 The technology of Traveller is based on the science fiction of the 1970s, and even future tech feels a bit behind the times. The technology level scale that I use is based on the SciFi rules for Yags, which is a modernised view of things, but still keeping to a reign on the level of automation and singularity-type of technologies.
