So I'm digging into CSC again, with an eye to coming up with a campaign equipment list somewhere in between it and Core in number of options. A couple questions arise.
Has anyone done an edited list like this? Or is CSC an open book to your players if you're using it?
I notice that, in regards to guns, some (but not all) of the damage numbers change from core to CSC for the same model. I would assume by default that the later product is correct, but I don't see any obvious rhyme or reason to the changes, so I have enough doubt to ask. Was CSC a rewrite of the gun numbers, or was it intended to work off Core as a base and fill in the gaps?
It doesn't help that CSC has a couple of obvious sweetheart options - one example is the Heavy Rifle, Bolt dealing 4d6+4 damage and the Big Game Rifle dealing 3d6+3. They have identical TL's and recoil, and the big game rifle costs more. I don't demand everything be equal, but when one's superior in every way I can't help think maybe there's a typo somewhere in damage, TL or recoil on one of them. Leave the sweethearts in, or "fix" them?
I guess more directly, are there errata documents for the 1e print books anywhere? But I'm curious about the above questions in their own right.
