I finally got my hands on the PDF and – I love it! Yes, of course, the layout and art are beautiful, but it’s the improvements I enjoy the most. I have yet to delve into everything, but the new Glory/Shame (Acclaim/Reprimands) system is way better than the original reputation system (which I already liked pretty much!). There are some points I have, but I will discuss them in a separate thread.
The mission briefs are a very good outline to streamline adventure-creation (which is especially useful for those of us with not too much time 
) and I’ll definetly use this structure for my own adventures, together with the outline on p. 283.
(By the way, there’s a typo on p. 308 on the Mission Brief “Subversion”: Suggested Spotlight Role is the “First Officera”. )
The random lists of species’… distinctivenesses on p. 275 are very nice (I missed this in the original core book – or did I forget about it?! Edit: Found it on p. 290 in the Core Rules. Funny how a different orientation of a table can make it seem all new 
) and the part about Klingon language… so. cool.
