Hey I don't use "dylithium crytals" or anything that "hand wavy"
For that matter I didn't put any "throw away lines" about projectiles in my story just telling you
.
And for the most part I haven't mentioned anything "totally" unrealistic except maybe the shields but that's just subjective so you can't really just label mine "soft sci-fi" because you disagree with the one little bit about my shields and then turn around and say black holes being slung at people is 'hard' as that has to violate a whole lot more areas of physics then mine heh.
