Well I just started playing this game and I like it quite a bit .I hope mongoose is working on some prepainted ships for this game hence the taking away of some great ship mini's .All I can tell you is that I already have people interested in playing and they want mini's as I do !! i just have vorlons now which I love. This could be a growing instead of dying game .My cousins in another city have gotten me interested and the are new converts .Other systems take too long to play and are not as balanced as this one (I have played quite a few ). Just keep at it long timers dont give up hope just get some newbies interested and we can proxy till they see the folly of their ways !!!
