True, true, but I wouldn't mind a MORE realistic future milieu.
Otherwise it's space cowboys with six-guns and interstellar horses.  :-)

I've seen Trav stuff where people talk about air/rafts as if they were
ground cars.  They're much more like ultra-stealthy highly maneuverable
helicopters with enough endurance to stay up for DAYS.  That is very BAD.
When we introduce high tech weapons & stuff into something, we have
to give thought as to how they're gonna get used and how effective they
are going to be.  A Grav tank has about as much relation to an M-1 Abrams
Main Battle Tank as an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter does to a man
carrying a large stick.
