High Guard Errata

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

Well, someone had to start it.

PLEASE only list actual errata and corrections (if known). If you disagree with a rule, that goes in a different topic.

Table of Contents is from Mercenary

Page 4 "Naval Career Path"

The first paragraph has a reference to the Naval Campaign Section, but lists the page as "(see page XX)"

Should be "(see page 145)"

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

Page 101 and 102 - Sylea Class Battleship

Jump Drive rating is listed as 3
Jump Fuel is listed as one Jump-4

Either the Jump Rating should be 4 (with associated loss of cargo space for the bigger engine) or the Jump Fuel should be listed as:

one Jump-3 and one Jump-1

This is a clarification thing.

Page 59 - Small Craft Design Performance by Hull Volume

Ships under 60 tons can have performances exceeding 6. No explanation is given for why this is possible on these small ships but not possible on larger ships. If this performance is limited to the PP, then it needs to state that clearly.

All of the events tables have a "See page XX" in the life events entry (41 to 46 d66).

p. 2: The Imperial Navy - last line has a font size change, suddently goes smaller.

p. 3: Weird font in the middle of the first para on the page.

p. 4: The Naval Career Paths (1st para): "see page XX"

There are also quite a number of Font size changes thoughout the book. I will make a list of where they are post it here.

That's a lot of errata, I hope they fix it all in the third print run.

This is a carryover from the TMB:

In several of the career skill tables and events tables you list the Navigation Skill.

That skill is not listed in the TMB under skill descriptions on page 56 where it should be, as such we don't know what that skill is or what it does. Should this be Astrogation or is page 56 missing the skill description of Navigation (ground based movement?)?

I havent seen it yet and so cant comment about it, looking at some of these comments they look like things we said in the playtest.

Naval Events table is on page 38. Looked it up in the index, which is correct so the TOC being wrong is no biggie.

What realy sucks is being stuck here in nebraska, I want the book. errors or not. Everytime its about ready to ship, it gets stopped. If it happens again, its realy gonna impact my desire a bunch. Heck I might as well just wait for T5 . Im a Gearhead at heart. For now im just sticking with MT. Guess that will have too do.

Tired of getting my hope slashed repeatedly.

It wears on a guy.

Grufty, unless your copy is different from mine (Which it might be I suppose, since I don't seem to have the Merc TOC at the front, all those paras and part paras are examples, so I think the different font style is deliberate, see P. 79 LH column for a few more examples.

Plus my copy has spacing in those paras.

Nah mine's one of the "wrong ToC" batch. And those are definitely incorrect font faces and sizes, with a distinct lack of spaces between the words, in the copy I have in front of me now.

Astrogation, would be my call.

Fair enough.

Sounds like the one I have, with almost no TOC (Which I thought was the one that hadnb't been released into the wild) has less problems than the one with the Merc TOC.

p42 Reaction Drives are stated that they take up the same space and cost less but on the Small Drive Costs and Tonnage table they are smaller.

p42 states that Chemical Powerplants are 40% bigger but doesn't mention cost. Small Drive Costs and Tonnage them at various % costs.

p63 The costs per ton of Powerplant seems at odds with previous information which has TL15 Fusion Plants at double cost wheres here they are the same Cost.

Subcraft hangar numbers are silly, but I suspect that falls under "disagree with a rule" instead of errata.

Discrepancy between HG and TMB over the fire control allocation for fixed mounts concerning small craft.

In TMB, fixed mounts require 0 tons for fire control, whereas in HG they require 1 ton just like a turret. This is replicated in the fighter designs listed later.

In fact, this makes fixed mounts markedly inferior to a turret.

Now, if it followed the TMB way, where fixed mounts take up no tonnage, this would make much more sense, and make fighters more viable.

Has anyone noticed that it is impossible to get medic skill until you join the Support branch (medical). In both TMB and Crew branch there are no Medic skills. So the previous service to get into Medical is impossible.

In TMB I have subsituted Navigation (imo useless) in the Advanced Education Table for Medic. And with Crew you can subsitute any of the Advanced Education skills.
