I have played around with it, much like I did with VE2 and will do once we get VDS and as I did with G:Space 4e and pen and paper and a pocket calculator. Not so much preparing for games, but more like solitaire or one player Civilization. My group is playing fantasy and an end of the present campaign is not in sight, so it may be quite some time before we start a SF campaign.

I personally absolutely want planetological details. If I wanted just some rough ideas I could have stayed with Classical Traveller or GURPS Space 2e. Whether they will have practical effects once I get to use some of those planets I don´t know. But I want them. Besides, it´s a lot easier not to use something that´s there, than to create something that´s not there.
