Hello everyone!
I've made two important updates in the Tech Rules.
The first is more of an expansion/reminder of an existing rule, and that is to up the game on the Intent section. Basically, your Intent should contain all the OOC information of why it should be approved. What does it offer that other profiles do not? What role does it fill? I'm a lot more hesitant this timeline to approve tech profiles if the profile is for a single PC, especially if it doesn't serve a wider purpose or your PC hasn't earned it in the RP. If you want armor or a gun that just looks cool/badass/like a magical fairy unicorn, then use whatever image you want and make it a Generic Tech, provided it still follows the Generic Tech qualifications and the tech rules.
The Second is that I'm making it to any Indie Faction technology needs to be posted by the Indie FL, so there's no circumventing the 2 pending submission rule. This also makes it better so the FL isn't posting an entirely revamped profile in the thread that doesn't get used by the OP.
Now moving on to other news. I've been thinking about making a Technology FAQ, asking and answering questions like "why is Beskar banned; Why do you hate Mandos?" and "What about X ship/blaster/cursed chocolate nougat of death from wookieepedia? Can I use that?"
So if there are any common questions or uncertainties, or something you'd like mentioned that isn't mentioned in the Rules or T6 Technology threads, let me know here and I'll try my best.
On one final note, this hasn't happened yet, but once we get tech rulings in threads like "empion mines are banned" I'm going to maintain a running list of all such rulings so you all can see it.
