I second that Second Dawn is an incredible update to Eclipse 1st Ed.!
The first edition grabbed my geeky attention so completely that it nearly formed an addiction before Second Dawn was on the horizon. I was immediately and fully onboard — to the point that I sourced minis for the ships (unique to each faction [eg. Silent Death & other OG pewter PCs, 3D-printing originals, etc.]) & the common non-chit pieces, painstakingly hand-painted them in faction themes (4+ colors ea), and ahemmight’ve even started a weekly public boardgame meetup under the pretense of secretly hoping to get it to the table as often as possible.
(What. 😶🌫️ ADHD + THC can be great… in every sense of the term. 🤪)
FWIW, Tabletop Simulator (Discord) is a pretty easy way to scratch that itch if you either can’t get your copy to the table in person often enough, or can’t afford one of your own, IMHO. Plus, the official Discord server for Arcs’ publisher, Leder Games, is chock fulla super nice people more than willing to play with all experience levels across the whole library of games available on TTS Steam Workshop page, in my experience! 🥳
