Happy now...
I just picked mine up a couple of hours ago...
On initial flick, it is very nice. Layout and colour is good, information presentation makes sense. And I love the timeline!
Paper looks a little flimsy, and I found the some of the character creation stuff confusing, but those are my only complaints so far. And I'm probably confusing myself by not reading in order (per Cdr Powers thread on this)
All in all, worth the wait, now I just need the NG
And I have to say I love some of the writing: "... there is the offchance a race of beautiful alien women in thigh boots will steal your brain. This can't be helped."

"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song.
Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do."
