<Snipped quote by Vahir>

This is interesting. Maybe a Jules Verne level of tech ala [u]War of the Worlds[/u]? Are we supposing all planets have the same level of technology?

Planets should be around the same technology level, but some nations being more advanced than others will make sense.

Hm. I want to make a steampunk republic, but the level of technology still seems vague. Are we already in space?

This could work, I'd like to see how all of these advanced technologies would work with Steampunk mixed in (Such as Spaceships)
