[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7926352, member: 15582"] For my two cents, a couple of reasons. Technically, 40k is science [b]fantasy[/b] with hyperspace going through hell and back again. And the company embraced it with psionics and demons and all that. The second is that BT tried to have an advancing story line while pretending to be "realistic" with their technology. And I get the strong impression did anybody holding the Bell tech license still wants to try to continue honoring that concept. Which is always going to be two steps behind extrapolating future developments from the technology of today. So while 40k has squeezed some recons in, the actual universe fictional tech and cultures hasn't changed for decades. Only recently has new/old tech been reintroduced to make new space Marines. YMMV, but I think the game needs a hard reset back to its roots. Make it a fast playing beer and pretzels game again set in a Mad Max meets Dune universe. [/QUOTE]
