Re: Science or Fiction?
"science fiction makes the implausible possible, while science fantasy makes the impossible plausible" -- Rod Serling.
I'm not saying there's a clear line between the two, because there's not. But the majority of futuristic muds I've seen tend to lean more towards what I'd consider "science fantasy" - for example the Star Wars muds with lightsabres and the Force.
Invisibility (cloaking devices), teleportation, faster-than-light space travel, bizzare monsters, time travel, etc...IMO Star Trek contains many elements of science fantasy.
