| − | Postmodern Tech is a [[tech level]] halfway point between [[Future Tech]], or "Far Future Tech", and [[Modern Tech]].

Allows roughly up until the invention of FTL travel, Teleportation, or another "rule-breaking" technology. A fickle category, but one that is popular on the [[forums]], as it allows creativity while reins in the temptation to construct Star Armadas - something that some players consider [[godmodding]].

| − | Weapons used in space combat roleplayed in these eras tend to include such categories as early [[Particle beam weapon|particle beam weapons]], kinetic weapons (especially mass drivers and reaction-driven missiles), electromagnetic weapons (lasers). The concept of defensive energy "shielding" also tends to take a back-row seat compared to [[Future Tech]] capabilities.
