Indeed, I had to login from work to actually see the article.
Personally, I'm not all that fond of it because it's not the way I did it/would do it in the future for my plot. Having an article like this existing would mean that my PCs would refer to it and assume my plot ran like that too. the whole thing wouldn't fit my own cosmetic preferences.
Past that bias, I think it's an excellently detailed article. It has detailed IC origin that make it quite plausible. I think it also does accomplish the goal of meshing the IC and OoC fairly well from a Yamatai faction perspective. So, despite my bias, I cannot not endorse the effort. Very well made and thought out.
As moderator, the only thing I'd like to see addressed is the mention of Shield/shield strength in the article. I'm trying to encourage a vocabulary where the commonly used term for energy forcefields is "barrier", so that the "shield" term be reserved to actual physical shields like we see on the Daisy power armor.
