[QUOTE="garrowolf, post: 5481269, member: 31900"] Maybe I would get a better idea if you told me what you don't agree with on the tech levels. The reason that I have it set up this way so far is to include as many scifi settings as I could. I'm not worried about it being perfect but any ideas would be great. A few things to consider though, I had to take the FTL issue out of the main focus of the tech leves because so many settings had FTL at different levels or got them from other sources and didn't develop them on their own. Also I don't agree with the concept of Jumpdrives at very low tech levels. It seems more like a writer's need for a certain function then something that would make sense at that tech level. Also any Hyperspace is equal to any other hyperspace. I am defaulting to Honor Harrington style Hyperspace because it was the most interesting. Combat in Hyperspace is dangerous but possible. "Star Wars" tech Hyperdrives would put you in the same place as Babylon 5 as Honor Harrington. This way cross overs are not blocked or faced with one writer's limits too much. Anyway what other ideas do you have about tech levels? I would like to keep the slower tech progression that I have so far so I would spread out some of the things you've talked about more. [/QUOTE]
