Will technology in the Persistent Universe evolve and expand as the game gets older, just as it does in the living world?asked by Luke Downing

The answer on this one was yes. He didn't expound upon it a lot, but he was talking about the different versions of ships over the years, which happens with cars. Everything evolves, so why should we be any different?

Yeah, the idea here is that the game is going to always be growing. We'll always be adding things in, so that means technology and that means everything will be changing over time. New stuff to discover.
