Real Life Technology Claims and Custom Equipment

Roleplayers may apply to be the origin of existing military technology from IRL Nations, as a matter of expediency and consistency. Additionally, Roleplayers with strong enough economies and sufficient needs may develop their own custom equipment, either fully derived from another nation's claimed equipment or fully independently. The Military Factbook Template is linked below.

Custom Collaborative Projects

It is recognized by the mod team that certain modern technologies require an incredible amount of resources and development. That often single non-superpower countries have been shown to have great difficulty with perfecting and affording. Thus, in order to balance custom equipment, we've locked certain technologies behind GDP and other requirements. Requiring and encouraging the procurement of advanced equipment to be international projects.

  1. Fifth-Generation Aircraft:

    Requirements
    At LEAST Two contributing nations and a combined GDP of $21 Trillion


  2. Sixth-Generation Aircraft:

    Requirements
    At LEAST four contributing nations and a combined GDP of $42 Trillion

Technology Readiness Levels

Technology readiness levels (TRLs) are a method for estimating the maturity of technologies in RP. TRLs are based on a scale from 1 to 9 with 9 being the most mature technology. The movement of technology between levels may be appealed to and left to the mod team. Considerations for a nation or an international research organization to mature technology to a higher level are GDP, Budget dedicated to civilian research, and percentage of a military budget dedicated to R&D(10-15%, Max.).
