Nerf Tech Results

And I think the votes are in on this. We have some interesting results:

Nano Tech
Full Nano-tech
Masterminds only+++
No nano-tech+
Factory Nano-tech++++++
Medical Nano-tech+++++
Single purpose+++++

I think I consensus is: Closed environment Nano-tech. We'll be seeing it used in all sorts of inconspicuous ways, non of which really change life.

Bio Tech
Fulll BioTech
Villians only+(frost)+
TL8+
temporary wonder-drugs++++++++
permanent wonder-drugs+++++
regeneration+++++
modern ailments++++++
bio-weapons++
bioMods (surgical)++++
bioMods (genetic)++++
bioroids++++

It seems that drugs and regeneration are fine. The genetic engineering will be restricted to weird aliens and TL 8 stuff.


AI and computers
Full Tech
Insane MasterMinds/Precursors only
TL8 ++
Retro-tech++++
Super-Human Intelligence
Uncreative Human intelligence ++++++
Fantastic Computational Power (quantum computing+)++
Targeting Systems++++

OK, the results are: suspiciously similar to starwars. Computers are crud unless you have an uncreative AI. Targeting systems won't be great, but they'll work

Cybernetics
Full Tech+++(+)
Insane MasterMinds/Precursors only
TL8 +
Improved beyond gear
equal to gear+++++
Slightly inferior to limbs++++
Neural Interfaces++
Brain Scans

And despite voting for terrible computers, we have a lot of support for cybernetics. you guys are crazy. We will have Cybernetics mostly as permanent incorporation of existing gear and replacing limbs. Brain in a box is possible.

Electronic Vulnerability

not an issue.+
protecting against attacks is easy.+++++(+)
protection against attacks is hard.++(+)
don't rely on electronics. ++

and it seems fairly easy to protect your circuts, but make sure to get the expensive goods when going into battle.

Psionics!

Anti-Psi++++++-+--
Astral Projection---+-
Ergokinesis+
ESP++-+++-++
Probablity Alteration--
Pychic Healing-++
Pyschic Vampirism---
Pyschokinesis-+--++
Telepathy+++-++++-++
Teleportation---------

no psi++++
one (the winner)
few (the highest few)++
half (all positive)+++
all but a few (the lowest few)+
all +
no vote +

This seems to be an honest to goodness split. Psi is not officially part of the setting, but will have insertion points where it can be added. The psi added is Telepathy, ESP, and Anti-Psi.

I should have super-science up soon.
