I heard that MWO timeline matches that of BT 1:1 and it’s currently 3050 year, if so do I have to wait:

• 4 years (3054) to see Laser AMS
  
• 5 years (3055) to see Laser Heat Sinks
  
• 6 years (3056) to see Light Gauss
  
• 7 years (3057) to see IS Ultra AC2
  
• 7 years (3057) to see IS Ultra AC10
  
• 7 years (3057) to see ER Pulse Lasers
  
• 8 years (3058) to see Medium Range Missiles
  
• 9 years (3059) to see Hypervelocity Autocannons
  
• 10 years (3060) to see IS Ultra AC20
  
• 10 years (3060) to see PPC capacitor
  
• 11 years (3061) to see Heavy Gauss
  
• 11 years (3061) to see Laser Reflective Armor
  
• 11 years (3061) to see Hardened Armor
  
• 12 years (3062) to see Rotary Autocannons
  
• 13 years (3063) to see Stealth Armor
  
• 14 years (3064) to see Bombast Laser
  
• 15 years (3065) to see Improved Heavy Gauss
  
• 15 years (3065) to see Reactive Armor
  
• 17 years (3067) to see Light, Heavy and Snub-Nose PPCs
  
• 17 years (3067) to see ER and Heavy Flamers
  
• 18 years (3068) to see Plasma Rifle
  
• 18 years (3068) to see Light Autocannons
  
• 19 years (3069) to see Plasma Cannon
  
• 20 years (3070) to see Variable Speed Pulse Lasers
  
• 22 years (3072) to see Thunderbolt Missile Launchers
  
• 23 years (3073) to see Clan Rotary Autocannons
  
• 23 years (3073) to see Endo-Composite Structure
  
• 24 years (3074) to see Modular Armor

If true, can we speed this up to something like 1 standart year = 1 decade in BT universe. That would be an awesome 3 years, otherwise I doubt anyone at all will play this game by that time.

I don't think they will jump ahead that fast, but suspect we will see a jump eventually. At the moment even just getting beyond 3049/3050 would open up many more chassis.

[Wieland]

Next year will stay at the current timeline.
At the moment we have 3049 btw.

The first timeline jump might go to around 3060. IS would get all Ultra/LBX/Streak/ER weapons and its first line of Omnis.
This will definitely not happen before 2016.

I'll be 72 when we get all that stuff. So If I can wait so can you.

They have said before that there could be "jumps", you'll note that even the core BT tabletop tends to "jump" ahead by a few decades at a time, with conflict centered around a particular era, with each era having it's own history conflict, and level of tech.

Don't expect the timeline to jump any time spon, we've only just now gotten started with Clan Invasion era stuff, but when that stops being new/exciting/profitable then I'm sure we'll see "expansions" themed around different decades and different conflicts.

[Belorion]

I have no desire to play MWO for the Dark Age era BT universe. Variety is one thing, but I think we are actually pretty good right now.

If in a couple years they jump to 3065 or something that wouldn't be tragic, but lets have fun with the game the way it is now
