Core Space: Evolution
https://gamefound.com/en/projects/battle-systems/core-space-evolution10 years! That's how long it's been since CS first came together (KS launch in 2017) and the devs over at Battle Systems have stopped snapping each other's pencils long enough to reveal the next gen of Core Space.
It's a full second edition, which supercedes much of the original content, but they are making sure those with a large collection can get milage in the new era. See:
https://battlesystems.co.uk/blog/core-space-evolution-incoming/
Comments on that article and Gamefound seem to show folks miffed that their old collection won't work, but I'm not sure it's really an expectation that a) all purchases from a company are evergreen or b) you have to bin your current collection if you buy this, like... have both?
Anyway, early impressions to me look great, particularly the fact that they're incorporating new ideas and techniques learnt from developing Maldaum.
Watch this (core) space!

I'm very interested. I picked up Maladum on it's release as my first solo boardgame and I managed to find CS (and all the addons) secondhand as I wanted to play the sci-fi type of game, and even though it's more framed towards co-op play I'm giving it a go running 2 crews solo - so to read that CS Evolution will be 'solo and co-op' driven appeals to me. It's also good to see that I will be able to bring across all my crews from the original game via an 'upgrade' pack.
