    I love sci-fi designs so much more when whatever technology they have is completely illogical and looks like something completely fictional.

    I don’t want to see/read about futuristic vehicles that look like they took a modern vehicle and just gave it AI self-driving capabilities or planes that look like something you’d see made today.

      Case in point, the needler from Halo. The in universe lore is that they are basically magic crystals and even the covenant don’t know how it works.

      Hard sci-fi can be great, and Halo often goes a long way to explain things, but it knows when to just say “it’s magic, fuck off”
