Scientific Advancement - As it is. Certain technologies require appropriate levels of Scientific Advancement.
The laws of Physics are immutable. Any technology that transcends them is forbidden. So no FTL, Time Manipulation, Infinite Energy/Matter, Alternate Universes, and the like. Contact Samasbhi if you're uncertain of where your technology lies.

1 to 50 : Basic Tech
51 to 100 : Moderate Tech
101 to 150 : T1 Modern Tech (Cold War)
151 to 200 : T2 Modern Tech (Millennial)
201 to 250 : T1 Near Future Tech (Prototyping and small scale testing)

800 to ∞ : Stagnant Singularity. (Highest tech penetration and scale. No further advancement possible.)

Legend :

• Primitive — Everything until the Industrial age, 2650 UC (350 BCE) onwards.
• Basic Tech — Comparable to RL WW1.
• Moderate Tech — Comparable to RL WW2.
• Modern Tech — Equivalent to RL Cold War for T1 and Millennial Tech (you're witnessing this era IRL) for T2.
• Near Future Tech — Viable tech that is being researched now; the technology being prototyped or better. Expected to be operational in 40 years or less.
• Intermediate Future Tech — Plausible Hypothetical Concepts. Prerequisite technology exists. Estimated to be invented in 100 years or less.
• Far Future Tech — Implausible yet believable Hypothetical Concepts. Not sure of viability, since based on NFT & IFT inventions, but has proposed approaches.
• Technocracy — FFT, but on the spacefaring and global scales. Technology permeates most aspects of life.
• Singularity — You are the Technology. Having reached the pinnacle, the focus has shifted to other aspects such as global welfare, world philosophy, or stability.[/box]

Revised "Tech" timeline

Using the World War era, a total of thirty one years (rounded down to 30), as a baseline, use 100 SA for each "tech era" of the RMB RP.

1914 - 1945 = Basic and Moderate Tech
1945 - 1975 = T1/2 Modern Tech (Cold War/Millennial)
1975 - 2005 = T1/2 Near Future Tech (Prototype/Commercial)
2005 - 2035 = T1/2 Intermediate Future Tech (Prototype/Science-Military)
2035 - 2065 = T3 IFT/T1 Far Future Tech
2065 - 2095 = T2/3 Far Future Tech
2095 - 2125 = T1/2 Technocracy
2125 - 2155 = T3 Technocracy/Stagnant Singularity

Seems pretty simplistic, no? It does take into account the Kudzu effect where NS allows you to skyrocket your SA to ludicrous levels in just six months, never mind the amount of progress you can make in a year and more. So a different sort of scale is needed, one that doesn't assume SA is like playing a video game where progression is a natural consequence of picking the right choices. Because, in real life, our technological rate of advancement is very unique. For the majority of human history, we were stuck at -∞ to 0, or basically "primitive" tech, never mind that this primitive tech laid the foundations for everything that came after it.

The first one was a logarithmic scale. Here's an exponential scale by the power of two and ascending. Here things will get weird. Using the World War era, a total of thirty one years (rounded down to 30), as a baseline, use 100 SA for these tech eras of the RMB RP.

1914 - 1945 = Basic and Moderate Tech
1945 - 1975 = T1/2 Modern Tech (Cold War/Millennial)
1975 - 2005 = T1/2 Near Future Tech (Prototype/Commercial)

Now instead of adding 30 after each tech era, multiply them. For Intermediate Future Tech and T1 FFT, double 30 to 60.

2005 - 2065 = T1/2 Intermediate Future Tech (Prototype/Science-Military)
2065 - 2125 = T3 IFT/T1 Far Future Tech

For the rest of FFT, double 60 to 120.

2125 - 2245 = T2/3 Far Future Tech

Double 120 to 240.

2245 - 2485 = T1/2 Technocracy

Lastly, double 240 to 480.

2485 - 2965 = T3 Technocracy/Stagnant Singularity

All in all, we have almost a thousand years of technological progression, relatively speaking, if we're going by real-world scale. Most sci-fi takes place during the 22nd-25th centuries, so the imagination is the limit, but limitations regarding exactly what kind of OP tech still apply, because Arembia's resources are finite.

1914 - 1945 = Basic and Moderate Tech
1945 - 1975 = T1/2 Modern Tech (Cold War/Millennial)
1975 - 2005 = T1/2 Near Future Tech (Prototype/Commercial)
2005 - 2065 = T1/2 Intermediate Future Tech (Prototype/Science-Military)
2065 - 2125 = T3 IFT/T1 Far Future Tech
2125 - 2245 = T2/3 Far Future Tech
2245 - 2485 = T1/2 Technocracy
2485 - 2965 = T3 Technocracy/Stagnant Singularity

My fighters don't use them anyway, they fire infection rounds into enemy spaceships to start assimilation of the enemy crew.

The point of the system is to also turn boys into men, which helps with creating strong workers ans warriors, thats why PE is a necessary component of the system.
