Again, though, my experience is that it's usually inserted as ancient alien tech and the devices are not usually referred to/described using Star Wars/Star Trek type terminology. That works fine for me because in that context, it adds to the mystery and uncertainty of the mood - it's not disruptive. Nobody in my group would mind stumbling on a strange, moss covered smooth metal thing, shaped like an egg.. but I think people would have a problem if I said, "So, you find an interplanetary space cruiser, but the hyperdrive is clearly broken." Pictures of mixed-settings (like the one at the beginnig of this thread) don't really convey how the material's presented, which may explain why some folks have such knee-jerk negative reactions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
