I doubt it will be as well written or as useful as Kevin Crawford's STARVATION CHEAP - his military campaign supplement for Stars Without Number. 90% of the book is non-system stuff that can instantly be used for Traveller (or other sci-fi / military RPG).

She's happy because the ticket will earn her enough credits to get that leg fixed.

Mongoose Publishing has just one in-house writer doing all their books whose style is very un-interesting. And the art department there has embraced toxic femininity. I will definitely take a look at Starvation Cheap. Ordering it now, in fact. Thank you.
Check out Suns of Gold, which is his merchant supplement. It's excellent. I don't think that Stars Without Number will be your cup of tea system-wise, but the sandbox materials are high quality.

I'll use any book that is more about general sandboxing than about game system. I do have a lot of GURPS books even though I don't play GURPS.

GURPS is indeed the king of supplements for every other system.

I watched the video and looked at the pictures on the link you proivided. I saw one mercenary with actual blue hair in the video and there is an image of what appears to be an older mercenary if you're using blue-hairs to refer to the elderly. Why exactly is this bothering you so much?

Just for the heck, I looked at the link just now. Mongoose replaced the images.

What were the replaced images? I ask because what they had up when I replied (which is probably the "replacement" images) didn't look all that remarkable.
It's Traveller, the game where old people are scarier than C'thulhu.

I live in Florida, so I know well the terror of old people behind the wheel. Although that's balanced out by them being less likely to be the assholes texting & driving.
It's Mongoose so it will almost certainly be derivative, badly-written, and overpriced. Otherwise, not sure what the problem is here.
Huh. So I was... commenting on the replacement art? I mean it is still very very bad.
1/10, would neither hire the Artist NOR the mercenaries depicted.
