Okay - granted, I am a fan of Scaldcrow Games generic source books, that being said; check this out.. I just picked up the "Advantage" and am using it with the old TSR Star Frontiers system. It works great, though I am thinking about cooking it up in Traveller. I love how direct SG generic books are and this one is no different. After a short read I feel like I am walking down the halls of the ship. MAN, and what a ship. It's not a stale rehash of other starships that have been popular in the past. It's something new, you know - original. It's easy to get caught up in a lot of rules that interfere with good storytelling or that fill useless space in a book, that ultimatly get's disregarded in game play. This book gives me everything I need to understand the ship and doesn't bog me down with a lot of "blah, blah, blah." It gets right to the point. I waited until midinight for the book's release. (Well 1:00am here) and am I glad I did. I recommend this book as a fast and effective way to add some new good stuff to your game.
