Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Suppliment
Comment: This GURPS sourcebook is designed to work well with any science fiction setting, and can easily be converted for use in a non-GURPS game. Hundreds of items are listed, described in relatively short capsules (1-3 paragraphs, usually) with good descriptions of game effects.

While the books is useful beyond description, there are a few (minor) flaws. First, for people inclined to mercantile campaigns, a great deal of the book deals with weapons and armor. Secondly, there is nothing to differentiate between hard-sf equipment and cinematic "rubber science" sci-fi type gear. For those of us who play games closer to Larry Niven than George Lucas, this can be irritating, especially if we know more about history than physics.

Rating: 3
Summary: Very Good
Comment: I don't think this is GREAT utility but it is certainly very good. The book has several sections for different Tech Levels but only a handful of items that sometimes seem completely unrelated. I would have liked to have seen a whole mass of civilian items that seem more related as well as military. Very good but could have been better.

Rating: 5
Summary: A great source book for futuristic ideas and equipment
Comment: Fantastic gaming source. Provides futuristic technologies and gadgets for any science fiction game, as well as some ideas on the changes society might go through in dealing with advanced technology.
