I like it a lot, (although I _worry_ about Phalon plasma bolts :-) each
of the alien races has its own distinctive capabilities, and will evolve
its own tactics.
The Kra-Vak and Sa'Vasku are much more detailed than they were in More
Thrust, and have more toys (ie. systems) to play with, those pod
launchers have a lot of potential :-)
Also the artwork is very good quality.

However I would have liked a table summarising the component costs, but
this is only another minor quibble.

All in all, a worthwile buy.
