I feel like it would be a good idea to make a book which story starts on the 2200 earth before we blow ourselves up, leading up to the point where the space tech is developed. it should be the most realistic sci fi ever made, rivaling even that of "Earth Awakens" Earth Unaware. Would Q-switched allow us or want us to make a collaboration book?
by collab, I mean that everyone who wants to participate could write parts of the storyline down, detailing what the ship would look like and how it would be built, including orbital physics in the engagements, and having lasers that are not OP as it would ruin everything.

There's already a book called Children of a Dead Earth that has nothing to do with the game. I've been thinking about getting into sci-fi writing and turning my almost non-stop daydreaming and mental videos of space warfare into words but I've never been good at writing flowing sentences.

If you want it to be the most realistic book possible, you NEED to have OP lasers (as apophys proved in the tournement apparently). however there is countermesures, that i believe the people in the "are warships even viable with all these lasers" thread are working on. |

Well not really working on anymore, I and others already managed to beat apophys's design with substantial margins. It's hard to say how that would end up in real life though, since CoaDE has very abstract laser focusing and targeting, radiator, and sensor mechanics. Actual lasers could be unbeatable or they could be absolute garbage, depending on how things turn out. |

I would be willing to participate in this, and even have a general outline of a faction that could be a presence in the story (From Ender's Campaign on Discord), their military doctrine, and ship construction philosophy.
It may offer opportunities to explore things outside of the very narrow slice of the world we see in CDE. I've always been curious about how warships would be built, what the training is like for our shipboard crews? What is civilian life like in the orbital habitats and on the surface of asteroids?
If one is okay with deviating further from stock CDE, things such as RCS thrusters translating to dodge projectiles and space-to-planetside combat could be incorporated into the story.

Would this be one long story following the same general plot, or would it be short stories or vignettes within the COADE setting? I feel like short stories would be better, due to the fact that a short story could focus one one specific facet of space life or the COADE war without feeling odd, and it would allow people to write stories without having to deal with the commitment of making it fit within a larger overall story. I dont know. I just thought that it would be a cool Idea to write a book about this. |

I want someone to write a fanfic about the life of Celestina "Overkill" Voitenko. Vesta Overkill is hands down my vavorite mission, and I'd always thought that Celestina is one of the more memorable characters from the campaign. I'd love to know more about how she got her nickname.
