Main book Errata to be aware of ?

[weasel fierce]

The gods of ebay was kind, and Im an owner of a somewhat bent, but otherwise excellent condition box set, with the player and referee books, and a "imperial encyclopedia" book that Im not sure was a part of the main set or not. Even a mint condition Spinward marches map

What main errata were there for those 3 books ? Can these be located somewhere ?

Were they game changing things or trivial ?

Look at Dons superb MT errata:
http://winterwar.prairienet.org/dmckinne/ConsolidatedMegaTravellerErrata.pdf

Honestly I played MT without errata for years, IMHO the core components were ok and when I discovered stuff obviously wrong I simply changed it.

Anyway Dons errata simplifies everything...

But I would not say, that the basic games changes by its use, as the errata focusses on some rule aspects, but not on the rules themself.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm really trying to limit "additions" (marked addenda in the errata doc) to things that match the feel and original intent of the authors. What I find is to put a piece of addenda in the context of the book, save the file somewhere and come back to it a week or two later and see if it still reads like the original.

If it doesn't, I delete it.

Although some things are so boneheaded (Stellar Generation) that some changes are needed. And some items (fusion rockets) were argued over when the products were released -- and no concensus was ever found

But the interesting thing is that for all the errata, the game is VERY playable without it.
