Because let's be honest here, someone is bound to write at least one fanfic about CoaDE one day even if it has quite a minimalism story line.
So, what would be the idea of your story that you might or might not write one day at all?

Aliens entering the solar system and all the factions losing their shit (all long-term geopolitical maneuvering suddenly becomes obsolete) would be a cool premise. Or the rise of a faction that had, until now, somehow remained and survived on Earth. A rogue AI taking over all the factions (by military conquest, hacking, economic warfare and bribing people in power) might also be interesting. Don't think I'll write any fanfics, just throwing some ideas around.

For me it'd be interesting to see some kind of espionage/military-political story. A faction has managed to gather one or more scientific geniuses who have together designed a new superweapon. Said faction then needs to proceed carefully - to what extent have they been permeated by enemy spies? What if one or more of the greatest minds involved in the project is sympathetic to an enemy faction? What if a test of the device is necessary to proceed but would be difficult if not impossible to conceal from the other factions? Is the weapon significant enough to be worth the cost in terms of political fallout?
In essence, the manhattan project 2: electric boogaloo in space

We do have the siloship: Prototyped by the RFP (assuming the RFP didn't actually steal the design from the USTA), the prototype and shipyard is attacked while it's under construction (Orbital Fallout), then the USTA have their own later on (indicating either they copied the design, or the RFP did).

Or maybe a roomish-temperature superconductor. |

Insert this huge control rod into your hot reactor core.

Again - ingame: The Construction of the Siloships.
Already known engineering - the thing is the implied use of them. Peacetime, you'd probably see the concept raised of using them cruising like SSBNs - second strike capability, operating on long patrols in out of the way orbits, ready to burn in on enemy worlds and unleash hell.

With stock ships being hilariously unoptimised, it may be difficult to take such story with the serious it would require... |

With stock ships being hilariously unoptimised, it may be difficult to take such story with the serious it would require... On a similar note, it would be interesting to take people's competing doctrines, ideas and designs over time and make a story out of them, though currently you'd probably have to gloss over a lot of things (physics-breaking railguns, missiles being terrible at homing due to calculation problems, etc.). Maybe break the discussion down into general competing schools of military thought and see what stories one can come up with. I would imagine that there'd be at least some period where the various factions struggle to develop tactics before there's enough conflict data to prove what works and what doesn't. |
