Well, there's not much to say than list of something:
I want it to be a hard sci-fi, so I decided to use a tech background similar to B5 and of Weber's books. Probably Baxter too, but not so extremely long-timed and overpowered.
So, really, I want only one tech suggestion from you: What FTL should I pick: Wormholes or Quantum Tunneling. I actually prefer tunneling, since it's at least reasonable in terms of energy.
That's about tech. Now, about the universe:
I'm thinking about a war between two alliances. One is like Interstellar Alliance, but, well... a lot harshier. Other is imperialistic, but not a Empire. War is neither full-size nor cold
Not much... I probably forgot something. I'll add stuff later. IE, stuff about hero and his friends(though he don't have any) and such.

Why is it that the bullet points are so much more understandable than the rest...?
If you use some kind of Quantum Tunneling, you'd never have to explain the physics of it... Using wormholes is not a good idea IMHO.

Dunno why they're more understandable. So, a hero(though not really thought of)
He's a badass, plain and simple. But he has brains, though he likes brute force more. He is a military officer, and he has just got free(He has been in jail for 6 months for burning a planet). And now he's a privateer soldier(Sounds freaky, that means that he's free but must work for military, though he may gain money on it)
More later, again.

So he's an asshole.. i hate reading books that hero-ize assholes. Section 31 garbage, etc.

One suggestion: be able to write. Doesn't mean shit how much planning you put into your fictional universe if the end result is completely unreadable.
