Aether's become reasonably widespread by this point, both Nepleslia and the NDC have to have the ability to produce Aether technology I believe. The NDC's Noval produces some Aether drives, piggybacking off of the widely available Origin IAPD, and Nepleslia has the Checkmate.
- Aether tech (Debatable as I think it's fairly widespread in Yamatai and the more widespread something is the harder it is to keep a lid on it.)
That's true and fair, though it's also true that it's been around for a very long time and it'd be strange for other nations to not have started working on their own systems, even if they weren't as good as modern Yamataian teleporters. We can maintain an OOC lockdown on it, but Char's point is relatively solid about technological trickle-down after near on 20 years. IRL is a decent example of that kind of thing.Teleportation has always been a Yamatai faction staple. It’s a highlight of the Mindy’s capabilities, and teleporting PAs is one of the faction’s defining combat hallmarks.
I think decades-old OOC restrictions are not great because they a) needlessly stifle creativity and b) don’t make a whole lot of IC sense. Also, what the heck is a “Red Yamatai” and a “Green Yamatai”?Everyone wants to be Green Yamatai and Red Yamatai when we got Yamatai right here. I think OOC restrictions are great. They keep the Star Army in Star Army Dot Com.
I, as a GM, former FM, and occasional mass wiki contributor would also like more than just because on some things if that becomes a thing.If we acknowledge that OOC restrictions on what would otherwise be sensible and logical IC progression of technology help to maintain factional identities (Not wrong, even if it's stifling), and we've constructed a list of technologies that will stay locked to Yamatai on an OOC basis, I think it follows that we should include in any page detailing Restricted Technologies page technology that's restricted to other factions.
Telelporters aren’t on that list, though…Guys, the list that answers this question is literally linked in the OP.
