So many rules that were NOT needed (Again, IMHO). Starfire used to be a game you could set up and play a scenario in 10-20 minutes. Now it seems to take forever.
I playtested one of the editions where it went from moderately bug to Huge. It nearly killed my poor printer when I downloaded the rules. That was about 1996, and I haven't touched it since.

OTOH, I'm still a Star Fleet Battles addict. The pace of supplements seems manageable to me.
