Grand Fleet

There is a plan to follow up with a set of ship designs and associated notes. Format is stil being worked out.
 
Is anyone prepared to review Grand Fleet based on a thorough examination of the supplement? Is anything new added? Many of the "big questions" mentioned in the sales pitch are answered in other products already, such as Imperial Squadrons.
 
I found enough new material to make the pdf well worth the price. I've got three players in my T20 game with ex-navy players who really need a resource like this. Kudos to Mr. Dougherty and Frier!

It looks like Grand Fleet ($8.50) covers much of the same ground as TA-7 Fighting Ships ($4.00 w/subscription) with only 11 more pages but twice the price. If you have TA-7, is Grand Fleet worth it?

Fighting Ships is mostly just that, ships, with a little bit covering the IN. Grand Fleet instead covers the IN indepth but doesn't have ship stats.

Legal issues about my asking, that is - if there aren't then the question stands...
 
So your not going to upload a sample of Grand Fleet then? How about pasting up TOC, introduction, and a couple of pages from the body of the text?

To sell a pure PDF that can't be examined in a store with no sample, well...
 
Does this help?

The editing and organization of this product is good. I must say, however, the first read left me feeling a bit flat. I kept getting the sense that I was reading a detailed outline or extended glossary of terms - encyclopedia entries maybe? It lacked a depth of personality (story) I have come to expect in Traveller products. The ending was as abrupt as Halo2.

I think that someone who owns Imperial Squadrons and reads these forums will not find a great deal of new content.
