Are you playing the game wrong? Not if you're having fun. However, it's a bit of a stretch to then claim to be playing in the cyberpunk genre. (Whether a game of Cy2020 played per the core rules of that game counts as being in the cyberpunk genre is entirely another question. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )In the same way, the ideas that were labelled 'wrong' (or, at least, the ones I suggested) might make for a really entertaining setting, but it probably wouldn't qualify as 'space opera'.Of course, I'm in the camp that, when faced with a choice between a setting that is more fun to game in, and one that is truer to genre, will take the more fun setting every time. Others may choose differently, as is their right. (Of course, there are also those that would choose one way most of the time, but sometimes be in the mood for something different. Which is also fair enough.)</blockquote>
