I do like me some hard scifi, though I tend to lean on farther future, to open the possibility for more genetic adaptations for different environments etc

Definitely agree with you, I find it has more opportunities for crreative/interesting tech ideas. I was thinking a basic framework would be a hard sci-fi equivalent to starwars, with the main storyline being focused upon a slightly shady freelance freight ship and her crew!
