I kind of agree with you, but I've seen it in so many different places, that stuff like that winds up happening in some way, and they come with workable explanations.
I mean, sure it might be impossible, but this is "Fiction" after all, so if they can make it somewhat believable, I'm of the opinion of

"Well, why the hell not?"
Same reason the Ghost Ships got shot down. It doesn't quite fit, no one cept the furries seem to like it, and some of it is just powergaming. :/
No one complained when Frank Herbert wrote that Humans can be transformed by spice to fold space. In fact he made it believable in his stories, by explaining how it's done (which depends on if you read them or not.)
Which just means not everything in Sci-Fi has to be proven as scientific fact, that's probably one of the reasons that makes Sci-Fi one of the best genres out there. The universe is infinite, so to speak, which means possibilities are endless in alien species or genetic experiments.
As long as the person behind the character makes the character believable, than virtually anything is possible. Including a lamp.
Now, do I agree with furries being in Freelancer/Disco? I can't say yes or no because we don't write 78% of Discovery lore down, nor do we roleplay scientists making random genetic experiments, all we know is the information the player of the furry character gives us.
The stupid thing about this entire argument is that you noone can win.
People in favour say, prove it wrong.
People against it say, prove it true.
Neither can do so, given it's
A) Set in the future
B) Science Fiction
C) A Roleplaying community
Powergaming of certain characters has nothing to do with the argument in the first place. We don't all powergame.
Sierra was tasked with boarding and capturing ships.
In an aTrans.
A ship lacking a CD.
I gimped myself so hard, I literally had to organise every event involving them for it to work.
But whatever, I'm over this thread. Community bashing something different again because they apparently have nothing better to do.

This.
Good point is good.
This is why Sci-Fi is Sci-Fi. We might not all agree with Furries being acceptable in space, but we shouldn't shoot down their RP simply because we "Don't like it"

Pretty much yeah. If they RP it I leave em alone. If they go all 'ololol ima furry!!!!!11' I call crap RP.
