I've been wondering about this ever since I learned of the CE's existence:
How do you see the Cepheus Engine affecting the Traveller game and brand?
I'm definitely not talking about CE's relative merits as a system; let's assume it's awesome for this conversation.
How does CE/2d6 affect the game and brand of Traveller in its current "live" incarnations ( T5 and Mongoose 2nd ed ), Traveller-branded stuff sold anywhere now and in the future, the livelihood and viability of these Traveller-branded things themselves?
Are dollars spent on CE/2d6 material dollars lost for Traveller ( FFE and Mongoose, at the moment ), or are they a great hedge and investment in Traveller's future?
Do players in the CE system go on to spend dollars on Traveller material, or become Traveller fans and Refs, do you think?
