I know a bunch of you play or run science fiction games out there, and I've recently become very interested in playing some. My question is how heavy is the science in some of these? I've usually avoided science fiction games because I'm a total science nut, especially in the areas of biology, genetics, and astronomy. Many of the "big name" science fiction games out there really just have the normal game mechanics in a futuristic setting. You're lucky if you get ships, but if you get ships, you usually can't land on a planet.

How much science do you guys have in the games you play or build? Are the builders in these games expected to have a scientific background? Lastly, is there a heavy science fiction game (RP required, please) that you would recommend?
