Major update project. Or is it? The rules come out of SILVER and the ship descriptions from the MSSB, maybe not too hard.

I've been hoping for a full-scale update to this module for quite some time!

-----

There are a significant number of ships from Module X1 which had their BPVs adjusted in Module X1R, which would be welcome to see "fed back" into this product.

-----

Speaking of Module X1R, it might be worth revising the introductory paragraphs in (X0.0) both to refer players to that module, as well as to clarify that the future Module X2 is presently intended to focus exclusively on second-generation X-ships.

Indeed, perhaps it might be worth adjusting the means by which X1-ships are introduced historically in this section, in light of the expanded background data provided in X1R and in Captain's Log #49's A Brief History of the Andromedan War?

-----

As for specific ships, it might be worth updating the R-section entry for the GSX, in light of data published in later issues of Captain's Log magazine.

In this, I think of the entries for the five known GSXs in the Class History article from Captain's Log #41; as well as the Sakharov article from Captain's Log #51.

-----

Also, in light of X1R, Module C3A, and Captain's Log #54, this might be an excellent opportunity to update the infamous Darwin scenario from this product: both in terms of providing an expanded range of scenario variations, as well as to advise readers interested in delving more deeply into the "dark future" timeline to look out for these other products.
