Slapped together and slipshod game design, which the developers pass off on players and GMs expecting them to come up with fixes.

Shoddy work. A lack of a table of contents makes finding anything difficult. Also the author lavishes page after page on stats, illustrations, and deck plans for vehicles and spaceships but not a single line could be spared for the several new creatures that are prominent encounters.

I would have much preferred more information on the setting instead of the lackluster adventure that was included.

If you think this is a Halloween themed scenario for Battletech you are in for a disappointment. It's a mediocre at best short story without even a resolution at the end. Even free the cost is to much since the time it costs you to read it is nonrefundable.

Basically it's every black pill science fiction movie trope, zero new gound explored just plain predictable and dull. Honestly nothing that hasn't been done before. I can't even find any new ideas to use in more interesting settings. Also even though this is supposed to be a setting book there is a huge chapter of ship design rules. rules, why is this in here? This is supposed to be a setting book and now I'm paying for rules I didn't want. Definitely regretting this purchase.

When a game starts off stating that every player should bring a scientific calculator you need to give it a second thought.

Not a fan of several changes to the rules.   Advantage/Disadvantage added, this was a big problem for many in D&D 5th ed and when mongoose decided to imitate it. Not including it in Cepheus was a big point in it favor, so why put in? Skills have been removed. Not odd esoteric things, but long time standbys like comms and gambling. Less randomness character generation. One of the key points of Taveller character gen was that it would not go according to some well laid out plan power gamer blueprint. Like real life unforseen events haveinfluence

I could have done with a lot less random tables and more actually useful information about the setting.

A collection of interesting ideas. Written mostly in reference to the 3rd Imperium setting but easily used for other Traveller setting or even other science fiction settings/rules. Plus a price of $2.99 for 50 pages of actual content a great value.

Another example of the game design theory of, "if I use enough f-bombs and try to be 'edgy' they won't notice how mediocre (at best) this module is."

First off does the author know what editing and formating are? Because the "book" seems to show a complete lack of both. Secondly I had no idea it was even humanly possible to be this laughably ham fisted about a political message, farms around the world are missing their scare crows because this book has so many straw men in it.

While I grumbled about the original $12 price tag for this book at $6 It is a good value. I especially like the 2 page spread color cut away diagram. My only remaining complaint is that I thought it would be better if the NPCs included were and example of a crew for this ship that you might run into as allies or rivals.

If you search the words "city guide" on drivethrurpg.com you can find everything in this guide that is even remotely useful from other people who can write in a coherent style.

Years ago this product came out with great fanfare, I bought a printed copy, and eagerly awaited the full product. THAT KENZER CO TOOK ALMOST 5 YEARS TO FINALLY RELEASE!!! NOW THEY GIVE THIS AWAY FOR FREE?! THANKS FOR TAKING MY MONEY AND THEN LAUGHING IN MY FACE BLACKBURN, THE JOKE ISN'T THE GAME IT'S YOUR PATHETIC RELEASE SCHEDULE. FOOL ME ONCE, AND THATS THE LAST KENZER CO PRODUCT I'LL EVER BUY.

12 pages...no that counts the cover and open license so really it's 10 pages pages and $3.99 to basically say it's a spooky place were things go bump in the night, and no there is no actual explanation or reason for it. Oh sure there's some nice pictures, well 1 nice picture on the cover which they recycle again inside. Seriously unexplained sounds and lights, phantom voices you've seen it all before for less than $4. Spica dropped the ball here a lackluster phoned in performance.
