for Socah Gates's involvement in military affairs, starting with Once More Into the Breach, My Friend…: Carter's Last Stand??

If you're wondering why I asked, then it's because I thought it'd be kinda funny if Carter Hawkinson, the character who I made up to put in a data-based, copse-sicle–like situation, decided to visit Rhianna at the FreeRIDErs' Garage before attending one or more of the classes she teaches at Roberto Martinez Memorial University in Uplift to see if he'd like her as a teacher only to be interrupted mid-conversation by Charlene McClaren when she rushes in to tell Rhi about his resurrection and its relevance to her? Imagine the look at Charlene's face when she sees him standing there talking to Rhi, especially if she'd met him earlier before she knew about his significance!

Pre-'Post–Oil-Age 'Dark Ages'' Political Situation?

What would you guys imagine the political situation just prior to the beginning of the post–Oil-Age 'Dark Ages' to be like? Or is it too early to dive into that yet?

Are you guys still thinking about this?  — RandomDSdevel (talk) 14:37, 29 January 2015 (EST)

It's kind of important to me that you guys work on helping me figure this out for my story Carter's Last Stand?, so please let me know if you've thought about this yet and how far along you are in formulating an answer. If you'd like my input on this, then please either respond here or tell me where, if at all, you've been discussing this so that I can join in.

On the Nature of Qubitite

What exactly is qubitite made out of? Is it some kind of photonic molecular mesh prevented from dissipating by the presence of ordinary, baryonic matter inside? If so, then could it be synthesized in-universe and how difficult would doing so have to be in order to prevent the possibility of qubitite synthesis from being widely known by the time of the latest story in the current FreeRIDErs chronology?
