I don't usually ask about specific cards; but in this case I'll make an exception. Did Nelvana Trap & Once More Unto the Breach make it?
Nelvana Trap (and Jem'Hadar Strike Force, and the rest of the Assault/Maneuvers) were in the file, and we couldn't get a template that everyone was happy with. Charlie has mentioned Project Warrior - that's a new project specifically to crack that particular nut because it needed more focused attention.
They're the only 2E cards I much care about being converted, it would be a shame to lose the unique interaction that each currently provides. Much as I'm no fan of 2E, and retaining cards for which their compatibility (much less utility) in 1E was entirely an afterthought (if any thought was given at all), I'd be very bummed to lose those two.
So I'm really hoping to not find that there was room for a bunch of non-conversions at the expense of not converting things like the above -- or that these didn't make it 'for space' and somehow there was room for 2 versions of Patrick in the set.
I think of the non-conversions as "plus ones" - they're the extra page of cards to fill out conversions. If anything, they opened up room for a couple extra cards to get us to a nice multiple of nine. Cards got cut because they weren't working, never to "make room".
