I'm a B or C kinda guy.

I want to play games that feel like Appleseed/Ghost in the Shell meets
Aliens with a good healthy dose of 40k and/or Shadowrun, on strange
new worlds.

Can I use the phrase Hard Science Fantasy :-)

Mostly I want a good set of rules that will allow the above and be fun
(i.e. I think it will all turn out to be (nano?)robots/RPVs fighting
(nano?)robots/RPVs, but that's not fun).
