This thread is for reporting and tracking typos to Steve - so he's not innundated with emails about the same typos over and over. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Page 184, 2nd paragraph (top right of page, second column): 'In 2371, the the prototype defiant'
Thanx for catching that, Anomaly!
If any of the rest of you find typos or the like, sing out! I'm pretty sure that the playtesters caught most, if not all, of the ones in the first draft, but I added a lot of material 'tween then and now. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Defiant's starboard pulse phaser should be power 25 not 20.
Galaxy's class Beta computer upgrade should cost 4 SU not 12 SU. The rule says you buy it once per ship, not once per core.
The pulse phaser rules are a bit garbled: page 67 suggests that you can't fire in continuous & wide-beam modes, whilst page 70 says you can't fire in continuous & pulse modes.
Oh, and you spelled "Capability" wrong in the Planetfall Capability description, last sentence of the first paragraph.
Picky, picky, picky. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/biggrin.gif
And don't get me started on "meters" instead of "metres", there's probably also a "color" in there as well. D*mned colonials. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/tongue.gif
This one, at least, I dealt with in another thread. The text (and the Defiant writeup) are wrong -- you should pay for the upgrade once for each core.Quote:

Typo? I think there's a big one right on the cover:
The Advanced Starship and Construction Manual
I thought that ut was supposed to be that way - strange as it may look - but after seeing the press release at Gaming Outpost, I realized it should read:
The Advanced Starshop Combat and Construction Manual.

I'm assuming you meant "Starship" and not "Starshop", right Fred?

Err... I... err... I was just being clever... Yes, that's it. Clever! I made a joke by inserting a typo in a Typo thread. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif
Yeah, right, http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

I knew someone would catch that cover boo-boo eventually. I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow between my computer and Don's computer, the title got garbled. Rest assured it shall be changed. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

I'll repost this here for completness:
While on the subject of escape pods, under the description it says escape pods support 86 people, but I am sure that while I was skimming though it somewhere that they fit only 6. Which is correct?
Also, and I know you may know this already, but the contents page is wrong. As an example, the aforementioned escaped pod is listed as page 32 but is actually on pg 37.

Actually, the table of contents is not incorrect. The pdf is numbered pages 1 through 198. The pages themselves are numbered differently for when it's printed out. Thus, the front cover, introduction and Table of Contents are considered pages "I" through "V" and then the numbering begins with page 1 on the actual meat of the manuscript. Just like a hardcopy book.Quote:

Now for what may be a possible typo, I was wondering about the Andoria-class Explorer. The text says it's one of the newest explorers, but then says it was commissioned in 2361, at least two years earlier than the Enterprise-D, the third ship in the Galaxy-class. Is this correct or should it read "It was launched in 2371"?

McCoy: "You're taking me to the promised land?"
Kirk: "That's what you get for missing staff meetings, Doctor."
You're misreading. A standard escape pod has life support for a total of 86 person-days. That means it can support one person for 86 days, two for 43, four for 21.5, and so on. It most defintely doesn't mean that 86 people can fit inside! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif The standard ASRV fits four comfortably; larger models fit 8 or 10 or 12.Quote:

The use of the word "newest" is just conversational folderol on my part, and should probably be removed. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gifQuote:

I found a little mistake. On page 20, the example first uses USS Jemm,asha, then later refers to Indomitable.
Hello everybody !
First of all, congratulations on the excelent work !
I have a doubt... in the Galaxy-class template, the saucer separation system is listed as costing 10 SU's. But in chapter one we find it costing SIZEx1 SU's, wich would bring the price to 8 SU's.
Did I miss something ?
Cheers,

No matter where you go, there you are.
On page 71 under Microtorpedo Launcher it states the damage of the microtorpedo as doing 50 points of damage when I believe it should be 5. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
That's not a typo, Gary. They do 50 damage. I changed the damage of weapons by a factor of 10 (20 to 200, 5 to 50, and so on) for SPACEDOCK to create greater granularity.
Steve Long
Sorry about that. I had just gotten of work and was tired and forgot that in the advanced rules I half to multiply by 10. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/redface.gif
On page 53, you mention the "Inertial Damping Field", it should be "Inertial Dampening Field"
Sorry, Quintaris, but you're wrong. Steve has it right.
To damp something means to reduce the amplitude, to deaden or check. To dampen something is to get it wet. A damper is a mechanism which controls, mutes or checks. An interial damper reduces inertial effects.
Don't feel bad, though - you're not alone in this misconception. This is one word that most Trek fans really need to look up in a dictionary.
*grabs the TNG Tech Manual* Well I'll be damned. I've always thought that's what the IDF stood for. And you are correct, there's a far amount of people who make that mistake as well (I know several I'll have to correct now).
I humbly stand corrected! As Steve Long pointed out in another thread in this forum, there is a pricing guideline in the sidebar on page 18. How did I miss that! Cripes!Quote:

This is a minor nitpick, but the stardate on the first page of Chapter One is 52372.4 (2375). But the text indicates that the report is from after the end of the Dominion War. The Dominion War did not end until later in 2375 then the stardate given... I guess all you need to do to fix it is make the first 2 to a 3, 53372.4 (2376).
Although, knowing Trekkies/Trekkers, someone has probably already reported this to you. Just thought I'd put it on the BBS.
Can't have altitude without attitude?
In every instance, even fan templates, altitude is replaced with attitude.
ie Altitude Control
A delibrate ploy to start a war? http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif

SIR SIG a Aussie TREK Narrator
no, a ship's attitude is angle at which it is banking, tipping, turning, or tilting. listing, leaning, (shall I go on with this?)
besides, there is no such thing as altitude in space.
