TE: the x10 hits matters a lot or not at all depending upon the ref.
If you avoid vehicles in combat, and use the HG version in MTRM, it will make about 0 difference in your games.
If you're letting PC's shoot at vehicles, or like I do, using a mayday hybrid with the vehicle rules, it makes a HUGE difference.
Case in point: A trepida can be taken out by spall from a high-pen small arms round hitting the unmultiplied PP, which is (IIRC) 1/2 hits... it winds up being 9/18 or so with it, if you apply the times 10 before rounding. At which point, the spall is NOT going to do much at all.

Let's see if I can perevohd b poangliski...
If you don't have players shooting at anything but people and starships, the x10 hits erratum to the Ref's manual is meaningless.
If you don't use it, a lucky hit with a small-arms weapon can take out a Trepida Gravitic Main Battle Tank.
If you do use the x10 from what's listed in Ref's Manual, you have to have pretty big guns to do that damage to the tank.
Y'see, all the vehicle sections have separate hits entries; by using the x10 before rounding off, instead of the PP of a trepida having 1toKO and 2moreToDestroy (1/2), it gets 9toKO and 18moreToDestroy... so the 0-3 point minimum for rolling well can't take out the trepida in one lucky shot to the powerplant.
No Powerplant, and the trepida is no longer a turret in the sky, but a piece of deadfall ordinance.
