Thought it would be neat to have a dedicated thread for all the errata for published ship designs.
In the 'Pirates of Drinax' book 'Ships of the Reach', the listed tonnages for the equipment on the Galoof-class 'megafreighter' is incorrect.
The Galoof carries 6x cargo cranes. The tonnage for a cargo crane is 2.5 dTons, plus 0.5 dTon per 150 dTons of cargo space. 6 cranes is a base of 15 dTons; plus an additional 51 dTons for the 15248 dTons of cargo volume. Either the Galoof is overpaying (304 dTons instead of (6 x 2.5) + 51 = 66 dTons) or underpaying (304 dTons instead of 6 x (2.5 + 51) = 321 dTons).
It also seems to have vastly more 'common area' (320 dTons rather than 88.5 dTons) and far more Crew than it needs, but those may be an active design choice instead of a math error.
