Es ist bestätigt von offizieller Seite: Die zweite Edition kommt!!!
Und es ist keine "Evolution" Edition!
Das heisst:
-nicht alles aus Plastik
-kein Prepainted
-keine kastrierten Regeln
Hier die offiziellen Infos aus dem Mongoose Publishing Forum vom Chef Matthew Sprange:
Hi guys,
I just wanted to drop in here and explain a few things about the State of the Mongoose address and how it pertains to SST. If you have not read the address yet, stop now, and have a look at the State of the Mongoose forums!
So, yes, SST will be returning in the form many of you asked for it, with rules based on the original game, and nary a unit card or pre-paint in sight! If such things do occur, they will happen alongside the main game, not instead of (think of them as SST Lite).
Over the next few months, we'll be previewing various models and rules systems, here, in Planet Mongoose and in S&P, and your input would be appreciated. After all, once you buy it, it becomes your game, and we want it to be the very best it can be.
In terms of miniatures, the entire line is getting overhauled. Some models will be staying, others will be replaced or deleted entirely. For example, the Brain Bug will be going, to be replaced with a one piece resin model (with a couple of extra metal bits, such as legs and brain sucker), much to the rejoicing of Arachnid fans, I imagine. The current Tanker will be going altogether, replaced by a truly fabulous model (you have to see it to believe it!), and air units will be put front and centre - these have been made a priority in the design process, so expect to see finished Skyhooks, TAC Fighters, Vikings and Slingshots relatively soon.
What this means for the miniatures line is that, at the end of the year, we will be withdrawing it from sale. In effect, SST will be disappearing for a few short months as we reorganise and repackage everything. Just wanted to let you know that, so you don't panic come January 1st! Therefore, if there are any models you are desperately after at the moment, now's the time, as in 2008, they might not be around at all.
When SST v2 dawns, it will be with complete army lists, a ton of new background material explaining just how Skinnie society is organised, and just how the MI is structured (to pick two topics), and a set of solid armies - as well as the Arachnids, MI and Skinnies, the Forth will be making their debut and, if we can squeeze them in, the Coven too.
We have some other bits and pieces planned for SST. If, for example, you have been reading about the Earth-Centauri War for the CTA campaign weekend and feeling a bit left out, don't worry. We have the mother of all campaigns in the works for SST!
