+1 to this. If they're not rolling out all of the new stuff at the same time, and they said they aren't, which I really don't understand, then it makes for a bad situation. Number one you have to decide which version of the game to play, if they're not compatible, and then you're immediately limited in the number of master's you can take. So if you're only playing M2E games, then it's possible you could not be able to play any of your crews, depending on what you have, or almost as bad, only being able to play one or two. If all of your gaming friends are playing M2E, and you want to play M1E, you're left out. It's just a really bad situation.
My vote, and I hope Wyrd will listen to this, is to have the public Beta, then release everything simultaneously, either later this year or early next, I'd rather see it all together.
