Faction Tiers

I say we could use the Civilisation tiers used by the Sci-fi wiki in order to classify our factions.
Another stated option would be the Tier System from Halo.
Anyone agree/disagree/something else?

I feel like there aren't enough tiers.
According to this, most of us are tier II civilizations, so I feel like there's no idea using said systems.

I like the ones from Halo better.

I think we should use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale but modified so that thee is also the decimal places EG: the C.T.I is a type 3.5

the Sci-fi wiki classification would be a modified version of the Kardashev scale, but with differing also based on technology and other factors and introduce Tier 0 (e.g. RL earth is tier 0, because it hasn´t fully explored its solar system.

This thread is to find out if we even need/want a civilisation categorisation.

BTW, I got the Idea of using tiers cince ninjakiwi has accomplished to get from Type 0 (sci-fi wiki)/ Low Tier 4 (Halo) to Type 1 (sci-fi wiki)/ Tier 3 (Halo)

Well the real earth has tier 0.7 according to some physicist so I think we should use both that and halo version eg: the C.T.I is type 3.5/tier 3

You mean Type 2.5
Type 3.5 would be ruler of the galexy and time travell in one faction.

Good point.

if we should use the sic-fi wiki tiers LJS would be the only one in tier three...

I think that counts as a necro.

I say don't bother with classifying factions, takes too much time and isn't really necessary, just stick with faction type and influence

None of this is necessary, and all of it takes too much time.

Yea. Plus its pretty fucking impossible to classify the warhammer40k tech tree.. Seeing as there is none to speak of. Since all or most tech is over 10,000 years old and very little tech is still able to be made. Most if not all is found.

And it is more magic than technology in some areas.

Not magic, science.

I think the Halo classifications work pretty well, but the actual classification of each faction is of some debate. For example, I'd place my civilization right at the border between I and II, and others would probably put it at a low 2 or high 3.
