Specifically the Increasing Visual Range formulae and examples of the Electronics section.
Checked all the errata and did a search of the boards with no reference found so...
Page 252 (and 249) - The notes on p252 for Increasing Lighting need to be moved to the Visual Systems section or Light(ing) in the Vehicle Visual Systems table p249 needs to be moved to the Secondary Sensor System table p251. The correct (derived from the errata examples in the Standard Designs pdf) formulae for Increasing Lighting seems to need the "by 0.02vl" changed to "by 0.2vl" and the "double the power requirement" changed to "add 0.01EP to the power requirement". The corrected values for the example would be "add Cr45 to the cost, increase the size by +1.8vl, and increase the power requirements by +0.09EP. The upgraded light would thus cost Cr50, have a volume of 2.0vl, and require 0.1EP of power."
Page 249 - Increasing Visual Range section. I can't make it jive with any of the examples, including the errata corrected Battle Dress which seems to need to be corrected itself. As best as I can figure, your definition of "double" as explained in the Commo and Sensor sections (which are correct) needs to be added here for clarity as follows. Under the Increasing Visual Range change by adding the part in brackets "...range, double the cost (x2 per 100m added, eg. adding 300m is x2 + x2 + x2 = x6), increase... ". And the example needs to be corrected here, "... would multiply the cost by x20..." and here,"... increase the power requirements by +0.1EP. The upgraded unit would thus cost Cr12,000... ".
Right or wrong? I kinda need to know.
