@knuk
I'll be straight and say that my science fiction Ideas would make Halo and Mass effect look like carbon ceramic in comparison as "hard" sci-fi goes. So I bet you're in the clear, lol.

A lot of SFs' explanation is "It's the future" so you be fine with most of anything. But I'd be wary of blatant research failure still.

Tbf, it depends on how serious you are and how far you want to take it. If you want to make it into a full thing and get published with it, then like Mugi says, do a bit of background research, but have fun. We're not Alistair Reynolds (who I think was an actual astrophysicist). If not, just go with it and have some fun.

Okay...thanks peeps for the constructive advise.

My point ^^ If one needs to be an actual physicist to see flaws in your science you're waaaay more than fine enough. I myself make as hard as it can be while still having the cool stuff I want in it. Except the Valkyries, so far I don't really have an explanation for how they're so uber beyond "it's implied the tech to make them isn't exactly S&A's".

I consider my Sci-Fi to be around ST hardness. As in, I try my best with stuff here and there, but actual FTL travel is always going to be "space magic" compared to what we know right now. Plus transporters and replicators and all that jazz xD so. Btw I recommend reading Alistair Reynolds, his stuff is really good! Knukails - also, sorry if we're clogging this up a lil'. |

No no it's okay. I'll just post the story itself in an edit or something. |

Mine doesn't have FTL, just fractions of c. speeds, like subluminal ships travelling to the galactic core, even though that's only background fluff. There's matter replicators but only for one element at a time and teleportation is only molecular scale in labs.

Yet you have super tech that created the Harvester? xD No FTL? Is you story contained soley in the Sol system then?
It's cool if it is, mine's just gonna be much larger scale then even SW, I mean, Empries conquer mulitple Galaxy Clustere's and shit, travel to parallel universe and all sorts xD It'll be as hard as I can make it, but I offer myself no illusions that it'll be ultra realistic xD

It's supposed to be mostly on Earth with some bits on mostly moons of other planets and some other planets themselves. The Harvester became like that after coming back from being sent through an experimental wormhole-esque rift, before that she was still pretty hax but nowhere near that much.

I forgot about this, Shadow made me feel like adding on to it.
