[@Tortoise] ok, just trying to get my bearings on what kind of technology is reasonable. I have a fondness for realistic scifi but still love me some space magic too. I wont start the debate on what is realistic. for me, at least to start ill probably stick with pretty realistic tech, like ion Drives, fusion power, automation etc. Things like hover tech and hard light ill probably buy, trade, or steal. The cool factor im planning on is more of a scale thing O'neill cylinders are big lol. sorry double post..
