What I don't like about too hard sci-fi is that, in it, everything is always fucked.mostly I just lament the loss of all the coolest parts of softer sci-fi, no exciting space battles because it's always flying scaffolds firing railguns from 10+ AUs away from each other and nobody uses fighters or even drones because they're slow, expensive, and worthless, no effective energy weapons because the power demands are unreasonable, no awesome hovertanks or powered armor because everybody will just kinetic strike planets back to the stone age instead of sending invasions down, no awesome grand space stations or ships because they're impractical and fragile, so on and so forth.Just like the original serious RP plan.
I guess our civilisation not turning into a highly corrupt place or a futuristic dictatorship just isn't realistic.
To me, Sci-Fi isn't about the things we think aren't possible, it is about the things that could be possible.
