I don't.

though I am curious as to your problem with the sourcebook. (I don't have it so a review would be appriciated)

After the well done Merc Town, the poorly done reprint/useless material/crack in Merc Ops was quite dissappointing. You could have cut two thirds of the book easily and added them to Merc Town. (Of course the same holds true for Merc Adventures.) The new stuff was mostly reprints, either from other books or Rifter #4, the Wanted NPCs were page fillers (as was the whole page devoted to reprinting the missile table), and the GAW "MDC updates" of several contemporary weapons were worse than the contemporary versions.

I tend to use various books on the subject, or excerpts thereof.
Janes is a good one.
Cruising thru Barnes and Noble and Borders, I find some gems on the Bargain tables.
