of higher TL developments, and may well attempt to use different
lower tech means to reach what would usually be considered a higher
tech end - Like a gasoline powered cargo submarine.
Just because it wasn't built in real world history, does not
necessarily mean that it could not have been built in an alternate
timeline..
3E TL5 ranges from 1701 to 1900. There is a world of
difference between those two extremes. Just consider
1860s and 1890s warships.
Agreed.
I didn't realize TL5 was so long a time-period, I just instinctively
thought 'wild west'. I stand corrected. 200 years of technological
development is a lot..

needs you today!' .. So I came out and gave the blood sample. Now,
Earth needs me again.."
