This is Andre Faucher on behalf of Gamer's Haven. While there are many companies who produce products like this, simple sheets for recording characters/ships/whatever, many times they inflate the price. However, The Starfarer's Kit is a good, simple, cheap product that can be easily used and not break the wallet.
First, one of the many pros about this product is the price, a product within this price range can easily be afforded for convenience. In an age where a GM or player can find these sort of products by merely browsing the web for a while, it is unrealistic to make the price unrealistic. Second, another great thing about this product is that it is very printer friendly. Without odd colors or giant decorations, your printer will not cry out in pain when you print any of these pages. Finally, this is useful to both player and GM, as these can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
However, the product has a single area that can be improved. The chief complaint is the "radar blip" area, although it is a novel concept that is not usually discussed, the blips are merely red and green dots. Not exactly the most difficult thing to produce, it would have been nice to have something a little more sophisticated. It's the future!
The question comes down to, is this product worth its price? The answer is YES in a massive way. The product gives you over 50 pages of handouts, record sheets, weapon trackers, and zounds more. My personal favorite is the wanted poster towards the back, as my players always are on the wrong side of the law. This is an excellent product that is well worth the money, if only to save you from the headache of tracking down all the various different handouts that this provides.
