While true, the Imperium does have a "TL-15" requirement for its front line active fleet units (IIRC, this was mentioned in CT somewhere), and given the designs from S9, this seems to be substantiated. I realize this is an old argument...but the technology dispersion just doesn't make any sense whatsoever given historical norms on how quickly a country can bootstrap itself or be built/rebuilt. -- Kurt Feltenberger xxxxxx@thepaw.org/xxxxxx@yahoo.com “Before today, I was scared to live, after today, I'm scared I'm not living enough." - Me
