Are GURPS Tech Books released in wrong order / badly planned?

G:SS has their share of murphies, but they're better thought-through than, say, Magic/Grimoire or even UT.

Oh, basic spaceship combat is very meh, but once you figure out tactical, it's quite OK.

P.S.: If you're in the mood, I'd be quite curious to see the list of problematic rules and possible quick fixes for spaceships. I know I made a few threads on the topic in days past, but I wonder what others would list.
