Science of SGW

I'd like to begin by saying that this is one finest games i'v ever played online and i'd like to congradulate the admins and game players for their fair spirit.
I saw someone posting something about weapons and their peculiar names and i thought it would be much easier to understand the whole science of the game than just the selective few.So,here it is:
The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement. The scale is only theoretical and in terms of an actual civilization highly speculative; however, it puts energy consumption of an entire civilization in a cosmic perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev. The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. These are based on the amount of usable energy a civilization has at its disposal, and the degree of space colonization. In general terms, a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system, and Type III of its galaxy.The human race is a level 0 on the scale, we use a small percentage of the resources that we have.Essentially,ALL the races of stargatewars are of level 2 or above.The ascended ones are level 3.
The player starts with minimal resources,in naquadah and an UP of 1 per turn.naqadah is used in anything from building starships to building the smallest guns.The weapons are:
Hand Weapon : The pistol of the ancients,highly efective one on one.It is a base weapon used for light defensive battles.
Projectile Weapon : A more advanced weapon that is given to people performing some sort of guard duty or in any way a task that involves the creation of a possible dangarous situation.
Mounted Weapon : An offensive weapon that is mounted on light vehicles or turrets.Used for light combat or training.
Energy Weapon : A medium weapon used for assaulting,engaging certain objectives that are not hard to take on.
Channeled Energy Cannon :The first heavy utility weapon,used in firefights.It has the ability of striking multiple foes
Equipped Military Division :Hard trained soldiers that have fought many battles.Used for striking opponents and watching bases burn.
Equipped Military Fleet :A drone weapon used for orbital strikes.Very effective with imediat resultes.
A type 2 civilazation uses its collective power to harvest resources from planets.In sufficiently large number of stellar systems, absorbing a small but significant fraction of the output of each individual star.
Hope its somewhat satisfying.I'll make a more detailed explination in the ascended forum for the ascended only.Anyone who would like to see it and doesn't have acces to the forums PM me.Also this is my interpretation only,if you find this silly or in any way a waste of time please,don't say anything
Thank you
