Heya! Have you thought about an idea for a BL3 AU where the central conflict would be a corporate war instead of the COV rampaging? Like the vault map leading to all the megacorps having a free-for-all for the vaults sitting everywhere. The lore had hinted at a prior corporate war and knowledge about the vault map seems like the perfect thing that would trigger a new one, knowing how keen all the corps are about finding vaults. I've seen suggest the idea before tho it was only recently-ish that I've really considered it & I like it :>
havent thought of it before and it does seem interesting but i . Have 0 experience with writing large scale conflicts like that lmao. And I know my internal critic would have me read like 1000 writeups on hard scifi warfare and intrigue before even thinking of it. so it's hard for me to even begin to conceptualize
I've noticed some things about the megacorps' militaries themselves that I think could illuminate how a corporate war involving them could go. I recall old docs from Burch mentioning how certain companies were arch enemies, like Maliwan and Jakobs(Idk if that has been brought up since, especially considering they pitted Maliwan against Atlas becuz.. reasons), who do have big stylistic differences in their forces, everyone does really. Hyperion has a lot of robots, Vladof have the bear mechs, Tediore has cheaper disposable equipment, Torgue has explosives up the butt, etc etc. So I guess what we'd be able to determine from that is.. some megacorps would have a harder time than others probably. If not based on their arsenal type, then at least based on strategic intelligence. Some might excel at that more than others. When it comes to corporation lore in BL.. I suspect you've spent longer thinking about it there than me :v
what old docs
what old docs
we dont exactly know that much abt the militaries of everyone lolll. like yes vladof has the ursa corps but its unclear if thats their only detachment or if they have other ones.
Oh right. I was referring to this thing, which I had found through this post. OP is deactivated as of now, I'm unsure of if I've seen other folks share it back in the day.
