| Jan 24, 2020 at 20:58 | comment | added | Gibdos | @AlexP No rockets either. Haven't entirely worked out if it makes sense, but I'm assuming the the power system led to certain weapons systems not being developed (or if developed, abandoned due to having a better, non-trechnological alternative). | |
| Jan 24, 2020 at 20:53 | comment | added | AlexP | What about rockets? Do you intend to outlaw rockets too? Asking because during WW2 the Germans made 5,200 V-2 ballistic missiles... I cannot imagine a powerful rich nation going through several wars and not developing advanced weapons platforms. | |

| Jan 24, 2020 at 20:08 | comment | added | Gibdos | @jdunlop That's a good point. Do you have any other avenues that would make more sense? | |

| Jan 24, 2020 at 19:48 | comment | added | jdunlop | Not a complete answer by any means, but I would say that major powers being at war would do the opposite of what you want. Airplane development was accelerated by world wars, not retarded. | |
