I was thinking- Why not take some of the improvements from CODA and import them into ICON.
For instance, COurage points could count as +2 per point in ICON, and those with the certain traits (like BOLD) could get +3 instead of +2 under the right circumstances.

I'm waiting to see the new system before I decide if I'm staying with ICON. One of the things I want to see is if the starship combat is better; if so, I'm using that instead of the the ICON one.
One thing I'm using in ICON already: no more freakin' tricorder skill; just gonna do the +2 to search, or what have you rolls.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

I can guarantee you that starship combat is better in Coda. Matt and I just had a conversation today about ‘cool new stuff’ coming up, and how we built a Sovereign. It was a badass.
It’s soooooo much better than the Icon one.

Kind of funny how differently people can think, the Personal Equipment (Tricorder) skill was one of the things I will keep, if I switch. I don't like a blanket bonus from technology...Equipment is only as good as the person operating it. Besides what is the difference between rolling (Int+Search+2) and rolling (Int+PE (Tricorder)?) It just seems somantics if you ask me.Originally posted by qerlin

I think what I do is add skill in Pers. Equipment (Tricorder) (or may part of it) to the approrpate skill in ICON. Or maybe treat it as a complementary skill, reducing the difficulty of the associated (some sort of science/medicne test). For instacne a successful tricorder roll could reduce the difficulty of a medical test by 1 step.

Don, stop teasing us.
You get us curious, but then can't answer questions because of the NDAs. It's like the old "I got a great secret game" kids play.
