At first glance this product seems to be well put together and has lots of good tables for the generation of a facility in a Sci-Fi setting.

I'm only giving it 4 stars for a couple of reasons. Some of the information feels useful but unneeded. It is my understanding that this product is supposed to generate a Sci-Fi facility. If it is instead supposed to generate a Sci-Fi research facility, then some of the following criticism can be ignored. -The information on the founding organization is okay, but lacks criminal elements. -There is a names table for orbiting space stations but not one for ground based facilities. -The Facility purpose table is dedicated solely to science. This makes if feel more like a sub-table than a main table. I would like to see a main table for the facility's purpose that looks more like: Science/research, Trade outpost, Resupply depot, Military base, Mining base, Industrial facility, Administration/communication, Religious retreat, Hidden purpose (roll again for what the purpose appears to be.) -In the status with founding group there is the abandoned quality. I feel like this should have been done a bit differently. The original founding organization may have abandoned the facility, but that doesn't mean that another group hasn't taken it over. (Abandoned by the original founders and totally abandoned are potentially two different things. -The random items you might find are interesting, but probably could have been expanded into it's own document as most of what's given are all science related again.

All in all, I'd say this is a good product at a pretty reasonable price point. Somethings here should help a GM get the basics of a facility up pretty fast.
