Last Errata I saw (v07.1 and 0.8) says use the master Staging Chart on page 500. Just to keep everyone up to date, even if my crappy iPad can't use these cool Apps, I do want to see them squared away, some day I might have equipment that can run them and then I am going to want them rules correct. :devil:on gun maker - you use of ultimate stage grants a +4 to damage but the charts (and not superseded by the errata) on page 253 list the stat changes granted by ultimate stage as
tl +4 mass x0.7 qreBs -2 R=+2 D=2 C x1.4
you also have obsolete listed as a potential stage modifier but the gunmaker does not have this stage (as of yet not superseded by errata)
this may be an artifact that is most makers the changes and stages have both obsolete and ultimate (which is not in armor!maker as per pg272)
Ultimate is most cases of the book is +4 (or -4 to qreBs) in most stat changes which is why I suspect that your system didn't catch it.
otoh - it is hard to argue that Ultimate is better than advanced or modified for weapons maker in most cases if the stage is left as it is written in the book other than the R+2. (which I do admit might make it worth it anyway)

That is what it says on page 1 of the v 0.71 for "pg. 53, Value, Typical Cost Modifiers (Correction): As this table maps to the Tech Level Stage Effects table, the values should match those on page 500.", on page 7 we have "p. 247 Weapon Stage, Sniper and Target Descriptors (correction): The Sniper and Target descriptors should apply both Q=+2 and E=+2."hmmm drops the R+2 and drops obsolete if using that chart... still issues with the maker then (obsolete would not be an option)...
pg 500 ultimate mod +4 does it work for D? how about R? what does the mod only apply to? Unfortunately pg 500 is even more of a mess.... I like the stage effect of extra range for ultimate but if it is erratad out it's out...
