Also 1st ed was very much limited to the default American setting, via the occupation templates - is there more scope for British European agencies this time?

Thanks cj.23!
Yes, Zener cards are still included and there is limited support for their use. The mechanic for them is simple but no doubt fun for many groups. Sampe Zener cards may be photocopied out of the back of the book. Keep in mind that support for them involves about two paragraphs of text explaining that the players of psychic characters can guess which one the GM has drawn in order to succeed at a psychic task.
As to compatibility, i'm not the best person to ask. I have Con X 1.0 but have never played it. I have AEGIS as well. Both books have material I would draw upon for a Con X game simply because the setting material in Con X 2.0 is sparse, so i'd say they're useful. Compatible though, I just don't know. I'm sure lonegunman could answer!
No, there is no support for European agencies. This book is very clearly focused on the United States.
