Other less radical futuristic technologies, such as artificial intelligence, energy shields and advanced nanotechnology, are also generally absent or downplayed.
A handful of exceptions, notably faster-than-light interstellar travel and superluminal communication, depend on purely fictional or speculative principles.Įntirely absent from BattleTech are such science fiction staples as teleporters, time travel and alien tech. The principles of other common BattleTech equipment such as Gauss rifles, directed-energy weapons and sonic weaponry are also understood, though as yet undeveloped. The fusion reactors that power many BattleTech machines are the subject of current research, while the myomer muscles used to animate robotic articulations exist as electroactive polymers.
BattleTech conveys a sense of realism through a depiction of future technology that, though a thousand years removed from that of the modern world, has much of its foundation in accepted science.
