Greetings all. I haven't been on these boards in a long time. But I wanted to share our local approach to the upcoming change to 2.0 for a couple of reasons. One, so that you can find the flaws in my plan and help me work around them. And two, so that perhaps the idea will help another group transition a little more smoothly (assuming this works). As far as the title of the thread, we're having an event on release weekend to try to make a fun time of it. There's a whole scenario involved, but I won't get into that. It's not the current point. The real topic at hand is how we are hoping to address the conversion kits.
The premise is simple: We're going to combine the lists of all of our collections, determine the number of each kit needed to cover the entirety, and order them all together. Then we divide up the cost per ship (ignoring the miscellaneous 22 Decimators, etc) and each person pays per ship. So far, this works out better for pretty much everyone mathematically. We have several things we're considering doing with the spares, but that's more or less irrelevant. One way or another they'll be put to good use.
The only potential issue we're seeing right now is the upgrade cards. When this plan was initially conceived, I was under the impression that the kits basically included materials on a per ship basis. Now it looks like there will be a collective group of upgrade cards, oh which I've yet to see any real breakdown of the contents. Are there any others that you can see?
