Even if it had been available during that writing, it wasn't a Chaosium book and the work inside wouldn't have been representative of the BRP system. And as I've noted elsewhere on this forum, a star map/worldbuilding system or a spaceship building system aren't really a part of what has been traditionally known as the BRP system.
I'd love it if the original authors either contributed to or authorized a new edition of that game.

Any chance that Chaosium would contact the authors?
Seriously, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and would love to see this go back into print (revised, of course). I was actually worried that I would have to create an entire universe if I chose to do a space opera using BRP. That X,Y,Z grid really blew my mind. It's so simple, but since I suck at math, I would never have thought of it. And it always pissed me off that all the systems I've encountered never came up with a good way to calculate interstellar travel times (or, if they did, they just wrote it so sloppily or dense that I couldn't understand or cared what they were saying).
I really hope that Chaosium does do some stuff with space opera that deals with characters planet hopping--with a good system of determining distance and travel time.
