Well, it is a Science Fantasy setting, so you pointed out - but that's not mutually exclusive with attempting to retain as much realism as possible - and   I always appreciate when they do. And it seems to be trending towards GW paying more attention to such things. They've finally moved ejection ports to the correct place on Bolt Rifles, the reason Space Marine Xiphons are only for Space Marines is because they're so fast and maneuverable the G-forces would make an unaugmented human unable to deal with the immense G forces, etc. I just wish there was a bit more standardization.

I always try to do my research for things like planets (for my Forge World Ferunus article I had to study global manufacturing quotas and capabilities, astrophysics, atmospheric science, chemistry, etc.). I was really happy with the result. I know it inspired a few others, and I hope it becomes the standard for us as a community.
