Just a quick question that goes to all of these you just submitted: Why are you trying to get these approved/looked over if the faction isn't approved yet? Seems like it's in the wrong place if it's still being worked on.
 
Son of a bitch, I was gonna do something similar to this for my power cells. Was literally my plan to write something like this today XD

So he doesn't run into the issues that I am facing with plot development. I can't do a plot until I get the technology approved, but I've had the race approved for almost a year now. It's just a different way of ordering things. If it's approved without the faction, given they are just humans from what I understand, then it shouldn't be an issue. He only needs to form the government and display the Technology level of the faction.
 
But this isn't like the Vekimen. This is a group that's bursting to the forefront without having to reinvent/recreate all of its tech as it rebuilds. He could just get it all approved/looked over in one sweep with the faction.

Seems kinda dumb for objects made by a faction to exist if the faction isn't canonized first, though. Just my 2 cents.
 
That aren't canonised without the faction, though, as they are all labelled under the faction. So when he gets the faction approved, all these are sorta post dated approved.
 
I have merged these five submissions. In part, they are similar enough to all come under the same thread. In part, they carry similar questions.

For the record, the energy output is nice to see ... but it's not meaningful for anyone but the faction manager. Measuring energy outputs around this setting often feels like comparing apples to eyeshadow — the equation makes no sense.

I'd like to see the times that it takes to swap out these reactors from their respective ships. Does it require a full drydock? Also, what happens when you surpass peak output? Boom? Shutdown? Variable?

Lastly, to Legix's and Edto's discussion.

In this, SARP is an uncertain bag. We've reviewed technology submissions prior to their being a full faction, reviewed factions who have no tech and handled all-at-once submissions such as the Ersetu. It varies as to how we treat them.

I don't have any issue with reviewing this technology without the faction previously submitted. However, the reason for that is unique to the submitter. Arieg has a reputation, well earned and recognized, for creating a lot of tech without getting off the ground RP-wise. He's assured several people that it won't be like that this time around, but I maintain a natural skepticism. Arieg is aware of it and has been for years, so there's no surprises here.

I have reviewed these submissions using the Guide to Submission Reviewers.
