That excludes 99% of mainstream scifi. No Trek, no Wars. I'd consider B5 hard science fiction... so maybe that's a good thing. :)
Of course, his explanation says the game will also have hyperlight drive because he can't implement time-dilation, and cloaking devices, so it's probably going to be fairly soft for hard sci-fi. So much for my short-lived dream of dealing with a gimbal-locked rotating section while I try to turn a ship.
