I got turned onto and seriously interested in this after playing it at Neon Con last November. I typically do NOT like Lovecraft, but this one found its way past my normal dislike. Here is a preview that might show why it may be of interest to others:

sounds cool. But, i would use starsiege or COC rules instead of traveller. it has a pulp feel and traveller rules, imo, wouldn't do it it justice.

Yeah, but your talking to someone who has used Traveller for about 25 years now, so I know it will do it justice, especially since it is written for the Traveller rules. Plus it did not have a "pulp" feel, it had a sci fi horror feel and worked fine with the Traveller rules along with the fear/insanity rules they made up for this.
I am sure it will work fine with StarSIEGE though.

How did it handle sanity checks? was it a task with dificulity dependent on horror value?

Sanity is fun. Losing it is better.
