This is all my personal opinion, but the overall impression is a little disappointing. I am looking for good designed deck plans and have purchased the Galaxy Pirate bundles and the ships containing deckplans in there was good work. When I saw that the Terran Scout was released I had higher expectations.
It seems like Evil Robot Games cartographer have been working hard with getting a nice surface finish and light settings. It creates an industrial "worn" look when it comes to the interior of the ship. Nice touch in comparison to the old more "drawn" deck plans. Progression I think.
Then it comes to the design. The ship is badly designed and I would never like to be an adventurer-rogue-trader-space pirate using this "skiff" as a home between the stars. For instance, there are not much space in the crew nor the captains cabins. Just beds / bunks. Cargo hold is in between crew quarters and ships mess. The mess is poorly drawn and don´t bring up anything good for me to say. It just feels meh. No or little furnishing makes it feel that something is missing. It might work as an "opposing force" skiff.
Cargo hold, too small and with no cargo ramp or dock.
The prow: what´s going on there? Is it a working staton? Dock?
The scale on the drawing on lower and higher deck differs, this is both confusing and annoying.
On the plus side there is the bridge. Nice work with both looks and design. I enjoyed this and it feels like a good base of operations when it comes to space fighting and just flying casually.
Overall personal opinion: Nice finish but poorly and a hasty designed ship / skiff. It feels fast made with not much thoughts on the design. I have seen better from ERG and hope I will in the future. 3 stars out of five for the finish.
