Hi, 

[quote]than everyone being grand imperial empires or massive multicultural federations, we were all Empires who only (relatively) recently began reaching into the stars. Maybe your nation has only recently discovered FTL and settling it’s first colonies, maybe your nation has reached space but has no method of FTL, and thus is reliant on cryogenics to settle distant worlds, or it is even possible that your nation only just took it’s first steps into space and it’s own moon.[/quote]

4. As this is based around small empires, there will not be a single massive empire or federation. At most you should have FTL technology and some future-age space weapons with a few nearby colonies that are nowhere close to be fully developed. If you have an awesome idea that is odd or doesn’t fit this criteria but you think would work in the RP, contact me and something could be arranged.

6. FTL is slow and tech is limited to fit in with the theme of the RP. However, there is a precursor gate network to allow for near instant travel to specific points in the galaxy. More will revealed about the precursors as the RP progresses[/quote]

What about a very small nation which is technological very advanced?
What is defined as slow and limited? Could you give a few examples? In comparision to the size of the universe even 1000 times the speed of light is slow, however to a human this speed is much faster than the human perception. 

What would be a normal speed, what a slow speed and what would be a fast speed but not too fast? 
1 ly/h
10 ly/h
100 ly/h
1 ly/day
10 ly/day
100 ly/day
?

I would like to make a technological very advanced (depending on the definition) nation which has at the beginning only a couple of vessels, 1 Planet and a few mining outposts.

What about details on size, speed and others? I couldn't find, or I am simply too blind, any details on the size or speed of the capital ships in the 'United Terran Federation'. I use this nation as a reference since it's the only one currently and also the one of the GM.
Do you plan on putting the details into the actual RP posts or won't there be any values regarding the capabilities of things? That is something I want to know for the final version of my nation ;-)

Hopefully one of you can/wants to answer my questions ^^
