Actually, this is about a book series.
I put this here as it is a sci-fi series featuring quite realistic technology and some of the Devs (especially the Boss, Mackeroth) do like being realistic and balanced.
I am talking about the "Revelation Space"-series by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Reynolds]Alastair Reynolds[/url].
Especially the book [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redemption_Ark]Redemption Arc[/url], is good for inspiration, as it features a lot of tech usually not found in sci-fi.
Like near-speed-of-light travel.
It has many Ideas to fill the gap between yay-we-can-shoot-rockets-age and lol-my-shield-is-powered-by-a-self-made-ZPM-age.
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_in_Revelation_Space]Here[/url] you can see some of the interesting stuff they made.
Hell Class Turret FTW! (Note: A Hell Class weapon seems to have a power ranging from MAC-level to Superlaser-level, so they might be on the more later tech side or even be restricted to the Moderator Faction that is talked about that much)

I'm actually reading Revelation Space right now. The hell-class weapons are pretty OP compared to what I think we're shooting for, but it's definitely an interesting series. I'm not sure if this thread belongs here or in Off-Topic, but I'm leaving it here for now.

I´m not sure where it belongs as well, to be fair...
