Reception
editWilliam A. Barton reviewed Merchant Class Ships in The Space Gamer No. 58.[1] Barton commented that "For the merchant-minded Traveller, Merchant Class Ships is a worthwhile investment, and, with the minor exception of the box weight, I can give it my highest recommendation."[1]
Bob McWilliams reviewed Merchant Class Ships for White Dwarf #36, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10 for the novice, and 7 for the expert, and stated that "the plans themselves and the supporting material show continuing improvement over past efforts from the company."[3]
