definitiely not your target audience... not willing to play GURPS anymore... but a couple comments.

A Very Distant Mirror
Under GURPS, the setting info is intriguing, but seems very much a mismatch to the activity.

And that's before the lethality level of GURPS combat rules potentially turning Monster of the Week into New physical disad of the week.

Passage Crew

It's not a bad Traveller motif, but the nuts-n-bolts of mercantile ships in Traveller is still "Stay ahead of the costs"... Fuel, maintenance, life support, repairs....
And repairs are potentially into the million+ range even on a low damage encounter.

Hurricane Season
Something I might enjoy setting wise for a mini-campaign, but not for 4+ months...

Very High External Pressure
Sounds like a setting I'd like to read stories in, but not one I'd like to play. Too much potential for radio to end an escape right quick.
