I am pretty sure that FL will not release a product that is not as polished as it could be, and that they are working as fast as possible to achieve this.
Kudos for the track record.

The fact that "Affiance" is not italicized in the core book annoys me to no end.

Done a high level read through of the pdf. There is a lot in there I am loving, the input from David Semark's work brings in a lot that I want to see in an Alien RPG supplement. Harvesters usage, civilian vehicles, a good first adventure (home sweet home)

My only disappointment is the influence of one of the awful titan books into the canon Colony War with its politically insensitive 3WExit reference. In the past, book franchise tie-in got only a high level master egg reference like the rest and I hope that it returns to that in future supplements

I’m really happy with the pdf but I’m not too comfortable with the NAPRO development. Just a thought on the political blocks . I can’t really envisage a UPP (Russia) united with Germany and Spain in a socialist union . It’s based on the events of the 1980’s where we have 3 main players , the USA , Russia and China . I can’t really see a European federation not being a major player . I envisage some kind of federation of a united Europe , the uk ,Japan , Korea , Australia , NZ , the pacific , the Philippines and maybe others . Surely that would be the rival of the UA, UPP, China and smaller groupings instead of a 3WE .

Noticed that the ship data blocks are missing the Systems and upgrades lists

It's nice to have 3 new hull sizes.

Buttload of spelling and continuity errors as well. Hope FL manages to fix them for the physical book. Or updates the PDF.
