Pioneer Errata

Page 26, Military career skills table, Flight section, there is no entry for a roll of 5.
Perception, Orbital Mechanics or Zero-G might be appropriate. Charm might also work for pilots mystic or Remote Operations for remote pilots or weapons operators as well.

Page 11, "If the Pioneer species" should be "If the Pioneer specifies". This paragraph makes it appear that Military Academy is an option, but this is the only place in the book this is mentioned.

During Character Generation, can a Pioneer change career from a Crew type career into a Passenger type career, and vice versa? There is nothing in the rulebook to say they can't, but the crew/passenger distinction suggests to me that there is supposed to be separate career paths between the two categories.

The Pioneer PDF internal links don't work the same as Traveller CRB PDF. Namely:

• Clicking on a Table of Contents item resizes the page as well as taking you to the page number. Please don't resize the page.
• Clicking on an Indexed item has no effect unless you specifically click on the page number. This is different behaviour compared to Traveller CRB PDF.

I would expect this to be possible, the change career text just says you need to qualify or creation ends. There's no draft like regular Traveller.

Yes, I understand that is the current rules as written in Pioneer. Since that distinction does not exist in regular Traveller, I am just querying if the Pioneer rules need to be firmer in either allowing or limiting career transfer between crew careers and passenger careers? As I am aware that various gamers can get confounded by what isn't said more than what is said - and this being a draft document, it seems like a valuable time to catch that sort of thing out.

That's fair, but here in the pre-Pioneer era we all have to admit life and career paths can change a lot in four years.
