- | Beginning | + | The primary indicator |
- | Cities are very much like early 21st century, but air cars are beginning | + | Orbital based industry, commerce and recreation will begin to move into orbit. Sizeable space stations, with some presence on most worlds in the system. If there is a belt, massive mining |

=== 10 (A) - Fusion === | === 10 (A) - Fusion === | ||
- | Phasing out of fossil power almost complete as fusion becomes available and practical on a large scale. | + | Cities are starting to take gravity manipulation into account for large scale planning. Car parks only accessible via the roof will be common. Small scale floating buildings will be possible, powered |
- | Cities are power hungry, climate engineering or terraforming becomes common. Space travel is easy, travel across the planet is trivial even in private transport. | + | Cost of power will plummet to allow cheap electricity, so power usage increases dramatically. Many ground vehicles rely on anti-gravity. |
- | Anti-gravity technology | + | Larger free standing holographic images means full window displays, or holographic statues for art of entertainment in plazas. Use of fossil power is almost completely dead, with everything running off electric. |
+ | |||
+ | Climate engineering or geoforming becomes common. Space travel is trivial, a lot of heavy industry has moved to orbit and for garden worlds massive mining is done off-world for ecological reasons. | ||
Cybernetics is becoming common and good quality, though still mostly limited to medical reasons. | Cybernetics is becoming common and good quality, though still mostly limited to medical reasons. | ||
- | Larger freestanding holographic images are possible, models in shop window | + | 100% communication coverage on a world is pretty common, unblocked by buildings |

+ | === 12 (C) - Sophisticated Robots === | ||
- | === 12 (C) - Robots === | + | Cheap power and efficient gravitics means that it's just as easy to build a flying building as it is one sat on the ground. Cities may be a mixture of tower blocks and floater plates carrying whole districts. Realistic looking holograms can be used for advertising or art. |
+ | Travel across a world, and into orbit, is trivial and common place. Commuting to orbit (or to ground) on a daily basis is not unusual. Grav belts are easy to obtain, the only thing restricting their use is that it's far more comfortable to sit in an air car. | ||
+ | Cybernetics is reliable, and looks just like the real thing. Skill augmentation is possible, and people will be seen with head jacks for plugging in new skills. | ||
+ | Humanoid robots are becoming practical, though they are obviously robotic in nature. They are more often housed in military or industrial shells rather than true humanoid shells. | ||
