What would you like to see?

If you could design your own SF setting, what would you like to see?

[Emote Control]

Just a minor caveat. If you post to this discussion, don't say what you *don't* want to see. Say what you do want.

My own ideas include

Psychohistory
Living Technology
Interstellar Internet with AI gods

[Admiral Griffith]

Submarine-style tactics (try not to be detected, and if you are, unload your torpedoes on them)
Armour instead of shields
realistic small-arms weaponry

Id like to see a story similar to Kafer Dawn in the roleplaying game 2300AD.
Of course that's not really an idea all my own. I would like to see ground combat, something we dont see much of in Sci-Fi.

Ground combat in sci-fi has the problem that it's mostly repeats of Vietnam (just like space combat is largely a duplicate of World War II or wooden-ship combat). But if you want ground combat:

Ground combat is common, because orbital weapons are too dispersed by atmosphere to make truly accurate targetting possible. Most of them take place in thick melees, with neither side daring to withdraw because once they're far enough away from their enemies the orbital forces will vaporize them.
