@amorphical Good morning!
I think it's important in a Sci-Fi setting to discuss a technology level before the story begins, or anything futuristic for that matter. If there's space exploration, what method is used? If there is combat, do people use laser weapons, or are you still conventional? How advanced is the AI, or things like implants and cybernetics?
An inherent issue with Sci-Fi can often be someone overestimating the advances of the world. That being said, if it was one little toss-up like that, there are really two easy options right away.
1. The person can just accept your idea, why not? The story works both ways, unless it ruins the whole plot or world.
2. Just rewrite the post, that lovely little edit button can work wonders! I had to rewrite a post yesterday from an Rp because a typo of "Trail" instead of "Train" made me think we were in a wagon. It happens, laugh it off, fix it.
Most importantly though, discuss that technology line with them, and interact with your partner when you want to introduce a new and more questionable one that wasn't discussed. If you think a tech might be too much, ask first.
I have some paperwork to go do before I make some posts I owe people, but feel free to ask any other questions you might have :)
