Over time I will be posting some rambling thoughts on the technology used by "my" Canal Martians, in particular, and as it trickles down to the other denizens of the Red Planet. Obviously I'll be mostly be looking at the technology used in warfare, but you can't totally divorce that from more peaceful pursuits.
As stated before, I do like to follow a great deal of the Space:1889 descriptions of society and technology (so liftwood is definitely in!). However, and unsurprisingly, Mr Chadwick had to be a bit sparing on some of the details. Some ideas did pop up in various TRMGS publications and in some of the published scenarios, but I just wanted to add a bit more colour to help me picture the Martian way of life.
Rather than creating a long thesis I will probably just jot down ideas as they occur to me. With a bit of luck they might even be internally consistent, but I'm not holding my breath. There is far less chance of them being scientifically viable, so I apologise in advance to the more practically-minded out there.
