SF Errata 16/05/12

[MongooseMatt]

Just to let you all know, a tweaked errata has been posted - just a few changes to the fire arcs of some ships and a few other bits and pieces, nothing world-shattering! We are told this should be the last of the errata for a good while.

You can grab a copy at;

and the winner is ....... the C8. Finally it has varing arc's for 'that' Phaser-1 battery

 

[MongooseMatt]

Not sure I would describe it as a 'win' for the C8, but it will make SFU-purists happier

Doesn't that just figure. I just had a C8 record sheet laminated.

I feel your pain brother I really do!

One that popped out for me "D5W change points to 185" Its already 185! Typo or just randomly in there?

I think thats because on the last Erratta sheet the D5W popped upto 190 now it was posted again just to let people know its back down to 185.

I don't have the book to compare it to, but it looks like the K9R has been re-jigged, also.

 

[The Big D]

It has indeed. A couple of the phasers have gone from F,P F,S to A,P A,S.

It makes sense given the arcs on the K9R in fed com.
What doesn't make sense is that although in fed com the C8 may have a different number and type of phasers to K9R they are on the same relative mounts with identical arcs, but in ACTA the fire arcs are completely different for the 2 ships!

Not that I mind. Those little differences keep the game interesting!

[Isoulle]

Is there a list of the changes made in the latest eratta?

 

[Red-24]

Here are all the changes I can see since sferrata190412.pdf

Page 19
When using Transporters, the ship will have Shields 0 in the fire arc to which the transporters are being used.

Klingon
D5 War Cruiser: Change to 175 points - down from 180 on last eratta
D5W New Heavy Cruiser: Change to 185 points - down from 190 on last eratta

Gorn
Heavy Battlecruiser: Change damage to 40/14 - new

Orion
Light Raider: Any Disruptors are limited to Range 15 - new
Raider Cruiser: Add a third Fore arc Weapon * with 1 AD. - I think they mean Matrix-class Destroyer. This used to just say Raider, which I thought was Light Raider, but I think it alsays meant the Destroyer since it already has two Fore arc weapons

Civilian
Free Trader/Prime Trader: Change Damage to 6/2. Any fleet may take a Phaser-2 as a Variable weapon. Disruptors are limited to Range 15. - the disruptor limit is new
APT/Armed Cutter: Change Damage to 4/2. Gorn and Romulan ships have a Plasma-D launcher instead of drones. - Gorn and Romulan notes are new

Full ship replacements:
Klingon
FD7 - Phaser-2's changed from PH and SH to A,P and A,S and dropped from 3AD to 2AD. - new entry
C8 - Phaser-1 was 10AD with a special, now 2AD F, 4AD PH, 4AD SH. - new entry

Romulan
KRC - Phaser-1 PH and SH 1AD changed to Phaser-1 2AD T. - previously was just damage change
KC9R - Phaser-1 F,P 2AD and F,S 2AD change to A,P 2AD and A,S 2AD - new entry

Kzinti
Medium Cruiser - Phaser-1s back to 2AD (from 1AD), damage still updated to 22/8

For the Orion Raider they do mean the Raider. There is going to be some confusion due to an error though and it would be good to see the errata include a corrected image of the Raider, which is misnamed in the book as a Matrix Class Destroyer in its pretty image section (a typo seemingly carried over in a copy paste from the Tholian section during production, which is where the Matrix class destroyer is correctly described). The Orion Raider class ship is correctly listed in the fleet description and list at the beginning of the Orion section, though.

Its reasonably obvious if you happen to be an existing SFU player, but as you might expect not so easy for people new to the universe - however it can be worked out in a non-trivial fashion from the combination of errata phrases, and comparison of the THolian and Orion sections....

The D5 and the D5W were changed to 180 and 190 points briefly thru an earlier erratta. This just changes them back to the original point cost.

 

[JohnDW]

I'm sorry, I didnt mean to bring up the d5 and the d5w, I bolded the part about the heavy battlecruiser because thats what I was talking about. Guess I should just cut everything else I'm not talking about in future quotes heh.

Edit: I think there might have been some confusion, looking at the errata, its the gorn ship that gains the damage score, not a klingon ship.

 

[Trenchbucket]

Well The changes seem fair, thouogh my beloved KC9R loses four forward firing phasers, but its still a beast as its the plasma's that do most of the damage and anyway i always more ships behind them than in front (wonder why) and it can shoot 10 phasers to the rear and 8 to the front :shock: . I always said Romulans were backwards.

Bring on the condor!

 

[richardcarr2]

With the KC9R loosing the 12AD phaser 1 in F arc, Condor now looks like it will be part of my fleet.

Also noticed:

Sparrowhawk back upto 30 Damage

and

Fasthawk, lost 8 Damage, but gained 2 phaser 1 ADs, 1 in F,P and 1 in F,S

yeah but remember that the condor is still a brick in space! Also the sparrow hawk can only shoot 8 plasma a turn so the bit in between reloading it has a frigate type firepower (still a bargin at 170ptd though). I think the the fast hawk hit points are now right, i mean it had more hitpoints than the heavy cruiser!

Though for now i am looking at my Klingon fleet (one fleet at a time :twisted: )

Over all the errata is fair, until the space cats come and we watch our poor fleets go pop.

"If i adjust this i have 60 shield and 40 phaser 1's, though it also mean my viewer scope camera is now in my port nassell behind the manifold"

Sorry. I forgot to put the heading for Gorn. Corrected now.

Yes, but those were already in the April 19th errata.

Nice to see its not all bonuses for the Romulans - the Behmoth is still a very powerful ship - 12AD phasers 1's did seem excessive compared to the other dreadnoughts (including the Klingon one on which it was based)
