Ive always wondered about this, surely some better tech would have been advanced/evolved somehow past the 50's..
Technology, research, ideaology etc doesnt just stop in one time frame, surely it would have advanced past the old tech terminals we see into something better, even if not by the standards of today or even better of today..
Dont get me wrong, its add character to the game and is a generally good touch, i just thought with in 100 odd years, with the state of Laser Guns, Fussion batterys, Power Tech Armour, Super Intelligent AI robots etc, surely this would have aided in development into that part of it, even before the great war they were building huge valuts within a small amount of years..
I dunno, maybe im looking at it through frosted glass.. All seems slightly lacklustered to me..
