I have just recently purchased the Prime Directive Federation sourcebook. I was surprised by how poor the scan was. I wonder if there is any pride in your work to put out a product that comes off so poorly done. The front cover was full of cracks on it! Where did you find that book? As for the pages, the scan is a little off center, makes it uneven printing. I am very disappointed in how this copy came out. It is not work the money that you asked for, it should be given out for free.

Readability Note: For those concerned about readability, the file was updated on December 12, but no significant readability problems were evident in the original. the file was and continues to be readable. This is a pdf made from scanned images, but the scan is as clean as you would expect based on the style, font, and age of the printed source. There are no bookmarks, however.

The Federation Sourcebook (1994) was a useful expansion to Prime Directive, fleshing out a lot of things which players asked about when the game first launched. It added new character types (Commando, Combat Engineer), expands the material on Vulcan psionics, and adds rules and background for non-Vulcan psionics. In addition to offering a great deal of knowledge concerning the Federation and its member races, the expanded rules options and play aids, such as hit location, alternate/advanced initiative, and the ship recognition section increased the speed and ease of play while providing many more hooks and background ideas for players to incorporate into characters.

This is a good book and it's nice to see it available on DriveThru, but... the quality of the file leaves a lot to be desired. While the preview is clear and easy to read, the actual file is very pixelated, which makes the text almost unreadable. Until the file is fixed, save your money and don't buy this book.
