This looks like a lot of fun and I'd love to give it a try.
I would suggest tiding up the rule book a bit as there are some typos and some rules are hidden under other rules making it a bit difficult to understand.
Examples:
Short trip - do we trigger Short Trip everytime we travel to the edge of map - Agri / Mining Planets because the only path is to travel backwards? If yes, it means the mission of Rescure VIP is not possible as all space debris event are replaced in short trip situation.
In the rulebook, Mission two requires selling 5 illicit but it is not mentioned in the mission card. Does it mean selling any 5 illicit or does it have to be done in a mission - If it has to be a mission, the privateer job only has a sell 3 illicit mission. Selling 5 illicit mission is only in the Pirate Bar with roll of 4. Is that the mission to do?
Again with Mission 2, the rulebook states PC gets 2 free crew but the cards states you may select 1 crew for free.
Escape Rule: The rulebook states oYabby can only escape witin 400k and after second round. Does it mean PC can only escape from the 3rd round which is pretty harsh?
Also drop 1 cargo to increase Odds. Does it mean increase by 1? Can we drop more than 1 cargo to increase it more?
Typos:
Truster or Thruster?
