This is an engaging game for fans of sci-fi/space opera and journalling game fans. Writing the story of a ship rather than a hero or a faction is an approach to storytelling I wouldn't have dreamt up myself, but it works well and results in stories no less poignant than those of blaster wielding captains or crafty space pirates.
It's also fun to weave references to plays "Notorious" (also by Mousehole) into your ship's story.
