If so would you like to give a brief summary?
I have two settings. Solar Storms and Silver Suns.
Solar Storms is a heavy science fantasy setting. The spirit could roughly be defined:
[qoute]
"When you meet God, how will you forge the path?
Shall it be extinction, like uncounted species before you?
Or will you tear open Time and Space itself, and step forward to greet the Maker?
What will you do?
Will to prostrate yourself, groveling like an insignificant worm?
Or will you stand proud, and meet the gaze of the Lord with unwavering eyes?
When the Creator speaks, will you tremble, or stand firm?
And when He asks you
'Why have you come?'
Will your answer be to beg for forgiveness?
...
Or will you declare your intent to overcome Him, and transcend the God of Gods?
And when you state this...
Will the Demiurge laugh at your impotence, and cast you into the pits of Hell like Lucifer before you?
Or will he and all the 'verse quake in terror at Your inevitable victory?

Silver Suns is strictly hard sci-fi, something I use for various one-off ideas about how humanity could expand into the stars without breaking any known laws. Silver Suns has vast light-sail exchanges, and eventually they repeat the FTL experiment on a much larger scale, enabling two-parsec radii devices, properly configured, to send FTL signals. They are far too sensitive, too time consuming, and too power-intensive to use to try to determine whether Relativity is wrong or Causality can be violated, however, which I like as a twist. They're used so people can get news from another galaxy in centuries rather than aeons.
The settings basically share a common history until an experiment...
Do you have FTL? how Fast?
...which attempts to recreate the inflationary field. In Silver Suns, the experiment basically fails, though a much more limited form of FTL communication (measured in the bits per second range, and requiring most of the harvestable power of a large star to do so) is eventually discovered, as described above.
In Solar Storms, it succeeds beyond all reason, tapping Humanity's desire for exploration and effectively granting its wish. Not just in the form of FTL travel (that actually takes much longer), but portals of various sorts get ripped open across the Solar System, and the storm eventually spreads across the Universe.
In neither setting is their any measurable speed. It takes time to properly encode or decode a signal (a decade in the case of Silver Suns), and in Solar Storms the Stargates must be established at light speed. Afterward, travel is effectively instantaneous. Ships capable of moving FTL on their own are rare, and literally require the setting's equivalent of magic in order to engage.
Do you have time Travel?
Not as such. In Silver Suns, reversing entropy is a long-term goal, which might count. In Solar Storms, it's possible to reverse time in a localized sphere, though only immensely powerful beings are capable of this on any meaningful scale.
Do you have some ancient race? Is it still around?
Eventually, humans qualify in both. There are races that are older than humanity, though in Silver Suns this has less meaning. None of those in the Milky Way survived to leave their planet, and those humanity encounters outside are little more advanced than humanity, and in some cases even less advanced in a few ways.
In Solar Storms it becomes a major story arc, as humanity, being a new 'awakened' race, must fend off the First. Fortunately the First have retained some flaws that humans outgrew, making it possible for humans and their allies to eventually force a truce.
Does your universes have psychic powers? Are humans psychic?
Solar Storms: The Multiverse has people who, once the 'verse recognizes them (no small task), can make wishes, and have them granted. The catch is you have to mathematically define exactly what you want, so with a few limited exceptions, until Humans and the First start duking it out, most magic that most species' see is limited to opening and closing portals. These exceptions become quite powerful in their own right, however.
Silver Suns: Well aside from being a transhuman setting in general and thus people communicate straight through radio, not really.
What's the most advanced power generation technology your universe has?
Silver Suns tends to stick to fusion and stellar harnessing, though harnessing black holes occasionally happens.
Solar Storms, at the high end, uses dimensional taps.
But they both use hydrocarbons for various tasks. Few power technologies have been completely obviated.
