The Official Typo Sweep

Finally dug through the rest of the book, here are the rest of the typos I found. Sorry if they are repeats of upline, but it was easier to put it all into a word document and then just copy it over.

Starting at the Vehicle Chapter:

Pg 130, Vehicles, Intro paragraph 1
IS: … billions of vehicles exist across Charted Space.
SHOULD BE: … billion of vehcles exist across the galaxy.
(Charted Space is very OTU – Keep it generic)

Pg 130, Vehicles, Intro Paragraph 2
IS: … and it is important they know how all function.
SHOULD BE: … and it is important that they know how they all function.

Pg 130, Grav Vehicles, Last Sentence on the page
IS: … are unaffected by the Atmosphere and Size of worlds they travel to.
SHOULD BE: … are unaffected by the Atmosphere and Size of worlds they travel on.

Pg 132, Dogfight, Last Sentence on Page
IS: …in a dogfight gains DM +2to all his attack rolls for this round while the loser suffers DM -2.
SHOULD BE: … in a dogfight gains DM+2 to all his attack roll for this round while the loser suffers DM-2.
(Spaces around the DM are wrong)

Pg 150, Repairs, Critical Hit, Second sentence
IS: Properly repairing a critical requires not only…
SHOULD BE: Properly repairing a critical hit requires not only…
(Add “hit” after critical for clarity)

Pg 153, Transit Times
IS: One Light-Second is 30,000,000 km
SHOULD BE: One Light-Second is 300,000 km

Pg 205, Using Psionic Talents, 1st Sentence
IS: … adding his PSI DM, along with and any other appropriate DMs.
SHOULD BE: … adding his PSI DM, along with any other appropriate DMs.
(Drop the “and”)

Pg 214, Trade, Text Box “Referee’s Note: On Trade, 2nd Paragraph, 1st Sentence
IS: We recommend that for most campaign, referees…
SHOULD BE: We recommend that for most campaigns, referees…
(should be plural, not singular)

Pg 214, Passengers, Intro Paragraph
IS: Passage on board any ship is standardized into three categories; high passage, middle passage, and low passage, reflecting…
SHOULD BE: Passage on board any ship is standardized into four categories: high passage, middle passage, basic passage and low passage, reflecting…
(you left out the new Basic Passage)

Pg 215, Passage and Freight Costs, Jump 6
IS: over a 10-fold increase in costs of all types at Jump 6
SHOULD BE: Drop a zero, I think you are charging WAY too much, or you need to increase the costs at Jump5 and Jump4
ALSO: Why the huge jump between Jump-2 and Jump-3? There should be a steady increase in prices, not huge jumps at J-2 and J6. It looks like J3 is about Cr10000 too high and J6 is about 10x to high

I realize that Matt has said Jump-6 is Expensive and I agree, but it is not 10x more expensive that Jump-5... There should be something smoother...

Pg 217, Exciting Passengers, Text Box, 2nd Paragraph, last sentence
IS: …or anything else the referee can devise to make like ‘interesting’ for the Travellers.
SHOULD BE: … or anything else the referee can devise to make life ‘interesting’ for the Travellers.
(life not like)

Pg 224, World Creation, Paragraph 4
IS: … Size, Atmosphere, Hydrology, Population…
SHOULD BE: …Size, Atmosphere, Hydrographics, Population…
(On page 226 you call it Hydrographics, which is the MGT1 term)

Pg 234, Facilities
You say that Capital Ships are “more than 5,000 tons” here, but on page 142 you call a Capital Ship “A ship of more than 2,000 tons” – Make up your mind and be consistent.

Pg 234, Bases
IS: … for more details, see Bases opposite.
SHOULD BE: … for more details, see Bases on page 235.

Pg 238, Sindal, 4th Paragraph, 3rd Sentence
IS: … they will gobble up the warring worlds of this sector in a bloody…
SHOULD BE: … they will gobble up the warring worlds of this sub-sector in a bloody…
(Sub-Sector instead of Sector)

Pg 242, Albe, Patron, Mission and Description
IS: … as he has spent 99.999% of that time in a stasis field, …
SHOULD BE: … as he has spent 99.999% of that time in a cryoberth, …
ALSO: 2nd Paragraph of Mission says Stasis Field instead of Cryoberth or Low Berth.
(No stasis fields in Traveller!)

Pg 248, Theev, Patron, Mission, Last Paragraph, 2nd Sentence
IS: …and then being carried onto Dolberg.
SHOULD BE: … and then being carried on to Dolberg.
(on to not onto – needs to be two words)

Actually, considering that this is a 248 page document, this isn't too bad and it got better as it went along. Now, off to address design issues in the other forums! :twisted:
 
Pg 243.
Chalchiutlicu section

The first line misspells Chalchiutlicu as Chalchuitlicu (i.e., ui instead of iu). This misspelling is repeated at the beginning of the next paragraph; "Chalchuitlicu exports radioactives..."

I'm assuming the spelling on the map and the section title is correct.
 
I'm going to go section by section:
Introduction
P4, Game Conventions, 1st para, 1st line: is “A quick discussion of various terminology…”, replace with “A quick discussion of terminology…” ("various" implies there's something "different" about the terms, when in fact all of those listed in this section have to do with dice rolling)

Is: Gain any augmentations (see chapter 99)

Not a typo so much as a format error. Page 113 on the September Updated CRB under the Tool Kits, the first four kits use one format and the last two use a very different format. I would imagine you mean for all six to use the same format.

Side note, they are also still missing any price and thus it is unclear what a Character should pay for their tool kit(s).


Also in the "16 - For the Discerning Weapons Specialist" Chapter both the Melee and Gun Combat weapons sections say they need the Gun Combat skill to use them effectively. I would imagine you mean the Melee weapons to need the Melee Skill.
 
I mentioned this before in other threads but it must have been missed as they are still in the September update documents

Core rule Book: PDF bookmark for Chapter 7 is Starcraft Operations.
The chapter title is Spacecraft Operations.
They don't match. They should.

High And Dry: PDF bookmarks for chapters six, seven and eight all have "Salbar II". They should read "Salbarii".

Well, I did catch it and passed it on. But sometimes not everything gets updated at once.

It should be "When firing at a target that can be seen, these...

I didn't see this above, and hopefully it's not a repeat, but:
The commission throws in Army and Marine are listed as SOC+8 instead of SOC 8+.
Navy has it listed correctly.
