Something from the tech level of common Sci-Fi series like andromeda, stargate, star trek... are those too far in the future?

I kinda liked the settings of the Ancients from Stargate, however they are far too advanced. But what about for example the Replicator technology? Cloaking like the Romulans? How far is considered advanced for this RP but not too advanced. How fast is considered average in FTL in this RP? 

Those are currently my main questions.

I don't want to annoy you, however this would be my first RP on this site. I want to get more information to fine tune my concept.

Anyway, I've done some quick consulting with [@Keyguyperson] and our intial impression based on your presented inspirations is that those would be a bit too advanced, all things considered. The point of the game is to play an emerging empire, not one that's already advanced on the level of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The best example we can come up with is...think something more along the lines of the Enterprise from the first season of the show of the same name. Relatively slow FTL, no energy shielding, more modern weaponry (nuclear missiles rather than antimatter bombs) etc.

Having a much more advanced empire come in that's effectively on the same level as the starting empires-since none of us are starting with big colonial empires, wouldn't be fair to the other players.

I can't tell you how quick FTL is exactly, that question will have to go to [@duck55223].
