I won't vote, becausehiffano said:Ok guys, this has cropped up in another thread, so whaqt do you think?> should Mongoose make the Armageddon release a full on bonafide version 2, second edition including full rules and fleetlists? or is it too much too soon?
Actually, it's a yes... it SHOULD be a 2nd edition, it just won't...hiffano said:Technically wulf, that is a no![]()
The big difference here SHOULD be that each fleet is self-contained in a single book, either SFoS or a race-specific fleet book. So you only need that book. The trouble with BattleTech (well, one of the troubles with it... it was more trouble than it was worth once the Munchkins got at it) was the horde of variants and modifications available to virtually every army. Personally I would rather we had seperate fleet books for every fleet (at a fiver a time, like the Dilgar and, I assume, the Drakh), and the rulebook seperately. That would solve the problem, replacing a fleet book would be a minimal expense.l33tpenguin said:ugh.. I remember back in the day, rummaging through 30 different battle tech books putting together my armies and micromanaging them so I had the exact mechs I wanted, the refering to a foot tall stack with dates from like 2069 to 3,001,679 AD
Deffinately. If they do all that, it will probably be a 2nd edition for sure though.Lorcan Nagle said:chern has the right of it, I think
l33tpenguin said:Honestly, a true second edition should not be done unless a MASSIVE change to the rules base is done, or enough new content is added, including new rules, to warrent a new edition. Look at D&D, its been around since the dawn of roleplaying and its only in 3.5, which was a complete change from 2nd ed.

I hear that D&D Version 4 is currently being worked on. Plus there have been more than 3.5 versions of D&D:
1. Original Pocketbook Set
2. D&D
3. AD&D
4. Masters Edition D&D and I am sure more boxed sets I am missing
5. 2nd Edition
6. 3rd Edition
7. 3.5 Edition
I actually started playing when the Pocketbook set came out.
