Misc equipment costs are in here, including food. No standard of living table by SOC.
Reaction roll table modified by being a military retiree (+1), world population (-1 if 9 or more), and nothing else. Oooo-kay.
Animals don't actually have stats; it's more like HD.
Also the question of animal armor, which I had been wondering out, is resolved reasonably.
Hiring local guides provides a +/-2 DM to the random encounter table when you're seeking a particular type of animal. Good for safaris.
Rules for frequency of psionic institutes. I am stealing these. Scholarship rules for characters of high ability, too.
I quite like their psionics rules, I think. Harder max caps on abilities, but no rolls to use most of them, and skill level gradually improves on its own until it reaches your personal maximum ability.
Also having a "Special Talent" category on the table is either an awesome idea or a GM nightmare, depending on the circumstances.
Good closing note:
Care must be taken that the referee does not simply lay fortunes in the path of the players, but the situation is not primarily an adversary relationship. The referee simply administers the rules in situations where the players themselves have an incomplete understanding of the universe. The results should reflect a consistent reality.
