That said, it's probably my least favorite version of the rules due to splat bloat and poor design (especially where kits were concerned).[Edit: I should clarify the "poor design" comment. Initially, the Second Edition of the game was altered to asuage a group of individuals who had no personal stake in the products or the hobby (right-wing political activists). That was bad right off the bat. The other big design blunder was the push for splats near the end of TSR's life, especially since most of them were never checked against existing books or other splats to determine whether the rules were actually valid extensions of the core rule set or if they even made sense when compared to other books marketed as companion volumes.]</blockquote>
