IMHO Space Opera is too broad it needs to be a subset like DF is a subset of fantasy.
Breaking it down
Bug hunt... basically Aliens versus predator
Distinctive TL,
powers,
Templates,
Narrow genre
Seems like there are third parties out there with competitor products too.
You can imagine something similar for Mecha or a space pilot/ ship to ship combat game.
I also think theres something to be said for a Firefly type treatment where the pcs are on the frontier.
