What does Advanced Nanotech mean to a Jovian?
I'm going over the character creation rules and under the jovians disadvantages it lists
Quote:
Disadvantages: Must start with a Flat or Splicer morph, may not start with any nanoware or advanced nanotech
But when I was looking over the rules I discovered that there is quite a lot of different nanotech items. From Nanoware [collapse] Implanted Nanotoxin Medichines Mental Speed Nanophage Oracle Respirocytes Skillware Skinflex Skinlink Wrist-Mounted Tools [/collapse] to Nanodrugs [collapse] Frequency Gravy Schizo Petals (Trivial) Petals (Low) Petals (Moderate) Petals (High) [/collapse] to Nanotoxins [collapse] Disruption Necrosis Neuropath Nutcracker [/collapse] to every day Nanotechnology [collapse] Healing Vats Nanodetectors Desktop Cornucopia Machine Fabber Maker (low) Maker (moderate) General Hive Specialized Hive Ego Bridge [/collapse] to Nanoswarms [collapse] Cleaners Disassemblers Engineers Fixers Injectors Gardeners Guardians Proteans Saboteurs Scouts Taggants [/collapse] Should they all be banned for the Jovians? or just most of them?

Jovians live in a very strict society. All nanofabricators are government-controlled, and propaganda is generally accepted amongst the populous which convinces them to shun nanotechnology. They can get this tech, they just can't start with it (and they likely can't bring it home either).

I assume it's everything listed under the subheading of "Advanced Nanotech".

I cannot see the JJ accepting citizens getting nanoware, nanodrugs, nanotoxins, nanoswarms or most of the everyday nanotechnology - the only OK thing on the whole list is likely the nanodetector! Having clothes coloured by nanodots, diamond equipment or modern communications equipment is likely OK.
