2* BizarroEpisode: The scenario booklet ''[[http://www.sjgames.com/transhuman/orbitaldecay/ Orbital Decay,]]'' published early in the line's existence, is widely perceived as an unfortunate attempt to get supporting product out ASAP, even though it didn't really fit the style of the setting. It's basically Zombies in Spaaaace, with ropey orbital mechanics. Few fans talk about it much.
3* BrokenBase: Weirdly, the philosophical question of whether having one's brain destructively scanned and then perfectly replicated in software is a path to digital immortality or an expensive form of suicide that produces a delusional computer program as a by-product seems to get some fans terribly engaged and occasionally quite abrasive. The recurrent and repetitive arguments on the subject on the setting's official discussion boards eventually led to the creation of [[http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=65050 a special thread, known to fans as "The Sticky Thread of Doom",]] to which all such discussions are now directed.
4* FridgeLogic: A detailed hard SF setting which claims to work through its assumptions fairly rigorously is inevitably prone to occasional fridge logic problems.
5* MemeticMutation: In a fine bit of irony, there's a [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftOfficeAssistant Clippit the Paperclip]] joke in ''Toxic Memes''.
6-->It looks like you're starting a religion. Would you like help with that?
7* {{Moe}}: Some of the oppressed bioroids may fit this trope.
8* MorePopularSpinoff: The setting started as a series of fiction vignettes in ''Bio-Tech'' for ''GURPS Third Edition''. The fiction was popular enough that it expanded to a full setting.
9* PanderingToTheBase: The presence of "Felicia"-series bioroid {{Cat Girl}}s may be pandering to the furry/anime-fan community.
10* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Sometimes seen as a problem for the line caused by some of the early ''{{art|StyleDissonance}}'', which was heavy on the BodyHorror, rather than by the actual setting content.
