CRB vs. HG range tables... which one to use?

[Kingside_Bishop]

Hello everyone. I'm back with another quick query for the community.

A player in my PbP game recently raised the question: "Are we using the range table from High Guard?" I am a new GM, and had missed this table (HG page 73) on my skim of the book. I am all for using the most up to date edition of the rules, but am left a little confused here as HG does not specifically state that this new table supersedes the table found in the Core Rulebook (page 148), nor does it define the "optimum range" for existing weapons such as pulse lasers and particle beams. You can figure this out easily enough by consulting the range table in the CRB, but I would have expected this to have been explicitly provided if indeed I am to throw the CRB range tables out. Still, it feels like the intention is for me to supersede the CRB range table with the HG range table, but thought I would ask the community's advice, first. So:

If you have access to the Core Rulebook and High Guard, which range table do you use?

Thanks for any assistance you all can give.

High Guard as in terms of Beam Weapons in space they make the most sense.

I think you made the right choice using the one from the TMR, kingside.

I just wish my MRB actually had that table! There's reference to such a table and that's it. I take it mine is an older, unrevised edition.

Not that I can afford to have two books but, if there are more omissions, I may have to if I am using wrong or missing information during gameplay. Is the PDF version as up to date as possible?

Two tables. pg. 146 & 148. 146 is the overall range table. 148 is weapon mods for ranges. Let me know if missing and I'll pm them as pics.

Page 148 in my book is the Quick Resolution of Boarding Actions.

So, which tables are there? You is no weapon range table AND no general space range table?

I have the Range and Thrust to Change Table on pg. 146 but not the Weapon table.

The green-titled books are the advanced rules is all. As referee, you get to choose to use all or some of them or not.

Damn it! I was at my FLGS today and peeked in a copy of the core book on the shelf. It is definitely different than mine and also included the Weapon range modifier table! What else am I missing?

I've got old copies of the CRB and new copies of the CRB.

In the past I have downloaded errata for CRBs, printed them and glued them into the appropriate CRBs.

For missing bits of CRBs, may I suggest:-

I think the "Player's Guide" PDF may be the relevant file
