Just to be seen to be being impartial
 I loved the simplicity of the rules - you could build a starship without having to do shed-loads of maths; The canon background wasn't "welded in" to the rules like later versions; I love random CharGen. You never knew what you'd end up with. And yes, when I Ref'd players rolling up their characters I enforced the the "fail the survival throw and the character *dies*" rule. Cos I was a git like that, see.... The guy who sold me my first set of LBBs (in the box, of course) said: "There ya go mate, a whole universe in a box." And he meant it too.

LBBs also work great as bathroom readers!

Pretty much everything!
What I especially love is the fact it still has such loyal, die-hard fans even in the face of new systems (a fact which a certain person [img]graemlins/file_23.gif[/img] on these boards often berates and belittles as being insignificant and misplaced). [img]smile.gif[/img]

The CharGen in itself is a game. I was always fascinated by the results - sometimes you'd get a really balanced character, good overall spread of skills, reasonable age, decent mustering out benefits.
Other times you'd end up with a character with Computer-4, Jack-of-All-Trades-8, Bribery-1 and a dagger. Or even worse (and yes, I did once roll up this character  ) Broker-6 and Brawling-1.Then there were the ones that died in generation....
