The Long March, Sci Fi

Yeah, sure. I'm not saying it's wrong. Just, if someone asks whether or not it will be realistic, don't say it will be realistic if it really won't be. It's misleading.

By realism, I mean that consequences exist for stuff. Blowing up a planet will be bad for PR.

What even is realism, and what would it be in relation to this?
People want it but everyone seems to have a different definition.

Realism is when things in general obey the rules of reality.

For example, combat mechs are fairly popular in sci-fi. But realistically, they would be dogshit. They only work because writers want it to work.

And as I said, I wasn't specifically requesting realism. I just wanted to be sure which direction we're going with.

Ooookay. I thought there was enough context to realize we were talking about military equipment, but I guess not. I'll have to clarify more next time I want to ask something.

So be it.

I just want to make a fun and cool setting for people.

Unrelated, but you might want to post the invite for the discord server at some point. Also, sent you my sheet. Sorry if it isn't the best, still getting used to the new computer.
