Has anyone made a character conversion chart between the two versions yet, or do I have to figure it out myself?
Character Conversion Between 1.0 and 2.0
- Thread starter Solomani666
- Start date

You shouldn't really need a chart - it's mostly just minor skills adjustments. (Consolidated electronics, gun combat and sciences mostly)
There are some equipment differences, like auto ratings, and occasionally a 1e item is not found in 2e, but not a whole lot that my group has found so far.
We haven't concerned ourselves with price differences of gear and the additional restrictions on mustering out items - that may be more important is the characters are brand new...

Conversion is a bit more entailed than you discribed:allanimal said:
Zero-G = Athletics (Dex) -1
Battledress = Vaccsuit -2
etc...
Looks like I'll have to add railgun barbettes and a few weapons and tailored vacc suits.
My players are going to keep whatever they mustered out with.

When we switched over, we mapped zero-g directly to athletics(DEX) and battledress directly to vacc suit. There were a couple cases where a 1st Ed char had say both battledress and vacc suit, in those cases, we made sure the 2nd ed char could use equivalent armor as before.
Also, in cases where someone had, for example, gun combat (slug pistol) and gun combat (slug rifle), the conversion to gun combat (slug) we usually added the numbers. One character would have ended up with a quite high number (6 I think), and asked if he could move a point or two to something else, I was ok with that.
Same went for someone with say remote ops 0, computers 0 and sensors 0. One could just give them electronics 0 and be done with it, but that represents a bit of a skill loss. I would let them bump up two of the new electronics specialities to level 1.
It has been a while since we did this so don't remember the details 100%. I did write it down, I'll try to dig it up...

I just made a pretty comprehensive conversion chart that can be found here:
