So, this ought to annoy some fans who can’t afford the asking price, but:
Not a new edition, but an update. It will now include new art, including a different way of presenting ship deck plans, basic ship and vehicle building rules and an index (hurrah!).
It will still be 100% backwards compatible (same rules), so you don’t need to change your old books, it just includes a bit more information from the CSC, High Guard and Vehicles books than before. There will be a standard book release and this image is just a pre-published copy of what the limited edition will look like.
I note that the 2300AD box set is having info added too at the moment, and I think we may see some changes in the High Guard book at least as they alter the deck plans in that too. My campaign next year to my players will definitely be Traveller now - although I don’t know whether to run 2300AD, Deepnight Revelation or some bespoke campaign in the Spinward Marches or Solomani space. We could also return to Pirates of Drinax which we got about half way through (before switching over to a Masks of Nyalthotep campaign which took the best part of 2 years to complete) or even potentially a Star Wars campaign with that unofficial PDF. Not really that interested in the Mercenary and Frontier Wars stuff, tbh, although I wonder if they’ll crank up a miniatures line to support it.
