Greetings after so long!

Sorry, but life did happen to me and have been busy with school. 

Now then...

I am planning on rebooting this story with different progression and plot points. 
As I read this story a couple times this week, I have come to the conclusion that the build up of all sides are too quick and far too sudden. Not to mention, I have come to the conclusion that ComStar of all people are not that generous. In fact, even how the Griffins acted felt... weird. Not to mention, how I wrote the unicorn "Nobility" felt like I had lobotomized them and told them to act out the most complex play in existence. 

Now... I want to keep the theme of Changeling getting battletech tech, Griffins getting partial 40k tech and the ponies getting Magic & Knights tech;  but I want to write it in a different manner. I want to entirely remove human interaction as I think that creates a overly complicated point that needs much more work. I mean, I can introduce them, but not until FAR FAR later. 

I want to introduce these tech in a far more 'logical' manner. I want the each species learning to use and produce the technology in a far more sensible manner. Battletech doesn't exactly have fabrication machines, and I highly doubt the Griffins can make a Imperial Knight titan with Ion shields so soon. Yes, the main character here is Patina Gear; but I don't think it is sensible on her having a monopoly with tech. (Even with the tech she has, it is not likely 50+ drones can make a goddamn underground city) So I want to write it as if an Blakist Warship crashed and was dimensionally dumped into the southlands by an interested party while guiding Patina Gear's great-great grandmother to it. I can even write it so that it is Patina's mother gathering other queens and then having Patina take charge or something. 

It would make far more sense, you know?

Griffins finding the remnants of battlefield that involved House Terryn Knights and their guards. Or maybe like the changelings, a crashed transport filled with tech they have never seen. Introduce it in a manner that would allow the Griffins to learn, not build stuff off of memory. (Knight Houses with some autonomy?)

Then there is the ponies. 

This is the most issue filled part I have to think about. Maintained peace for a thousand years, hears how Griffins are getting more powerful, Changelings are becoming self-reliant and the Elements of Harmony can't do shit. I don't want Luna to split so soon or too late, and I don't want to write Celestia as a fool. She's lived for a thousand years, she ain't that inane. But I want them to gain the tech in a semi-natural manner as well. Maybe base them off of art I had seen long ago being definitely more magical and far more competent. Maybe integrate Break Blade elements? Reading the last chapter felt so... empty as reading such a steamroll felt so... off. It frustrated me in the end. 

But yes. Luna is still going to separate from Celestia. 

But I can only grovel in apology at neglecting this story for so long and disappointing so many people for not continuing this story. But I am going to begin writing the reboot starting this Friday, so stay tuned; is all I can say. 

I will also appreciate ideas on how somethings can work! I am still brainstorming things...
