There has been an update to the FAQ - Item #20.

20: I have a Quantum 6 character, and want to create an effect/technique that would have a Quantum 6 requirement. How can I submit this for approval.

We debated long and hard on this one. In a narrative environment like this one, once Q6 is hit, certain liberties are expected; and codifying techniques, etc, becomes meaningless except to give OOC structure to ideas.

When a nova acquires Quantum 6, they are capable of feats that are quite literally god-like. When Mastery is tacked onto the power, this can be awe-inspiring and terrifying. Since most characters that have Quantum 6 are going to have relatively high dice pools in the relevant power to begin with, it seems a little unnecessary to clarify which effects require the difficulty and quantum modifiers the rules place on "non-known" techniques, especially in a narrative setting like this.

Henceforth, we will not be accepting submissions for any techniques for the "suite" powers that would require a Q6. We accept that the character is capable of performing the action, and it doesn't require director approval before using it. If you are concerned that your effect borders on the next Quantum level power (i.e., you have Elemental Mastery and the effect borders on the Authority level), you are welcomed to submit it to us to see it is outside of your character's quantum limitations. Since these abilities are more likely to appear in the Fiction section rather than the OpNet, it will need to be brought to our attention if the player base feels a player is abusing their character's Quantum 6 potential.

Otherwise, we are acknowledging the freedom of the authors to use dramatic license when applying Quantum 6 might to their characters in an environment where consent is the rule.
