Core rules could definitely use help.

If a game is a house, the core rules are the foundation. In order to build the rooms (faction books), you have to have a solid base to build on.

Well I guess we would need to outline the core rules

In my mind core rules would be

Phases
Shooting
Movement
Assault


To me those are the foundations of the house. Once you iron out those out I think you just need to do number tweaking.

I think the biggest issue is
1) number of high AP weapons
2) number of special rules in general.
3) formations

Im not against outsourcing rules, but that will make the game VERY different then what we have, possibly even change core mechanics. Would the community be able to handle that? I mean we have a habit of hating EVERYTHING.

Quite a lot of us hate current core mechanics. And core mechanics change from edition to edition anyway.
