Is the universe stagnant in career mode?

[Night]

By this I mean to say, are there any universe wide events or flavor to make the universe seem alive in career mode?

For reference a game that is very similar to this is battle brothers.
In that game towns can be destroyed and there are sweeping end game events that involve towns being destroyed or captured by other factions.

Is there anything like that here? If so it might be worth diving back in but one of the things that immediately turned me off was how lifeless the universe FELT.

Despite the flavor text nothing happens in the universe. all of the planets are still owned by the same folks and there are no grand events that aren't' just centered around my team.

You are talking about creating an entirely new game with Battletech attached to it. Would I like to see the things you mention? Yes, sure I would. But it would not be simple and easy.

Maybe next time we'll head one of the great houses instead of a mercenary group.

That's why I asked the question, because I wasn't sure if i was talking about an entirely new game or not. I had no idea previously if this game had those features.

Since they don't I simply find the universe a bit stale.

Mods... at least two of the big mods have full inner sphere maps and planets that change ownership, in part due to the actions of the player. Steve mentioned "Galaxy at War" which can be added to the basic vanilla career map to make a more dynamic universe. I don't think that even with the mods that this game will ever have a world shaped by the player to the extent you might see in battle brothers, but the big overhauls definitely are deeper and more addictive than vanilla BT IMO.

Hyades rim adds a whole new area to the periphery so you can play pirate and totally ignore the inner sphere if you want.

it's a kick. there are about 15 new factions, new mechs, even the HM flashpoints have been randomized a bit.
