    It's been really quiet here. Is the game sinking into oblivion due to too simple rules?

I haven't played much with starships myself, but I hope that the situation will get better... with RPG, if nothing else.

reported no new starship ships or sets coming out in 2008. Probably just too many games.

I'm currently waiting to see Saga edition.  I'm definitely planning on using both the ships and other SWM figures to get a new campaign off the ground.  Based on the previews Saga edition looks excellent!

Yes id does Although I'm probably going to go True20 -way, which has lots of similar improvements over basic D20.

Starships was originaly announced as a self contained game right?

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

I think in this case it might be that there aren't any more they can make. I'm not a Star Wars expert to know how many more ships there are, but if there aren't any more ships, they can't make another expansion.

Completed trades: blackthorne, Drakkengi,Thorgrin, Ironfist Boulderbender x2, ckissee, nasamonkey, Username, Star, Ace13 x3, emontedodger x2, Drconveyor, church, Joeyb, Sir Bozak The Damned, Xeromod, the other guy x2, Qucalion of Celene, Dagaron x2, berus316, qillan_dvra, AshloreDarkShadow

I'm certain there can be about 10-20 more, so what about a smaller set? Or reprint some good ones of the first set to bump it to 30.

Right of the head:

Old Rep ships
Leviathan!
Ebon Hawk!
ships of unique heroes
Yuuzhan Vong ships
some fodder cruisers
pirate ships

Not sure, then. This and the SWM line in general are in a lot of ways more complicated to make because of the licensing issues, too. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes that would prevent another expansion. But again, just because people say no new stuff in 2008, doesn't mean no new stuff in 2009.

yeah... Who would have thought that Hasbro would convince LucasArts to ditch Decipher? I mean, how gows the CCG too? Is it dropping off as well?

I always try to send through delivery confirmation, and I expect the same. It's only 55 cents extra, so it's just a little more than a pay phone call, so just do it for the Kai. I prefer to trade with people in the US and Canada, sorry everyone else.

On Wiz Boards I have read that "it would take a miracle to make new ships". Sorry, it was said non-officially to someone there. Looks kinda bad( So many ships await.

I have a good sized collection I would sell if the price were right

I still haven't found someone to play a single skirmish. I had anticipated more of my friends/family being interested. I am only missing one ship and have a pretty good collection.

Interest has died off a fair bit locally. There use to be 2 tournaments a month on Saturdays that had small but regular attendance. That's being dropped to 1 as interest wanes.

Doing too much at once, which WotC is doing, they're going to cause most of these games, even the good ones to fail. Just like they did with having 5-8 CCGs at once, only one survived.

I agree. They need to focus more attention on DDM.
