Technology Discussion; A place for OOC debate on TIO tech levels

With the desire to stay "Modern Tech", I recognize that this stymies technological advancement while maintaining a level RP field across the IO. To work within these bounds, many RPers (myself included) have taken to trying to come up with new ways to use established technology. As I have partook in tabletop RPG's for better than two decades, I am very familiar with the term "power creep" and understand that is a consistent challenge in any long term RP environment.

I created this thread so that people may discuss the technology levels and trends happening in the Independent Order. Feel free post any questions or concerns regarding my RP nation and it's technological advances. I myself have questioned certain advances in the past and indeed, questions I have raised led directly to changes in the way RP works here (There is a reason for the two week rule :P)

Anyway, I encourage all members to post tech questions and concerns here. To start it off I will give a brief rundown of what advances Seaforth is pushing the bounds with.


Double Hull Technology

Pretty simple this. It's a honeycomb double skinned hull that is very resistant to catastrophic (sinkable) damage. The individual honeycombs can be individually sealed off and pumped out or replaced. The material itself is a composite that was formulated in Technology City as part of the Seaforth Icebreaker Project.

City of Rhodesia

In lieu of a robust space program, Seaforth went underwater. I call it a city. It's more like a self sustainable facility of the ocean floor. Major tech here is the high pressure modules used in the contruction. Also there is geothermal power plant. Oxygen production is by electrolysis. All tech currently exists and is in use. City of Rhodesia is mainly there for marine research, power research and supporting the foreign space industry through A) A place to train and operate in EVA/airless environment, oxygen production and hydrogen fuel as a byproduct of the oxygen production.

Lyonesse

Built directly on top of Rhodesia, this city is built using the same technology as offshore oil rigs. Really not a city per se, but could expand to that in the decades to come. Lyonesse supports Rhodesia.


TALON Suits

This is the big one. I posted this back in July 2014 and in an effort to help keep the IO "Modern Tech", have left it in development ever since. In RP terms, 7 RL months means YEARS of IC development. I quite admit these suits are extreme and am quite content to let them sit in limbo forever, maybe announcing a test of a single component of the suit every now and then, but probably not.



As I said, I encourage everyone to use this thread to discuss any and all technology related questions or concerns.

The majority of the tech stuff I post is actually real stuff I just change the name of.

SSC HoneyBadger is SSC Bloodhound which is currently being built and predicted to go 1050mph.

WaterBadger is also a real life project which is going for the record in 2017

The Chameleon Tank is a prototype Polish tank built with BAE

Cyborg Class drone carrier is essentially a firgate with a V shaped flight deck on the back and a BAE concept.

I think you can actually get quiet creative with the tech we already have without needing "Sharks with frikking laser beams"
