In Response To: Re: The worst example is Floodgate (elpolloguapo) : I don't think that AVP is hard sci-fi... : You can't really do hard sci-fi with instantaneous communication : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_science_fiction Neither AVP nor Halo are truly "hard" SF. You can't do hard SF with FTL travel, either, since everything we know to date strongly indicates that it is either impossible or, at the very least, wildly impractical. It's also hard to have "hard" SF in a fictional universe where the most important objects work according to a principle that might as well be magic.
