what are tech levels? I'm still kind of new to the forums. Thanks for the help.

It's a shorthand way of asking how you roleplay (RP) your nation. FT is Future Technology; MT is Modern Tech; PT is Past Tech.
A Future Tech nation could easily take part in a space battle, there are ways you could edge a Modern Tech nation into one (like, observing the battle), but a Past Tech one would probably have to try using time-travel or magic.
Future Techs go all the way from having technology just a bit in advance of today's to being millenia ahead.
Your tech level matters in some RPs (usually war, trade, diplomacy) but not so much in character RPs.

can you switch between techs? would past be a more fantasy tech? thanks again.
can you switch between techs?
Yup, but probably not so much in the same RP
would past be a more fantasy tech? thanks again.
PT is more technology that has happened, but not used anymore. Fantasy is stuff that never happened, isn't happen, and probably never will happen. (Of course, with Fantasy Tech, you can violate the laws of physics, which would mean that it will never happen. ;) )

okay, last question. I'm thinking off making a storefront. Can I sell things for all tech levels in one storefront?

You might like to check out this (http://s14.invisionfree.com/RPU/). It's the offsite forum for Role_Playing_University. I think there's some info on storefronts there. You can view the forums as a guest without signing up (though it's worthwhile if you want detailed advice).

checked site, didn't find what i was looking for. I'm just asking, can I sell things for each tech in one storefront? Thanks.

I don't think there are any rules against it; I can't see why there would be. But I don't know anything about storefronts. Time for one of the experts to answer.

I suppose you could make a storefront that sold stuff from all tech levels. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's your roleplay and you can do what you like as long as you don't violate the TOS and other site rules.

You should have clicked on the link and read it when you created a nation. (In fact, I would recommend that you read all the legal crap before using any site, especially the privacy policy on any website you visit.) If you didn't, here's a link to what I think is the appropriate page.
