New edition and old books

How compatible are they? Will they all be re-released?
I have been able to use a lot of my old 1e stuff. Some things need slight adjustments of course, but for the most part it is not hard to mesh things. That is just my opinion of course. :D
 
Its easier to just rebuild ships if you want them to be fully compatible. If you are not engaging in ship combat (instead of combat on a ship), using 1e MGT is perfectly fine. Most careers port over rather easily (with some adjustments needed with the skills). Vehicles and Robots, well, we don't know yet exactly how they will be.
 
For quick and dirty conversion you could do what I do:
1. Just calculate the hull points.
2. Keep the same armor values.
3. Convert each weapon to the new values.
4. Multiply the operational weeks by 2.
5. Keep the same jump and maneuver stats.
6. Assume there is just enough power for all systems except when making a jump, or with jump if military.
7. Keep the same deck plans. (Doesn't effect combat, only boarding actions.)

You can do all the other calculations and redraw the deckplans later if desired.
