Something I'd like is new psionics that are wild and unpredictable; sort of the psychic equivalent to Chaos Magic. Raw, unfocused power releasing itself from a character who has no idea how to harness it and can only barely direct it. I think the stuff in Rifter #50 was a great start. Those classes have some great variety and options, and I really liked the "latent psionics" options (though we need more of those).

Another great thing this book could do is contain "conversion" for the Beyond the Supernatural 2nd Edition psychics into the Apocalyptic world of Chaos Earth. Bring those psychic powers up to a Megaversal standard, and explain how the Threat Rating system interacts with such an overwhelming event.

I think a detailed history of Psi-stalkers would be very welcome. Explain the forces that birthed a new race of human mutants from the chaos of the Rifts.

I want to see the actual book, in my hands....Birth of Psi-stalkers and Psyscape would be great. What I don't want to see is Rifts psychics reprinted in CE. I've been using modified rules for Nightbane Psychics for years to make it a little different from Rifts.

The birth of Bursters would be cool to see, too. Was it the unending, harsh winters that focused so many psychics into pyrokinetics? Or something else? Psi-Stalkers are a mutation and unless there's a transformative rift event (like what created Sea-Titans) I don't think you could really see that in the initial weeks and months of Chaos over which Chaos Earth actually takes place in.

I'd like to see psychic abilities get the same variety and treatment as magic.

bursters i could easily see. proto-bursters exist in BTS, so it would follow that Pyrokinetics would be around in some form in CE too.

actually several of the BTS classes could have CE equivalents.. the hunter types for example might exist, and could well have a few traits hintign that they will eventually turn into the psi-stalkers (like a psi-ability letting them drain foes of PPE as a way to boost their own powers?)

BTS upgraded: that is, all of the PCCs from BTS2e, but with more power — and less control.
