I agree whole heartedly. I gave up on SFB after module 7. I think they are up to 10 or 11 now.
Starfire, however, got nuts. Task Force sold the rights to an independant developer, David Weber had a falling out with the new designers, and the game has exploded from a 20-30 page marvel of brevity to a 50 page mess (IMHO). 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.
