Remove Nanotechnology from the Restricted Tech section.

[Taa Nul]

I'd like to request it be removed from the list due to the simple fact it only got banned because one idiot went and made himself over-powered using it with very little canon backing, if any. It isn't really fair restricting it for the actions of one individual when there are plenty of far more harmless uses for such technology.

[member="Count Morcus"] - I'm going to ask why? 90% of the tech apps that fit into the Star Wars setting and universe can easily be done under a different name, or guise/tech type, without calling it nanotech, and work utterly the same. And the 10% that don't are predominantly over powered or don't follow cannon or don't fit into the setting.

So why bring it back? What benefits does it offer by being brought back, and what negatives does it inflict with not being around, that aren't overcome easily as I pointed out above.

Just my personal questions.

1) There's so much tech in Star Wars why do you feel Nanotechnology needs to be implemented as well. There are things in the star wars universe that does the same of what you're looking for without the fancy name of "Nanotechnology"

2) What benefits are there to "nanotechnology" that isn't already available with other forms of technology already in the given Universe

3) How is this being banned taking away from the ability to create things in the factory?

There's nothing in your original post that states anything beyond the fact that "Its not fair" . I need solid information to even think about removing it from the banned list. In my opinion, Nanotechnology isn't star wars, and there are other options you can use that do the same exact thing that you're probably attempting to do. You just have to do a bit of research on the matter.

I support this request.

Can we add Popo's gas to the banned technology list?

It is cruel and unusual.

 

[Seraphina Shel'tah]

Just call it millitechnology or microtechnology

 

[Allyson Locke]

[member="Captain Larraq"] I'll take it into consideration.

I agree... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

[member="Spencer Jacobs"] - B..But why? It's all dark and twisted and I like it in here... Much safer than inside my head, what with all the Squirrel Jedi and Sith Clowns in there...

There are things in Star Wars pointed out as nanotechnology. It's not a huge aspect of the franchise.

Yet taking the ban literally, a few things from the Clone Wars series would not be allowed. Specifically:

• Obi-Wan Kenobi morphs his face to Hardeen
• Microscopic droids are used to turn a person into a bomb

Thank you for answering my question, with this information I'll look into it

 

[Taa Nul]

I was going to give a few similar reasons but the others summed it up for me. It's been used before a few times in the canon. xP

Edit: Plus I'm assuming it'd be used for more medicinal purposes, like repairing damaged muscle tissue and nervous systems.

I do like the cosmetic aspect. Just finished re-watching that Episode. I wouldn't see how that would be considered abusive if applied correctly and within moderation.

Just means you have to trust the community to use what we call common sense when applying it.

I could also see someone using an NPC as a bomb for a plot device - again, if not abused.

All of that opens up a plethora of stories to be written, etc.

Cosmetics you say? I sense profit. *Dollar sign eyes*

Instead of it being an outright ban, why not make it a restricted material in some cases and a ban on say something like a nano-superweapon or something that would be too OP? Nanotech in something like the medical field or tracking devices and such I think would be fine, but there would need to be limits.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Restrict the more overpowered uses but reopen the avenues to everything else. It'll open up HEAPS of opportunities for folks.

I've already got development threads for a nanotech thing.... I think the key isn't to ban all nanotech but to look at what it does in Star Wars compared to other fiction. In a lot of other fiction Nanotechnology is just dumb and is this like be all and end all of technology.

Anyways the shtick of this character is like 50% based on Nanotechnology. Mechnu-deru vitae which uses Nanogene spores which is nanotechnology. It's what this character does, and how I do it and plans to develop it is no more overpowered or outside of lore than anything else that happens on this forum.

Cell regeneration is the portion that is the problem. Ultimately - people have to use common sense.

I doubt that means Aaralyn needs any facial adjustments, boob lifts, tummy tucks - augmentation of any kind. Tend to believe in my little land of imagination that she is rather fit for a mother of three. XD

She doesn't prance around for credits to entertain others - she isn't a Twi'lek. ^_^


However, she does sleep with/and is married to a Mandalorian - so feel free to ask him if any of that holds true. [member="Falcon Gyndar"].

 

[Allyson Locke]

[member="Taeli Raaf"] Something in the medical field was what sparked discussions for the ban. The writer iirc, wanted it to be cell regenerative to the point of immortality. I'd have to dig out the thread to read it again to give you actual quotes.
