Re: Semi-OT: A question on Power Ratios in Sci-fi
Well I sort of stick mainly to humans only in my story as you can tell, I only had three "Xeno" species and they were primtiive compared to the comparable humans (I don't know why but thats how it worked in the game so it was great for my story) and if and when I right a book set in the latter "Fourth Empire" Icarans and they encounter aliens they'll probobly be roughly equal to Icarans.
Though one thing I would have is a "give and take" technological "equality" for example the Icarans have good weapons while the Xenos might have excellent drives considering unlike Star Trek I doubt every race would be researching along the same lines as one another forever.
