Dark matter is physics speak for "we don't understand cosmology enough as yet, it could be gravity is wrong"
Dark energy is physics speak for "we don't understand cosmology, why is the universe expanding at an accelerating rate?"

Is there an image of the table of contents? I'd like to suggest that Mongoose might consider putting it in future teasers.

An extended table of contents would be even more helpful...

 

[Arkathan]

Not sure how helpful it would be.

 

[IanBruntlett]

Thank you... it's a start

The table of contents and the index would be a heckuva sales pitch...

...mainly because it lets people know that there is an index.

Thanks for posting. The 1000 ton Borderworld Freighter inspires some ideas just from its name alone. Now I’m gonna have to buy the book!

 

[Starglim]

Thanks, that's a helpful idea of the content.

I’m really interested in all the independent merchant ships. I wonder if they have come to the same conclusion that I did?

But no burst laser bays and barbettes?

Which is especially weird, because Burst Lasers (JTAS #1) are printed earlier than laser Barbettes and Bays (JTAS #7); so the authors who wrote the rules for laser Barbettes and Bays should certainly have been aware of them.

And, once again, no known source about Burst Lasers specifies whether they get a bonus to-hit like other lasers do; nor whether the energy usage is per attack roll or per starship-combat round. Or any explanation at all really on how 'Auto X' weapons work on starship-scale weapons.
