Back to 2300AD

[Sangelet]

After 20 years I am back to 2300AD. Good old game, lots of fun.
I am trying to catch up and I see lots of changes and rulebook. Too bad that all the rules are not all included in a single book but I suppose that the 2300 AD followers are not that many.

I recently purchased the new Ships of the French Arm: quite good and useful. But apparently I must have missed something. The book describes that the rules to create spaceships have been overhauled, particularly when calculating time from/to orbit.
According to Mongose 2300AD rulebook it takes 1 or 2 hours to reach orbit, and fuel is consumed accordingly.
But in Ships of the French Arm it just takes some minutes. I do not know the rules used to create these starships. Moreover, now it is unclear how much fuel is expended in every trip to / from orbit. As an example, how many trips from/to orbit can the LC-10 make in Grendel?
(Grendelssaga: an adventure set that I recommend, particularly the 2nd and 3rd part).
Any ideas?

There's a PDF of revised rules available:

Yes, thanks
I am aware of this. I purchsed them a couple of months ago
In this set of revised rules, page 195, you can see the typical times to/from orbit: around 2, 3 hours depending of hull type.
As the author says in Ships of the French Arm (which I assume is a more recent publicaton) that he has used a new set of overhauled rules I just thought that I have missed something. May be an article in a magazine?

The new set of rules is called "The Aerospace Engineer's Handbook" it will be out soon. Either just before or just after Atlas of the French Arm.

The revised times are based, to an extent, on real-flight times.

EDIT: Please ignore this daft post of mine. The question I posed was already answered on this thread

I have two (paper) copies of the unrevised 2300AD Core Rulebook.

Is there a list of changes available online so I can pencil in some changes and possibly print and glue in updated tables/diagrams?

Or will I have to go to my FLGS and buy new copies? If so, how do I verify that the shop's copy is the revised edition?

Thanks
