So with Hyperloop and Outer Rim Smuggler having errata, I would love to see FFG be able to produce updated printings of this card. At least 4 people at tonight's Store Championship expressed frustration that they weren't aware of the Hyperloop Errata. Even though I believe it's the player's responsibility to look up errata cards online, it would great to have correct versions of these cards. I'm thinking they could accomplish this in 3 ways:

1) Players could send a SASE with their old cards to exchange their outdated cards for the cards with updated wording.

2) With each booster box of the next upcoming set, FFG could include 5-10 updated cards with the correct wording as box toppers.

3) Updated cards could be given out as part of the Game Night Kits.

It's probably best that FFG not print these cards at their Minnesota headquarters as the texture of the cards is different. Some people play with their cards unsleeved, and this could easily be counted as a marked card. Thoughts?

They might get reprints in a set at some point down the road. Otherwise, people can grin and bear it like the rest of the CCG community has been doing for decades. FFG just needs an Oracle analogue and the inconvenience will be trivial anyways.

TL;DR: don't sweat the small stuff.

I like the idea of a trade-in. Just get the incorrect versions out of circulation. That's what the US Government does with paper money - it would make no sense to send out new versions of money and make banks compete over them or sell newer, crisper money to the banks. Granted, trading cards are not legal tender, but the analogy still stands - FFG should be wanting to get rid of the cards they errata and be nice to their customers to build customer loyalty. So the trade-in kills two birds with one stone.

I agree with WonderWAAAGH that it's not a big deal right now... it's only a few cards that are very infrequently used anyway. However, if a good portion of the forum gets their way and expensive cards like Force Speed, Palpatine, Poe, Maz, even Rey get errata'ed, I think FFG owes it to the customers to replace the cards with the correct printings. Then they can do what most games need to do but don't - simply adjust costs, up or down, rather than trying to awkwardly alter the text of a card to "nerf" it.

There's just about zero chance of getting updated cards. Sure it would be nice, but print runs cost money. A LOT of money even if it's relatively small and just cards. Then to give it away for free just for an errata? There's no way. Especially with the relatively short cycle on the cards, you're just going to have to remember the changes and get used to it. That's just the nature of this sort of thing.

Having good customer service makes people more likely to be loyal to the game and continue paying $3 each for 5 ink-covered pieces of cardstock and a relatively cheap piece of printed plastic.

I think that removing unintended, abusive, infinite loop cards really is all the customer service required here TBH.

Getting updated errata versions of these cards would be nice for a select few, and FFG have for their other games printed promos of the errata'ed cards for events so that those that care enough about it can get them. But realistically the 2 cards that have been errata'ed so far function virtually exactly the same as they always did with the exception of unintended loopholes being exploited. 99.99% of the time these cards do exactly what they say they do already (excluding previously noted loopholes)

Now these cards see little play, with Jump showing up as a 1 of in the occasional Poe Maz deck. Most won't need updated versions of these cards anyway.

Also not to sound rude (and I apologize if this is actually true somehow) but I find it almost unbelievable that at a single event (a store championship no less) there were 4 players playing a Hyperloop deck, with all of those players apparently unaware of the heavily discussed and publicized errata to hyperspace jump card.
