CT Errata Compendium

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but in Book 2, the TOC says page 25 is called Starship Combat, but page 26 says Space Combat. Which one is right?

 

[Spinward Flow]

Space Combat is "more generic" ... and includes the possibilities of combat in space between craft that do not have jump drives (small craft/non-starships).

 

[plazman30]

So, do we have something new for the errata? My Book 2 recreation currently uses Space Combat because the TOC is auto-generated.

 

[RossWinn]

I'm moving the second case to the "status uncertain" category. Ultimately it depends on the intent of the author.

My inner grammar nazi wants to buy you a coffee and a red pen.

Woo, nice catch! Added to the list. The Facsimile Edition combined TOC (page 5 of the PDF) also says "Starship Combat", presumably copied from the book 2 TOC.

This is holding up my book recreations.

I'm putting all the errata inline, at least all the errata that's in the back of the facsimile edition. I guess all that errata is "official," since it's an edition Marc Miller was selling.

This seems like newfound errata:
Recent LBB2 close-reading has me puzzled over the “Double Fire” computer program. Page 12 has:

Each time double fire is used, a throw must be made to determine if overload has occurred: For the first phase of such fire, throw 1+ to survive overload; for the second phase, throw 2+ to survive, and so on. DM −1 for each turn in which lasers do not fire at all. If the throw is not achieved, a hit is received on the ship’s power plant.

This implies turns in which lasers “do not fire at all” make the throw more difficult (since DM’s are applied to the dice, not the required throw). I would think turns in which lasers don’t fire at all would make the chance of overload less likely, not more. I searched here and the Consolidated Errata, and didn’t come up with any discussion of this rule. Anyone have thoughts or in-play use of it?

It's clear to me that they mean the target number rather than the die roll. The more you use it, the more chance of getting the power plant hit, and each turn lets the lasers cooldown, until it's, eventually, bottomed out at 1+ again.

 

[Ildefonse]

I agree with that interpretation of intent, but it's not how it's written: it should be written as "DM +1" or "Lower the throw by 1" for each turn in which lasers don't fire at all.
