The Tech Boards will close on September 30th

What does that mean for me?

Well as you all know the timeline will be ending later this year; we only have a few months left. This means that the admin team is going to be increasingly busy getting things ready for the reboot. I will be working on revamping the tech rules, approval process, among other things that will take time away from reviewing tech. In order to make it easier on myself, I will be closing the tech boards to new submissions, starting Sept. 30th.


What does that mean for you?

It means that until then, I will be giving priority to Faction Tech over the rest of the submissions. It also means that if there is tech that you need approved, remind me here, or post the submission before it is too late. Anything not approved by Sept. 30th will be archived. There have been some pretty awesome and clever submissions, and I'm eager to see what you all come up with next timeline. If you have any questions regarding the closing of the tech boards, please ask them here and I will do my best to give an answer. Thank you.

@Clayton Ive had a bunch of tech sitting on the board for a while. Could you look over them and see what I need to change, if anything?

I'd just like to point out that at this stage we are currently also planning on closing the planets and species boards at this time as well. With the timeline wrapping up and a major reboot happening, we want members to be focusing on ending their story lines rather than submitting new content that will only exist for a month or two.

The fact that it also frees up our admins to work on the major overhaul needed to some sections of the boards is more of a bonus, really.

When things reboot are we allowed to carry over tech from this timeline into the new one to submit again?

Can we submit EU/Legends material for approval in the Tech/Planets/Species threads after the reboot?

Just to expand on what Clayton said, keep in mind in the opening post he mentioned that he'll be working on overhauling guidelines and the approval process. We're not talking minor tweaks here, we're talking about completely changing what is acceptable tech and how to submit it. So simply copying and pasting an old tech submission for re-approval won't work, because tech in general will be completely different to what it is now.

I understand, I knew anything I moved over I'd need to adjust to fit the new guidelines.

I understand, it was more so I know if I can carry over the general concept of a piece of tech and tweak it to fit the new guidelines.
Oh sure, that's fine, I just want to clarify that it's not going to be so simple as a copy and paste or whatever - we're looking at some pretty drastic changes to the tech boards, which we'll go into detail about at a later date. Just try to keep in mind that simply because something was approved in this timeline, there's no guarantee whatsoever that it'll be approved next timeline, because we're having to make some pretty major changes to tech in the process of the reboot.

No problem, I can always edit it to fit the new timeline and just use the current design as a basis to build from.

I, for one, wouldn't be terribly butthurt if this all just went away.

Any word on what the new TL will be? I know it'll be in the new Disney canon, but when will it be? I think we have some room to play around with as far as revamping EU stuff goes (a plausible Old Republic universe for example) that we should really take advantage of.

Will all the tech get wiped and made into a clean slate?

Such details won't be released for some time. We would like for people to focus on the current timeline.


Secret admin rule of thumb: each time we are asked about the next timeline we subtract a chiliad. We are not afraid to put up Stone Age Star Wars as the sixth timeline.

People would still find a way to abuse the shit out of the tech board.

That actually sounds like a really good idea
