Hi reading through the design sequences in the T20 rule book it seems that starship/spacecraft drives become available at tl-7, surely this must be late tech level 8 ot perhaps early tech level 9, as the drives described only require energy points and do not consume fuel. Can anyone clarify this for me, or does the tech level simply represent the earliest that these drives could be made at with the correct knowledge as opposed to the earliest they could be developed through scientific discovery (as i've always assumed the tech level charts indicate) It's just its hard to imagine a tl-7 society being able to create a reactionless drive without outside help let alone them becoming common place at that tech level.
Many Thanks
