Welcome!
In OA you can deal with these kind of things in virches (virtual realities); there are plenty around that usually answer to "What if?" questions of historical nature.
If you want to introduce something that do not adhere with the setting's rule you can do that in a virch. It's a cheap work around but it can works
Quote:Re your question at the end - Nope, liking or creating soft SF will not get you banned, warned, or even admonished here. OA is a hard SF setting, but the days when anyone thought hard SF (which does not have any single agreed upon definition btw - we've looked) was somehow 'better' than soft SF are more than a decade gone in our past these days. Youthful exuberance from a few members back in the day and we're mildly embarrassed about it, basically.
