Yeah exactly! I especially find this true for sci-fi. There are some great battlemaps for sci-fi out there, but they tend to depict very similar places in similar settings, as another commenter mentioned, or just be a recreation of something from star wars for the umpteenth time. There's a place for maps of wildly different locales in sci-fi games. Alien planets have backwater towns too! Not every map needs to be a space station, a hangar, or a cyberpunk city.
Hopefully I've helped make a teeny tiny dent in the sci fi map variety issue.
