As science fiction is a setting that requires a lot of detail, I'd say the book alone is not enough. Using the book together with some other BRP sci-fi material, like the free Cthulhu Rising material, would work very well though.

I'm looking for a decent supply of weapons, computers, cybernetics, etc.
Material for a future sci-fi supplement, but not fully explored in the basic rulebook.

Does BRP have a decent listing of skills appropriate to an interstellar campaign?
They have many that fits, but you will probably want to add some, which should b an easy thing to do considering the structure of the skill rules.

Quote:
Does BRP include starship construction / combat rules?
Nope, but again, check out Cthulhu Rising (in the link list on this site), and the download section here might get some pretty soon.

Quote:
Any Aliens? (or monsters suitable for such?)
Some, but not that many.

Lastly how bad is the presentation? I'm not looking for anything close to perfection in a pre release book but I would hope it's readable.
Quite readable. Mostly minor editing issues that need to be cleaned up before the 1st edition is released.
