Thread: Technologies by S-level suggestions

Thread: Proposals for new metric weapons
Post: RE: Metric Engineering Ideas
| I agree with worldtree and I’d also be against including long lists of specific, mundane sounding weapons. Metric weapons are meant to be incredibly mysterious and terrifying, that gets undercut if we... |

Thread: Nauri Expansion
Post: RE: Nauri Expansion
| If you have a proposal for expanding the Nauri then feel free to discuss a draft. Or is the extent of the idea just to add a line mentioning specific red dwarfs and leave it at that? |
