I bought (for cheap on ebay) Battlelords after reading some good reviews here, because I was looking for a generic space opera game.
I was disappointed by the writing, and the immaturity.
Two examples :
- you get the stats of the M16A2. Please note, not a "generic" M16. I find this very revealing. (I'm not saying gun nuts should not write rpgs, but they should try to make the iruniverse coherent before adding in it their favourites weapons)
- in all the explaining samples, the aliens are named Joe, Tom, Harry, and so on..
(Fortunately, not in the stories)

Currently, my generic space opera game of choice is Shatterzone.
