I don’t plan to buy the expansion (and I’m an expansion whore, so this is a big deal).
I like the new ships, but I really dislike the cinematic combat (and I really liked the interaction between dice and tactic cards in the original system).
I do like the new ships and green dice, but the leaders - while I don’t dislike them - only serve to dilute our chances of recruiting each of the classic characters which I like a lot more.
