6 / 10JiawenIf you really want to go into the nitty-gritty of a free trader campaign, this is the book for you. Some of the implications and assumptions don't make much sense -- but then, trading grain over interstellar distances never did make much sense.
10 / 10seleniteBest supplement I've ever seen for merchant/economics games, not just for SF but any setting.
