I embraced it at the time because Traveller was so much more limited in comparison but from even at the time I knew SO was awkward. Now I'm annoyed that it was both abstract and awkward. You'd think that if you were abstracting so much you could at least make things simple.
If I was tempted to rescue soemthing from SO I think it might be the Sector Atlases. Possibly my memories are tinged with nostalgia but what I remember seems good to me by comparison with alternatives.
