SRM: STARFLEET Errata

[Steve Long]

OK, folx, as you find any typos or other possible errors in SRM: STARFLEET, please post 'em here.

I'll start you off with two:

1. Under the Akira "Noteworthy Ships" entry, the Prometheus was rescued in 2374, not 2375.

2. The Chimera class was commissioned in 2374, not 2366. (I caught this one, but sadly, mere hours too late for Don to correct it in the manuscript.)

Just picked up one:

Page 38 of the PDF, description of the Curry class - should probably read "...most of its phaser-fire suffers from significant arc shadows."

Why do banks charge you an "insufficient funds" fee on money they already know you don't have?

[Don Mappin]

The cover rendering is messed up. I was a little tired and missed that until it was too late. I'll likely correct the cover and make it available as a seperate download in a few days.

I am uncertain if these are errors or typos, however, for the Miranda, page 77, should not the Forward Dorsal Starboard and Port Torpedo Launchers actually be Forward Engineering Pod Starboard and Port. I thought the Engineering pod had 2 tubes forward and 2 aft?

There is no Engineering Ventral Port Phaser Array?

Here's a couple:

- Is the Prometheus autopilot wrong? It has a Coord of 4, but the rules give a max of 3 for SF ships.

- I make the Sovereign's standard usable power 827, not 777.

Steve, regarding the Chimera class. 2374 doesn't make sense as the USS Portland was in service back in 2371.

Speaking of the Portland, why isn't she mentioned in the Chimera write up and why are all the Chimera registries so different to her NCC-57418?

[Steve Long]

Hmmm... that is true. I wasn't aware of the Portland. I will have to make some revisions somewhere along the line.

As for the registry number -- I have no idea. I can think of a couple of possibilities, though. One, it was initially commissioned as some other class and then converted to the Chimera due to a lack of parts or resources or something, but kept its original registration. Two, it was converted into a Chimera from some other class after suffering extensive damage, and kept its original registration.

Steve I don't know if these are errors or changes that have been made since Spacedock came out, so here goes...
1-Merced class crew size-in PoF its 50/150/400, with the SRM#1 its 55/67/1200..which one should we use.
2-Norway class PoF classified as a cruiser in SRM#1 you have it as a fast frigate?
3-Whatever happened to the Miranda class's SX-3 pulse phaser cannon?
4-New Orleans class size PoF-425 m (size 7) in the SRM#1 its 360 m long (size 6) also differeing crew sizes and commissioning dates?
There are a few other things but are pretty minor. Again thank you for such a great product

Any differences you see between ships written up in The Price of Freedom and the SRM1 are likely the result of one (or both) of two things:

1. Differences in opinion between myself and Christian as to the capabilities of various starships.
2. The fact that I have access to a lot more sources of information than Christian did when he wrote up the TPOF ships.

So, I, at least, don't think of those differences as "error" -- I would use the term "corrections and amendations."
