And yet, punk style would be considered gauche and outre in Space 1889. But yeah, the punking of all things annoys me almost as much as the term "sci-fi."Yeah, there's generally no "punk" in Steampunk games. One of the earlier ones actually fits the punk trope better, even if it isn't enormously explicit. Space 1889 has a very Victorian age world, with steampunk space travel. This leads to things like the Belgians running a horribly vicious colony on Mars where they exploit the local Martians for resources. So shining a light on the real world colonial abuses of the portrayed time through the lens of science fiction. It's quite easy to fit in some "fight the oppressors" stuff in the setting because there's a lot of oppression there.
