As Matt has given the impression of before though, it's a different team working on the ships that don't affect the development line of the first one, does it matter?
I mean if the difference is between new stuff coming out or new stuff sitting on the shelf while we're still waiting on promised ships...does it matter or should Mongoose pull everyone off development of 2nd edition and concentrate on "finishing" ships released in Armageddon?
If that means stockpiling models for 2nd edition rather than releasing in S&P all the better - that means there is plenty when 2nd edition IS eventually released? I'm not saying what I prefer, just offering up the question for discussion to feedback to Mongoose. Personally I think they've gone out of their way to show willing support to the ACTA community...now whether constant attention is a good thing or not, that's another discussion!
