@Tupper thank you so much for compiling the errata for Aliens of Charted Space! Mongoose, I'm begging you... please hire an editor!!

Has anyone role-played out having the Travellers' (or any) ship repossessed? I'm looking for other methods besides the obvious ship-to-ship combat and boarding action of securing a ship from its delinquent owners, and the blurb in CRB about skipping on payments isn't leaving me much to go on...

This is based on a misreading of the vehicle combat rules. CRB p.134: A hit of 1 point of hull is equal to 1/10 rounded up, or a critical hit of 1 (personally, I would round down), but this isn't unusual for a good shot who spent two rounds aiming. Per the example, a critical hit on the Hull...

I would rule that Armour subtracts from Effect first, or ignore Effect entirely as you say. Large targets being easier to hit doesn’t necessarily equate to them being easier to hit critically.

Maybe this will be covered by World Builder's Handbook or could be a topic for JTAS, but I could use more random starport/urban/rural/patron/quirks/encounter tables. Meeting a smuggler in a curio shop who shows you pictures of his children starts to get a little familiar. It's a lot of work to...

How will the Traveller Open Content and TAS programmes differ?

Spacecraft Operations > Passengers on p.149 "A Traveller with Steward 0 can provide suitable services for ten middle passengers." Trade > Passengers > Middle Passage p.206 "It requires a stateroom, 100kg of cargo, and one level of Steward per hundred passengers" Steward ranks for middle...

Spacecraft Sensors on p.150 "The kind of sensors a ship possesses depends on the sensor package installed (as listed under Sensor Types opposite)." EM is listed under Sensor Target and Sensor Detail, but Sensor Types on p.151 does not include EM or say at what level it becomes available (I...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but under trade, weapons are the only items listed as illegal goods on p.211. Common contraband on p.221 includes computers, technology, drugs, and weapons, but the law level on p.224 only mentions weapons. At what law level in a Feudal Technocracy (5)...

Pg. 212, line 36 'Availability' column lists "High Tech +2, High Pop". The +2 is a typo reserved for the Purchase DM modifier. Pg. 213, line 45 'Purchase DM' column "Asteroids" is plural, when it should be singular "Asteroid". Pg. 213, line 53 'Availability' column has a trailing comma...

A combat flowchart would be helpful, and the career flowchart needs work. I for one like the career pages being white-on-black, as they're easier to find. +1 on the index/glossary. p.45 the Old Ships Table is on page 164. It's a total art nitpick, but it is never addressed what that alien...

Two more errata/typos in the PDF: p.143, paragraph 4: "diamerter" p.150 table: "400,0000,000km" extra zero Is there a master list of these? I don't want to duplicate what someone else may have already posted.
