One of these days, I must work out the details of my idea for a highly variant TS(-style) setting in which all activity in space beyond LEO is performed by infomorphs.

Of course, many of the sort of people who like TS would hate this with a passion. But it would actually stress my own suspension of disbelief a lot less than most space-RPG settings.
