Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | New technology is not cheap. There is a lot of associated costs to new technology. That is often used in stories as excuse not to just blow up rampaging technology, or to make an item more important as a setup to get it destroyed or rescued. This approach also allows to have some items better than others without making plot holes or contrived limitations like Super Prototype. Why not to simply have a whole lot of certain tech item—like just few flying suits rather than everyone in certain group having them? Not enough resources. Which art-wise makes a justification for the greater variety of used designs. And if the author ever decides to change designs, raise the stakes or avoid going too far with The Worf Effect or Redshirt Army, the mass upgrade "at last" improves the Continuity instead of taxing it. |
