Adventure Class Ships: Errata

Emperor Mongoose
I'll start it off with a nit on p. 118: Huntress needs to be TL12 to support jump-3
 
And to continue with this theme of TL nits: Patroller (p. 144) and Bombardier (p.146) need to be TL 11 to support Jump-2.
Related: TL12 needed for Nguksu to do Thrust 6,
That's all I saw on the really quick pass.

    • Armour should be 69.12t, MCr34.56.
      • That's a major difference from what's listed, and it doesn't gel with the deckplans. If you don't want to redo them almost from scratch, I'd suggest dropping the armour. 6 seems like a solid compromise.

Great collection of ships - some great sources for adventure and imagination.
My biggest nit is that for most of these deckplans there is only a single airlock (even though 1 is "assumed" with every 100DT according to High Guard) no matter the size of the ship - and often the airlock on the deckplan is an iris valve/hatch in the floor.
 
The problem with the Traveller airlock is that that is considered a freebie.

If you have to account for a one tonne turret per hundred tonnes, you definitely should account and pay for a two tonne airlock.
 
Airlocks include the compartmentalisation produced by bulkheads and hatches. An airlock does not necessarily have to be a door to space.
 
The generic freebie airlock is a two tonne hole in the outside hull.

However, you can creatively interpret what an airlock is, from a half tonne escape hole, to a cargo hold, with a sealed cargo hatch and bulkhead door.
 
On the plans, most of the turrets do not have a corresponding access hatch, would they then be considered "remote" turrets? Or are the plans missing the access hatches?

Mongoose really needs to hire you as an editor!
 
The Extended Merchant needs looking at! It has 150 power, but Basic Ship Systems use 100 and Maneuver or Jump Drive use 50 each. This means that the ship will need to be almost permanently running with lights dimmed, if they don't want to kill the low birth passengers, or need to use the sensors or fuel purification. For a ship with the expense of having a Vault, one or two more tons of Power Plant would make sense so that the ship can run without the lights being permanently dimmed, or to have the power to mount some weapons to defend that Vault!

This ship is based on the RX trader from Mgt 1st Edition Merchants and Cruisers. To better represent that I would suggest two more tons of power plant and 2 points of Crystaliron Armour (to defend the Vault). Altogether that would reduce the cargo to 214 tons and increase the price to 123.79 MCR, both entirely reasonable, I think.
 
There is still a problem with the Free Smuggler. The Fuel Tank Compartments only add another 10 tons of fuel, which is not enough for second Jump-1. The Fuel Tank Compartments need to be 20 tons to be of any use!

No, that means 10 tons of cargo are hidden in the fuel tanks. Hence why the J-1 tanks are 30 tons instead of 20.
 
I'm guessing the hard copies are all printed without these errata.. I'm not normally too fussy about such things, but in this case the stats _are_ the text of the book, and these errata seem pretty extensive.

On some of the ship plans the background color of the fuel processing space flips from dark grey to light grey (same color as the rest of the plan).

Some plans the fuel processor symbol is missing altogether and space color is dark grey or light grey.

Salvage Hauler, Upper Deck, Room 10. Since the sensor is 10 tons (2 squares), what is the rest of the space used for?
