Is the Tech Burner going to be for burning individual pieces of tech or tech levels for an entire world/species?

Hi Chris,
The Technology Burner is for creating individual pieces of technology, from weapons and vehicles to security systems, drones and robots of all sorts and anything in between.
A world’s level of technology is determined by the World Burner.
That’s a lot of ground to cover. Could you give us an example statblock? A handgun or a simple vehicle, maybe?

E-MAP Grenades - Low Index
Electro-Magnetic Area Pulse Grenades are explosives that can be used in the Close Combat and Suppressive Fire actions. Rather than causing damage, it locks down and neutralizes technological systems. An incidental hit subtracts -1D from any dice the device offers. A mark result subtracts 2D from any dice the technology grants. A superb hit subtracts 3D from the device’s systems. If the device doesn’t have any “dice,” like an assault laser, each die of “damage” generated nullifies one trait point. This weapon disperses a wave of energy across the battle space. No matter what its rating, cover counts as 1 against the E-MAP.
