Build.  A haphazard Frame -- my creativity deserted me while I was trying to build something --  and two pieces of 1 Hit Cover.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  This set has a bunch of interesting parts, it really deserves a re-visit sometime when my creativity is actually engaged.
