There has been way too much powergaming in Lazarus in the last couple of weeks, for my liking. Whole fleets appearing out of thin air, seemingly everyone and their mother having advanced spacefaring technology and small, newly-formed nations possessing military forces capable of rivaling even the largest and most established nations.

Everyone is, of course, free to play their nation however they like, and give it a technological, military, scientific or even magical edge. But when intending to RP with others, make sure to keep things balanced. The default "setting" for Laz Map RP is "modern/slightly post-modern", so most nations will technologically be in the 1970 to 2050 period. A strong divergence from this should be restricted to pre-arranged RP or exercised in a primarily passive way.

Fair enough. I am willing to dial things back for the sake of fitting in.
