Been writing some back story for a table top RPG that's going to revolve around the Expanse table top RPG rules set in a similar sort of world.

Was just thinking, how long would it actually take to terraform a planet, like we've affected our own atmospherics in only 260 ish years since the industrial revolution started pumping carbon particles and greenhouse gases into the air.

And we've already started to experience a planetary warming effect due to industrial pollution, living exhausts and that's with the planets natural filtration dealing with alot of it as it is.

If you were actually able to put a bunch of reactor processing stations all over Mars, I wonder how quickly you actually change the atmosphere on mars.

Found this old picture of what i think is Taken King Concept art, when i saw it back then ive always thought it would be cool to see what "Good" hive would look like.

Ive always thought of the Hive as being tolkien space orcs in a way, like they may have been once beautiful but their service in darkness turned them into wretched forms of life "Tortured and Mutilated".

With the Lucent brood, It would be cool to see individuals immerge like Luzarku who then transmorm into these moth like appearences becoming a whole new form of existence thanks to the travellers light.

Now I know people will immediately say "theyre called Dredgens genius..." But from what I understand is that Dredgens are still light bearers.

Was lamenting the fact we're never gonna get the final dark subclass and was musing on what it could be.

One of the comments made an interesting point, what if the third and final dark subclass would be too dark a power to be Borne by a light bearer.

Well that just filled my mind with other possibilities to still allow for a third dark subclass, what if a whole new class was created, a being that could only use the dark powers to allow for the use of the final red class.

You'd have a Titan, a Hunter, a Warlock and a Nemesis. A being imbued with dark powers by the Winnower, gifted with the final dark subclass that can potentially true death a guardian.

Create a neat new gameplay element of being able to attack each other during PvE but you have the option to drop into the map on a "contested zone" so newer players don't get harassed.

Pluto could be the "Tower" for Nemesis players, would be a good opportunity to bring in Lysander as your captain of the Nemesis being a rogue individual himself perhaps abandoned his light in favor of something else. Be cool to have Toland the shattered reborn into some sort of hive body and even Bael return as an agent of the winnower.

Horrible copium at this point but if there was like one final thing Bungie could add to the game, I'd wish for the 3rd and final dark subclass.

In my head I've been calling it "Severance", strife or eclipse, call it what ever you want at this point. Have it revolve around themes of decay and entropy.

The powers are so irritatingly incomplete among other things of course but I've always wanted that final subclass since the reveal of strand.

Originally thought it was gonna have something to do with the enemies you see with the dark red aura around them that you need to use the seasonal relic to kill.

Then I thought it was gonna be the dark yellow power you originally see Rhulk use and then the witness, something to do with dimensional resonance or something.

But having played through Renegades recently I definitely feels like the red eclipse power was gonna be the winner.

Even recently starting thinking potential seasonal story revolving around chosen champions of the Nine call the Paladins of the Nine. Wanted it to be the Knights of the Nine but that's already a thing.

Each paladin representing one of the nine and 6 of them being a master in a subclass with the remaining 3 balance in-between, but one the balancers has gonna missing, earths.

Would've been a good reason to bring back Bael as a Paladin of Saturn. Have Osiris get repowered by becoming a Paladin of Mercury, finally introduce Lysander as one of the dark paladins.

I think it couldve been cool.

Been thinking a lot about this, I imagine this is going to be an unfavorable theory considering Marathon is kinda the enemy as far as destiny fans are concerned.

But during Marathon Infinity, Durandal and Tycho were mucking around with timelines to prevent the awakening of the Primordial god , and I cant help but think that Destiny, Halo and Marathon are actually apart of some sort of tripartite timeline where Durandal and Tycho have become basically gods in.

The Gardener being Durandal and the Winnower being Tycho. There's a lot of similarities between universe, now obviously this could be prescribed to all the titles just being developed by the same company and shared a similar art direction.

But its not hard to think that the Battleroids from Marathon kinda split into two separate things, as Battleroids were resurrected deceased soldiers turned into combat Cyborgs, Guardians are deceased people resurrected into warriors of light and spartans were people turned into Cybernetic soldiers.

The recent hidden cutscene involving the maybe winnower just sounded too human, now you could say that this primordial deity was just speaking through Lodi and using his turns of phrase like "Chum" and "Spat", but if not then it sounded like it could have been the ancient megalomaniacal rampant AI turned god.

Also too, in a lot of Marathon Infinity the player character is acting as an agent or weapon for what ever AI you serve at the time, ideally Durandal as he has achieved meta stability, so too does the Gardener and Winnower act through agents.

The Traveler, the guardians, the Witness and the taken king, all pawns in a some great game of paracausal probability.

Are Daleks the most evil alien race in all of sci fi media?

They'll willfully enslaves other races to do manual labor for them even though they have technology that can do it more efficiently.

They are xenophobic to such a degree that all other non dalek forms must be exterminated.

They've nearly been wiped out multiple times only to come back with no changes to their ideological hatred of all things not dalek.

Actively adjust the power output of their blasters so as not to kill instantly but instead kill in the most painful way possible.

Maintain that they are the absolute supreme beings in the universe.

Let's say the right developers where given a chance to recreate the first FEAR game beat for beat as a reboot to the series and throw out 2 & 3.

Would we, the fans, want to see that as a potential new lease of life for the series. I think it's utterly criminal that Warner Bros Interactive have done nothing with the series. Yet at the same time, under their guidance put out Project Origin and F3AR is probably for the best they didn't dig the whole even deeper.

If WBI got the right developers and maintained a hands-off mentality (which would never happen but anyway) I'd like to see a reboot of the series.

The only changes I'd make is instead of it taking place in the fictional city of Fairport, have it take place in Boston which I believe was actually the inspiration for Fairport anyway.

Edit: I'm liking what some people have said. That FEAR should've been an Anthology series, that Alma Wade shouldve been Case:1 in a sense. I really like that idea, that maybe FEAR 2 would've been a whole other incident involving other entities.
