IMO those aren't even really scifi games. Being in "space", and not even real space, is not enough to qualify. Though I have said before than quite a lot of scifi games and franchises would work just as well if not better as "Islands in the Infinite Sea" as "Planets in Space"

Personally I'd rather not have anything supernatural, but the only SF settings I've run in decades all have a bit of psi or chi or similar powers, because my players really like them. They want to play guys with cool powers.
