Impression after a Brief reading

[Takei]

I allso like have many of the salvaged and non-standard ships the IISS owns be in the Detached Duty ship pool. i.e.

100 dTon "min spec" Jump 1 / G1 tramps, useing 1/2 A drives....
130 dTon Jump 3 / G3, Darrian clipers built on high Tec hulls....
200 dTon Sword World Jump 2 / G4 smuglers....
ect. ect.

Great idea! It's so obvious but this is the first time I've come across it. Consider it snagged for my future games

I thought it was odd that a Type S scout could not carry a 5-ton mail drum... checked CT and the same story there! The pool of modified and non standard scouts would help that a bit...

I am very much looking forward to High Guard. This time round I have Excel!

Bizarrely but probably fairly typically for wargamers I taught myself to use Excel designing ships for the GZG wargame Full Thrust and DTP (does anyone else remember Impression?) designing character sheets. I remember the nightmare that was printing out a full A4 page hex map for the campaign that was pushing the machine (an Acorn Archimedes A3000 with 2Mb of RAM, no hard disc and a single 1 MB floppy drive) to the absolute limit of its capability.

Having only briefly flicked through the book thus far (I'm saving it for a thorough read tonight), my only real criticism right now is regarding the internal artwork - most of it really is quite awful. In this regard, referring to it as "old school" is not a compliment.

I don't buy books based on their artwork, however, many people do and, when you're trying to illustrate the world the game inhabits, I would have expected better.
