Are y'all talking about the Mongoose Traveller main rulebook?
 
If so, my take:  A wee bit sloppy.  I didn't buy it primarily because of the artwork looking so schizophrenic.  I thought the interlinked character generation was good, since I did something similar in my last MT campaign.  
 
I took a peek at the B4 sampler on MG's site and was shocked to find a weapon that is a direct rip-off of the Shuriken Catapults from 40K; its called the MagRail Minigun and it fires razor sharp discs....just like a shuriken catapult/cannon used by the Eldar in 40K.
 
That chaps my sensibilities as a Traveller fan and former GW Outrider at the same time.  I've been a Traveller nut since 1983 and I'm not too keen on GW'ing our blessed game.  Couldn't they have used 4mm darts like all other Traveller gauss weapons?
 
I'm going to bed.
 
G'night.  oh, and Strike from Space!
 
Faust
