I think this is spot on and I overall dislike the game. One thing that I am a li'l bit interested in is the hitpoints system which seems like a good mix of Fate stressboxes with D&D damage.
The amount of incoming damage can go to certain thresholds and that has different consequences (both symbol-layer mechanical and diegetic). I think that's neat and I'm glad to see that experiment carried further.
Wow, I had missed that. That's not good. I mean, CR gets criticized for their "shopping episodes" (even though my own group is even more extreme in that regard) so maybe that's to address that? Diaspora, for example, just has a "recourses" roll instead of detailed accounting of space credits, and it seems to work well in the context of that game.
I don't think that's a fair characterization; range bands is trued and tested tech. Cartesian spatialization is overkill for most game groups.
