This is a godawful lousy product. Well over a year late, and still chock full of idiotic typos that even a basic spellchecker program would have spotted and fixed. Seriously, in what world is "prolifigation" an English word? Worse, they obviously didn't playtest this any better than they proofread it. The "magic" (psionics/theurgy/runes) will absolutely break the game, making large ships vastly better than an equal point value of small vessels, despite the fact that people have been warning them about the problem since the rules were released in Signs & Portents back in 2011. The ham-handed patch to try to make carriers worth their cost is also a dubious solution at best, and the uneven point cost increases to destroyers still leaves frigates as a very unattractive option in most fleets. I'd express amazement that this book got released in its current state, but really, Mongoose supplements almost always wind up being worse than their core books.
Don't make the mistake I did, go spend your money elsewhere.
