I'm throwing this question open to the general populace here. There are, apparently, some SF afficianados who think that any updating or modernization of the state of SF represents an offence against "hard science".<br /><br />While I do get that SF has a certain "feel", such as the "no artificial gravity fields" idea, and I support that, apparently in the opinion of some, fusion tech in general, or the idea that a tracked vehicles that perform the same role as a wheeled one are of the same type some how is the same thing as introducing "lightsabers" and "Star Trek" into the game. Oh, and computer data exchange is still limited to the old DARPA-net level of capability (so "No Internet for you!").<br /><br />At the same time, hand-held lasers that can actually hurt you operating off a power source the size of a pack of cigarettes, and AI robots are just fine, because they're "canon".<br /><br />Am I the only one that finds such a rigid, dare I use the term "canon-Nazi" approach a bit "Wha?"
