I was talking about the one for Arsenal.

Arsenal was just released less than a week ago. What would make you believe there was already an Errata in existence?

A slight misunderstanding - when Nerbert mentioned the '1.5 Errata' and how the table in the back of Arsenal reflected this, BookWyrm thought he meant 1.5 errata for Arsenal instead of for the BBB that Nerbert was actually referring to.

Strangely enough we do already have an errata doc in development have had since the day after the book went to press...

No doubt, but in development is a different thing to being publically available. In fact, if it were already available, I would doubt its usefulness, as mistakes are still being found and clarifications are still being sought for new things. It's too early for an official Errata at this stage. :)

From what I've heard, the error that started the errata on the first day after release was in the credits section. I, for one, find that to be nugatory.

Well, I know that professor who takes any graduation work (of 80+ pages), flips it open, and expects to find an error. After I did fail him on that expectation (he retried three times), he promised that he would have to read much closer now. So starting to collect info for an errata on the first day might just be the smart option.

QUOTE (Nerbert)
According to the 1.5 Errata, Flechette ammunition has +2DV +5AP, which is reflected in the back of Arsenal. How ever, all of the weapons that use flechette ammunition by default are listed as +2DV +2AP which is what the original SR4 was printed with.

Is this an oversight, or is there some subtlety to the rules that I'm not aware of?

I'm interested in getting an more or less official answer to this issue, please... :spin:

thx,

Tycho

I can pretty much guarantee that it was an oversight, and not the result of some special rule that supplants the Errata.

A radar sensor package is given, but I can't find any actual range for the radar to tell me how far it can perceive. The ultrawideband is okay as it's stated that it's the same as the system in Augmentation (assuming you have both books which I do), but the normal radar is presumably different?

Are we talking air traffic control here, or something in the hundreds of metres?

Thanks,

-K.

There is a sensor signal rating given dependant on package size. That would be the range for all sensors.

Not sure if it's a typo or not but the Hawker-Ridley HS-950 Skytrain, was that meant to be Hawker-Siddeley HS-950 Skytrain or the introduction of a new corp? Just seemed awfully similar to me if it is. *Shrug*

Ah, thank you. I don't think I was being an idiot in not realising that - maybe something for the FAQ.

Cheers,

Sure you can, and since most of the weapons have a negative capacity, you will actually end up with more room the more weapons you add.

Go ahead and fill up your cyberhand with a Nodachi, or maybe two, and you will suddenly find that it now also has space for the Heavy Cyber Pistol.

In your dreams...

I noticed that on p. 102 directly under VEHICLE AND DRONE RULES that a future tense was used to reference Unwired:

QUOTE ("Arsenal p. 102")
Rules governing advanced rigging will be covered in Unwired.


It isn't a problem now, but once Unwired is out, this sentence will seem odd. Might be worth changing "will be" to "is" in future printings.


----

QUOTE ("Arseonal p. 134 @ Cyborg Adaption")
A cranial containment unit (CCU) is a necessary component for full-body cyborgs (see Cyborgs, p. 158, Augmentation) -- it is the "box" that the jarhead's brain.


I'm thinking a few words got chopped off of that sentence at some point.....

You mean "are".

QUOTE (Pg. 148)

If an off -the-rack weapon comes with certain upgrades
like smartgun, gas-vent system, etc., it is assumed that those
upgrades are modifications instead of accessories. However,
those modifications do not count toward the slot limit and the
weapons themselves still count as unmodified.


Yes, all of them.
