Are they going to be updating the downloads page with the character sheets from the new class decks? Don't like to mark up my cards those big character sheets to print out are very nice.
We use clear sleeves (clear on both sides) and peel-off china markers. It's something I picked up from my father when he and I used to play Star Fleet Battles in the 80s, and it still works well to this day. I've been meaning to just laminate all the character cards for over a year now, but I still haven't gotten around to doing that.
(Although I'd anxious for them to catch up on the character sheets myself, simply because they make for quick reference on my computer when I don't feel like digging through all those boxes.)
Since there are already other threads about this topic, I won't search for the link again; Vic said they were reworking how they are generating the character sheets, and that it will take a while.
My personal interpretation is that this will automate the process and will lead to very quick releases of the sheets in the future, but we'll need to wait for now.
In the meantime, you can easily make a usable character sheet yourself in word or just write it down yourself; I've done this for several characters already, and it takes about 10 Minutes per character when you make a template first.
