I under stand that Turanic is fair new to NS. but i have had an idea that i think can be looked into. The Tech level of your country. Im thinking maybe by major tech something like

1 Cave man level
2 Early hovel
3 First villages
4 Tribeal level
5 Multi tribe

Something like that. Or maybe useing the

copper age CA
bronze age BA
iron age IA
steel age SA

somthing like that any way please contribute. this is an article for the betterment of NS ment to give a better grasp of you nation currnet tech level and maybe give an idea of what must be done to atain higher tech levels.

what tech level you start at is entirely your decision. The freedom of Free Form Role play means you can start anywhere. Just some general tips though, most people dont mind new space nations but bear in mind economic difficulties still exist.

IE. A new space nation would be severly limited ship wise or resource wise. Generaly starting with hundreds of things so state of the art it's blamo just looking at em is really frowned upon.

But ancient nations are very very far and few which is unfortunate because that's some quality RP just not being used. Ultimately the choice is yours but most people would feel bad for stomping on a nation with stick and stones as weapons whilst they run about in tanks and fighter jets.

Well i mean yea its still up to you but it would make it easyer to define the level of you country. if there was even a litte bit of disscion i bet we can get a lot of ideas for how to desrcibe the tech ladder even for space nation you can use things like

89 Hyper drive
90 FLT (faster than light)
91 Plasma Reactors
92 Aqua 2 Life suport

you know thing like that and it would provide fodder for resarching new techs to advance to high tech level. thing like the manhatten project. Arms races. thing like that.

any ideas are welcome..

Ahah. Now I see what your getting at lol. Apologies I miss-understood the first time round. Yeah that'd be quite a good idea actually. It would give a great resource for tech and what sort of level your at.

I likes :mrgreen:

i know i mean i just stared and i see the possable RP potnetal here steal high tech international thieft and the like the RP potential here isa total untapped! we need to spread the word...

Maybe even "KNATION#2 techlevel storefront (Re-Opened)".

well thats an idea but this is where i want to hash out the rating system

Like the following

1 Cave
2 village
3 many villages
4 tribal
5 basic hamlets
6 Advent of iron
7 Medival era
8 Renisance
9 ship and sailing
10 Pre civil war
11 civil war
12 Post civil war
13 advent of electric power
14 60's
15 70's
16 80's
17 nuclear power
18

Iknow its long but bear with me its meant to be detail to a degree ( Im not best person for this thats why im post the ideas and not a hard tech thred..

Bump. i like some help with this? is there anyone one intrested in this besides iragistan and Thunderstraat ? i know your looking at this post i can see the veiws gooin up each time i refresh the other page. please give some input

my country is modern,you can add that to youre list,And then post-modern,space.
note: that post-modern and space are diffrent,like post-modern you still have tanks and stuff,but they are futuristic tanks,but still no lasers or anything,and then space= future and the posibilties are endless almost.

Yeah..
here goes #2
1 Cave
2 village
3 many villages
4 tribal
5 basic hamlets
6 Advent of iron
7 Medival era
8 Renisance
9 ship and sailing
10 Pre civil war
11 civil war
12 Post civil war
13 advent of electric power
14 Pre modern
15 Modern
16a post Modern
17b post modern lasers
18 early space travel
19 First stations
20 Day transit Surface-ground
21 First spcae colony
22 Space colonies
23 Imporved Power supply (NUC,PLASMA,FUSION,ETC,)
24 Space nation
25

more ideas welcome and feel free to Steal above text for own post.

Looks interesting, tho nations tend to rate themselves rather acuratly already.

And rating future and space tech is troublesome, because different people have different ideas on how advanced a given thing is; ie Bob might have gravity tech and nuclear fission reactors, while Ed's ships are powered by antimatter, but his crews still work in zero-gee, etc.

Good point .... Maybe alternate tech lists?

15 Modern
16a post Modern
17b post modern lasers
18 early space travel
19 First stations


We have Space Stations Now(19) so why is that after post modern lasers(17b) which is a Stage which isnt around Now?

Not really feasible; as you start moving farther into the future you start running into 'infinite diversity in infinite combonations' issues that make catagorization ridged and impracticle to impliment in such a diverse free form community.

what about people whom may choose majick over tech how would you apply them into tech levels since high majick is as good as tech

what about people whom may choose majick over tech how would you apply them into tech levels since high majick is as good as tech

Or people who use both tech and magick, etc.

IMO once you start moving beyond the established timeline, things get too murky to classify very well.

Its all a wonderfull idea i think it will all have to be rp'd out in the end still

I use a tech level that I have coined-Clancy Tech. Very advanced post modern, basically stuff you read in Dale Brown, Tom Clancy, and Stephen Coonts, plsu things I think up on my own.

OOC: I don't follow your series of tech levels, how is many villages more advanced then a single village? It's not is it because that's to general you need to be more specific, when you say civil war which one do you mean? I have a feeling you're refering to the American Civil War.

Nice idea but you gotta specify with clearly defined stages and once you go beyond the present you can't define it anymore. Plus the whole magic and such just complicates matters even further.

I was kind of wondering that myself, if your going to use eras such as 'pre civil war' and so on your going to have to define which civil war because some people may not catch on. :) anyway, nice idea
