Main Rulebook - the Difference between v.1 and v2

[Ector]

Could anybody provide me a list of changes in Main Rulebook v.2 compared to v.1 (besides the art, of course)?

Apart from the different artwork, the first printing's errata should contain
most of the differences. They are here at the bottom of this page among
the downloads, titled "Player's Guide":

Thanks a lot! But there are no differences in starship design, and my question was inspired by the words from High Guard: "Page 109 of the core rule book (first printing) is now amended." (page 42). I've thought that second version should have something changed, but didn't find any differences. Looks like the page was amended in both versions.

Hmm. My v1.2 (LBB version) states that fission plants provide half the power points, rather than the High Guard rule that they are twice the cost and tonnage.

Using the rules in the basic book a Free Trader would need to install a type B fission plant, massing 3 tons and costing MCr8. Using High Guard, the plant is rated as type A, but is 4 tons and MCr8.

I would say that *neither* printing has been amended, but that the High Guard author assumed or was told that the 2nd printing onward would be.

(Don't get me started on all the errata still to be addressed in v1.2...)

Somewhere in another thread I made the comment that I'd gladly buy a 2nd edition main rule book, even this early after the release of the 1st edition. I'll reiterate that point here, for obvious reasons.

Similarly, do we have any confirmation that LBB Mercs and HG are updated in any way aside from their erratas being applied? (And can we assume they do have their errata applied?)

As errata was asked about before each LBB one would assume it's been applied to those editions.
