The problem with this is it seriously limits what they can do in the
future. It requires them to flesh out parts of the world that have only
been briefly - or not at all - covered yet, and then if they have a great
idea in the future, everything needs to stick with what's been written in
Target: Earth.

Aside from the problems it creates on FASAs send, I don't see much use for
this product. A page or two doesn't provide anything for an unused location
that I can't provide for my own game myself. I'd rather FASA covered less
locations in more detail - make it useful enough to use, rather than just a
"Oh this sounds cool, now let me write 30 pages about it to make it usable
in my game" book.
