A lot of people around me were expecting 2.0 to come out, even as I doubted it. :)

I think it's a bit of sticker shock... those of us who have been the most devoted to the game, crossed 3 factions, purchased multiple copies of ships... we're the ones who are going to be paying quite a bit to transition to the new game. $150 minimum, probably $250 or even much more over time (given the size of my collection). And people who only run one faction and have only 1 or 2 of each ship are still looking at a $50+ transition.

That said, I think people should take heart that first edition is not being burned or illegalized. The transition period will probably have tournaments for both games, and many people will still play 1.0 for a while yet. Eventually most people will make the transition, and when they do, it'll be like getting all new ships and pilots because everything will play so differently.

My strategy right now is, don't deal with it because it's not a pressing concern right now. I'm probably going to order the rebel conversion kit when it's available and try out 2nd edition. If it impresses me enough, I'll start making additional faction transitions. Taking it slow works well for me.

In the mean time, I'm figuring out what to do with the wiki. With all the work ahead of us, I'll probably be pretty familiar with the game's new rules before I even play. ;)
