Traders and Gunboats: errata

[CordwainerFish]

Back cover: "throughout the universes Traveller" is likely not the intended wording.
Table of contents: "Hiver" is not indefensible, but was "Hivers" intended?

 

[chibiko]

The description of the Ewa-class Freighter on p.18 suggests it can be seen "playing the mains" rather than "plying the mains".

 

[Geir]

p. 10, if the Hoeywea is TL10, it's M-drive should be limited to 3, not 6.

(the Ifteaa on p. 8 seems to have odd choices in its design - like the light hull and armoured bulkhead combination - but those are not errors, just questionable combinations - seem more like intentionally wasted space to justify the 35 tons while keeping cost low - designed by a schizophrenic accountant who clearly won't be riding in it.)

 

[Geir]

(yeah, piecemeal. But I'll probably be reading in starts and stops - fits?)

p. 16: Seaho' should require 2 engineers. (And what is it with all these Aslan ships with sandcasters? Doesn't seem very Aslan. Better to go with a cheaper double turret and cut out the sandcaster storage. The ship is short on staterooms as it is...)

 

[Condottiere]

Odd combinations, assuming they aren't negligent or accidental, might indicate some specific goal, or design requirement.

 

[Geir]

p. 22: Yearkhar: Should have Jump/3 software. If a military ship, it should have 3 pilots. Half an engineer short, and unless those marines are doubling as gunners, nowhere near enough accommodations.

p. 24 Eiaikeiar: Armouries should be x24. Low berths need 19 power.

 

[CordwainerFish]

Half an engineer short

 

[Terry Mixon]

The new weapons rules changed things so that the laser barbette stats conflict with laser barbette stats in HG Update 2022. Was that intentional? Also, you added the burst lasers but no entry for them in the bays and barbette charts you also included.

 

[Technetium 98]

None of these ships have Total Cost sections. Is that deliberate?

High Guard Additions

• Page 4
  • Beam and Pulse barbettes conflict with High Guard's stats for the same weapons. All errata will assume High Guard to be correct. Also, how do the Auto mechanics interact with power? Does a Burst Laser on full auto use 4, 12, or 36 power?
