So, Laurentus:

Should I shamelessly steal my galactic map design from Aura Hyperia's? (Of course, I wasn't a fan of Mara's quasi-3D map, so I'd probably forgo that for a simpler 2D map.)

Hey, that's what I'd do. Go apeshit, I say.

Just thought I'd post this here.

I was actually thinking of cutting out the more mystical / less conventional elements of sci-fi in this RP, at least initially (ie, no Force, Chaos, 2nd Foundation manipulation stuff, etc.). Maybe we could introduce such things as the RP goes on, but I prefer starting off without them.

Other than that, I think most things could probably fit within the tech tree of this RP.

I must say that the technology of Mass Effect is interesting, but I don't understand it all that well. I'd rather go with Tau's original idea of Star Wars tech.

So things like using Mass Effect cores for FTL travel, initially, would be fine?

Consider me interested :]

To maintain consistency, one of the few limits I want to place on tech is in the form of FTL travel, by only allowing Star Trek-like warp drives and Star Wars-like hyperdrives.

Edit: If I want to stick to Star Wars tech, I'm not sure how much adding dark energy and mass effect fields would complicate things. It seems like a completely separate (and potentially incompatible) tech system.

Can we have a similar version of it? Like improvements your nation made to it?

Well, you're going to have to post an explanation of Star Wars tech then, because I know nothing about it.

Just for interest's sake, how many people know Mass Effect better than Star Wars?

I played Star Wars Empire at War. So i know a ton about their ships and tech.

You will have to explain your improvements OOC, but yes.

The actual explanations behind Star Wars tech are rather handwavy and don't make much sense. Keep that in mind when reading any articles on them.

Other than the hyperdrive and potentially the shields, I think the tech will likely vary in this RP, so too deep of a reading into Star Wars tech isn't probably required.

Lol, So far my favorite tech is the Protoss

Hmm. If I could conceive a way to adapt Mass Effect field and core technology to fit in with the continuity of this RP, would that be accepted then?

Doing instant jumps through Mass Effect relays could become a late stage thing in the RP, then.

It is also worth noting that things like Biotics wouldn't immediately be available, since it requires exposure to element zero while in the uterus. Thus things like the force or whatever would fit in with late stage RP stuff, along with biotics.

Another thing we could maybe consider is being able to upgrade all our tech to Mass Effect tech after awhile, sticking to Star Wars/Trek tech at the beginning.

But one question: we're going to have light sabers, right?

Or Psi-blades?
