One thing that I personally think is becoming more and more of a problem as time rolls on is the "retrofitting" of technology into the classic T2K timeline. How many times have we seen items only available in the 21st century being trotted out by players in a game?
I mean feel free to pull in whatever you want in a game set in say 2010, but items not even thought of until 2000+ in classic T2K?  |
If we extend the timeline past 2000, there are a lot of things we have now that would have still be developed. Having the slow build up of a hot war starting in the year 2000, would definitely work... and allow new blood to want to get involved in the game because it's all new take on the Cold War.
Think of our world right now if the Cold War had continued in the manner we've been discussing here. Think of what we would have today if the Cold War was still going on. Yes we'd still be posed at the swordpoint with the Soviets with alot of the same technology we have right now. hell, we might have been able to develop that technology earlier.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
