Phazon. Dear god I want to get rid of this. "Phazon is canon" was funny exactly once. It either needs to be removed, or replaced with a plausible alternative.
Second is changes to the avali. First off, being nomadic and having a supercomputer capable of calculating everything sent to it instantly are practically mutual exclusives. One needs to go and I know which one you all will pick.
Second, the augmented reality is over-powered. It can completely simulate a situation, any situation, with little cost. Full sensory augmentation needs to have massive issues attached or AR is going down the tube with it.
Third, they need an outset as a faction. The Hylotl Empire are tech nerds who want to create a technology nirvana, Kineptics just want monastery-like peace and isolation for themselves, the United Worlds want to be the betterment of the minor races... what outset should the avali have? Keep in mind this will change how they act.
1. Phazon was canon? What? When did this come up? I don't recall. Was it important? I hope not.
2. Supercomputer: Nope. That is kind of OP.
3. I don't see how AR is a problem. Augmented Reality is fine, hell, we in reality here are close to it. As long as we don't have AR that can somehow map out an entire building the moment the user enters it and stuff like that it should be fine.
Virtual Reality on the other hand with full sensory signals and the like would be harder. Of course it is also virtual and as a result I don't see why this is overpowered. Virtual is virtual, i.e. not real.
4. Do all Avali have to be part of a single faction? That seems stupid, especially given their pack nature, I imagine different packs would crop up with different beliefs. Just because everyone else has a sector-spanning-empire doesn't mean everyone needs to. Maybe the Avali are often picked on by the larger more organized groups because of their scattered nature? I dunno.
0. Everyone seems to be saying they like CF Forums better.
1. It was the reason why Galaxion was a clone (Remember that? Anyone?) and was the reasoning behind the existence of the GUARDIANs.
2. That totally wasn't the answer I was expecting, but hell, why not.
3. So VR dies and AR stays. I'm down with this perspective.
4. They were defined as one before. It was more sort of a loose definition of their claim to that area of space, though. Note that being separated into packs doesn't mean they can't have a global outset.
