What To Expect In Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition

So this caught my eye on their site:

Updated advancement and reputation rules. The well-received rules for character advancement and reputation first featured in The Klingon Empire core rulebook are present in the new edition.

Anyone know what this means?

Probably that they are using that system from now on. It‘s also in the digest-sized rulebook from the Tricorder set.

Yeah, I got that much. But what is the new system?
I read the old rulebook, so I know what the original system was, but I haven't read the Klingon book.

Looking forward to the new edition.

The advancement and reputation rules in the Klingon Core Rule Book basically put advancing your character in the hands of the player through the use or challenging that Charater's values. Gone is the table voting from the 1e book.

I am still a little miffed about eliminating challenge dice. i think they add something to the game. That said, i have not played any of the versions of 2d20 that don't use them, so maybe it works fine.

All of these changes sound good to me. IIRC this comes out in August? September? Looking forward to it.

The Dune RPG is Challenge Diceless. It works very well. I enjoy the challenge dice too. I had Captain Shaw sign the blank faces of mine. I am very interested to see how Star Trek implements this new version of the 2D20 system.

How do they get effect levels (such as damage) with just d20s?

In Dune, things that do damage are at a baseline 2 damage. If you have a better version of that weapon the damage starts increasing (A crysknife, compared to a dagger) or you can spend Momentum to increase the damage.
