then tell me what the limit in technological level is.

I'd say the limit is that it doesn't put the game out of balance, or allow for you to do stupid, cheap things.

For example nukes: You can just drop them on any city you want, and since this isn't real life, there's no reason to not do it.

CG's plasma rifles, on the other hand, are actually supposed to be equal to, or in some cases weaker than assault rifles.

Your star destroyers allows you to fly around and destroy whatever you want. I'd say your hovercraft would be fine given that a.) the fighter planes of the other nations are comparable (to some extent), or b.) it is more powerful, but the rest of the nations are ok with this, and it doesn't totally put you out of reach.

My perspective on it, though I'm sure further votes will define what, specifically is to be done with futuristic technology.

Exactly. OOC: And why I placed in the excerpt from Fallout wikia .

the hover ships are like huge planes without a range limit. and you can quite easily destroy it ( or lat least damage it) by targeting the engines. for obvious reasons, the Captain will move the ship away from the cities before air combat starts.

( note: the engines, like the rest of the ship is protected by a fairly weak energy shield. 60 aircraft carried missiles can knock out a shield on all 6 vectors. ten each.)

the hover ships can be used for anything pretty much, not just the bomber role. but it travels rather slow ( its top speed is mach one).

if thats overpowered i wont bother constructing any.

Ugh, I'm getting kinda annoyed. I propose the The Global Weapons Act. This will make it so that any weapon that can not feasibly be made within the next 5 to 10 years cannot and will not appear in the game. I want this game to be somewhat reminiscent of our times now, not the year 3000.

If you want to, we can put this up to vote in the UN thread, Taniciusfox.

I honestly cannot blame you for that.

The only real problematic poster seems to be Mathalamus(I don't think any bio-enhanced soldiers or plasma rifles can compare to a FREAKING DEATH STAR), so I think we'll let the verdict, more or less, reside with the current court decision, which is very bitterly-split.

You should realize that this does not disallow directed energy weapons, as there are currently used laser weapons.

oh i didn't realize the US Army has laser weapons now. directed energy weapons are not piratical, and thus disallowed.

Yes, this is what I was getting at. I don't mind laser rifles, rail guns, or stuff like that (even how impractical and expensive they might be ). What I don't want to see are Star Ships coming in and blowing up Jerusalem.

fine. laser weapons are allowed. ill construct some kind of jamming equipment to compensate.

 

[Perfection]

how the crap do you jam a laser?

 

[Joecoolyo]

fine. laser weapons are allowed. ill construct some kind of jamming equipment to compensate.

Why? It's not like it gets any advantage over anything else, all battles are totally random, nothing weighs in.

Why does this give me a sense of Deja vu with the Powergame shenanigans of DYOS 5-9?

Oh great, looks like Mathalamus hasn't learned the lessons of DYOS 5-9 and wants to ruin it through powergaming.
