I prefer hard science fiction. However, given that, I don't consider it 
to be science fiction unless it's actually about the technology and how 
people react to it. If you could take the story about war between worlds 
with blasters, and set it down as war between countries with revolvers, 
it isn't science fiction. On the other hand, if it's about how 
technology affects people, even old technology then I'd call it science 
fiction. Stories of how medieval peasants deal with the first knights in 
armor would be SF in my book.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
