Send email and hang on. You will get your book.
I am thankful for my order
I ordered after Kickstarter was closed, through a link posted by DonM on the Traveller group on Facebook. I ordered Mar. 31 and fully expected to be served only after the Kickstarters, but that was pretty long. Finally got my order July 23, 114 days later. When the Kickstarter orders had all shipped for a while, I still heard nothing. I had to send an e-mail to FFE (MM). MM reacted and kindly threw in 4 dice on top of my order. Order shipped in 5 days, which was not bad through an international border (I am in Canada.)
If you have not gotten your order yet, just e-mail.
I am thankful. Despite errata problems where I'm feverishly pencilling in things with a fervour like a dog chewing at a chew-toy, I think it truly does open vistas of SF RPGing I never saw before. Maybe I'm not conversant in the most recent RPGs or whether they also do these things, but I liked the detailed sophont generation supported by analytical measurement of their senses, and sensitivities to allow detection rolls vs. the intensity of the stimulus, whatever it is. Then I had a robot sentience concept on a world. My thoughts turned to whether we could generate robot characters, and the chapter on robots fitted in nicely.
I'm not reading the book linearly and didn't get to the core things yet like combat and starship combat. If there are extreme difficulties, well, I could always wing it in play. Planet generation and the UWP has always been nice in Traveller and this seems to be the same basic thing as always.

Well, I finally got mine. There were a couple nice perks thrown in for being so late like a few extra dice and some 24 credit coins.
