Star*Drive: Aside from FTL Comms, it's level/type of space opera is fairly well covered by Traveller, Alien, Coriolis, GURPS: Space, and a dozen other settings with different rulesets.Why do Star*Drive and Dark•Matter keep getting forgotten in these discussions? They’re not bad settings. They haven’t been completely driven into the ground like Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien, etc have been.
I’m completely jaded and disillusioned with scifi, but Star*Drive is one of the only settings I can still muster any interest in. It’s a Y2K era space opera sandbox written during the last few years when humanity was still optimistic about the future. I wish more people appreciated it. It’s lonely out here.
And given the extremely negative views of Alternity which predominate... that it's for Alternity isn't a benefit for most, either.
It was an essential setting for Alternity, but it's not distinct enough to be worth porting for most.
Dark Matter: Never even looked at it. No clue there.
