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.

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.

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.
