From the boss, both reprints are updated with errata.

Makes it a little annoying that I went all out for the CE in the first place…

I’m largely gaming from the PDF due to the errors :frowning:

  • Page 334: “Defence” should be “Defense” as the default has been stated to be American English

Command Division

  • Page 37: Operation Command: ‘’…An unusual type of command as few admirals have the Starfleet-renowned specific expertise desirable this role…’’ - it should be ‘’…desirable for this role…’’.
  • Page 39: Fleet Liaison Officer: ‘’…For example, a Klingon Defence Force has the trait…’’ - it should be ‘’…, a Klingon Defence Force officer …’’.

  • Page 49 and 50: Requirements not visible as text is white (PF)
  • Page 49: Attack Run talent does not do anything as Attack Pattern Task does not affect enemy attacks
  • Page 50: Spacewalk Talent. Due to the line break the talent read “… thanks to low-or zero gravity” Should read “… thanks to low or zero gravity” (or possibly “…lower or zero gravity”).
  • Page 56: Oberth Class: Overview: ‘’…is home to the approximately 100 crew that served on this ship…’’ - it should be ‘’…that serve…’’.
  • Page 67: Additional Talents Table: all talents lack Requirements.
  • Page 69: Work Bee: ‘‘TALENT: None’’ - it should be removed (see other entries).
  • Page 70: Type-7 Shuttle: Power 4 is wrong - it should be 3 because we divide by 2 and round up (Engines 6 divided by 2 = 3 , no rounding up here).
  • Page 70: Type-8 Shuttle: Power 3 is wrong - it should be 4 (because of Engine 7 divided by 2 and rounded up is 4).
  • Page 71: Type-9 Shuttle: Capabilities: ‘’…to use against Dominion, Klingon, or Romulan cloaking devices.’’ - Dominion ships with a cloaking device?

Beta Quadrant

  • Page 2: Hangar misspelled as Hanger

  • Page 82: Industrious Mind. “…GM’s permission.” Inconsistent use of GM instead of “Gamemaster”
  • Page 83: Xindi Arboreal: ‘’…Xindi are a contrast some of their cousins on Xindus in that…’’. This doesn’t seem to make grammatical sense. Either ‘’…Xindi are a contrast to some…’’ or “Xindi contrast some of their cousins”
  • Page 88 to 100: All starships have ‘‘SPECIAL’’ in their stats instead of ‘‘SPECIAL RULES’’. All text below ‘‘Special’’ is in orange font instead of the default. Entries that are ‘‘Talents’’ should have added ‘’(Talent)’’ at the end. This is in line with the Core Rulebook
  • Page 89: Ablative Armour sidebar: with the changes to Raptor’s Resistance it is no longer valid and should be removed.
  • Page 89: K’tinga: Power 8 is wrong - it should be 9 because of Engines 9. Special: ‘‘Cloaking Devices’’ - it should be ‘‘Device’’.

  • Page 99: Transports: Power 7 is wrong - it should be 8 because of Engines 8.
  • Page 109: Orion Slaver: Stress 9 is wrong - it should be 10 because Fitness 8 + Security 2 = 10.
  • Page 111: Orion Executive Officer: Dagger damage 1 is wrong - it should be 3 because basic dagger’s damage of 1 + Security 2 = 3.

  • Page 117: Brilliant Theoretician – “… he may spend 3 Threat or Threat…” Duplicate use of Threat

Adventures

Quick Start

  • Page 28: Executive Officer – “you may spend 3 Momentum immediately to let that character regain their point of spent Momentum.” Should be “…point of spent Determination.”

  • Page 20: FIRST OFFICER CAITLIN MALLORY (ACTING CAPTAIN) [MAJOR]: Phase Pistol should not have a ‘‘Deadly’’ Quality.
  • Page 20:“Exploit: When using the Exploit Task, Mallory may re- roll any number of d20s.” Exploit task does not exist in STA.
  • Page 34: USS NIGHTINGALE [FEDERATION]: Engineering Discipline of 4 is wrong - it should be 3 (SCIENTIFIC AND SURVEY OPERATIONS Mission Profile 2 + Engineering Discipline 1 of Nova Class = 3). Also ‘‘SPECIAL RULES: Advanced Senso Suites (Talent)’’ - it should be ‘’…Advanced Sensor Suites (Talent)’’.

  • Page 50: “gleamed from the Romulans.” should be “gleaned”

  • Page 65: SUBCOMMANDER TALERIA [NOTABLE]: STRESS: 13 is wrong - it should be 11 (Fitness 7+ Security 4 = 11).
  • Page 67: COMMANDER MERROK [MAJOR]: Attacks: Knife lacks ‘‘Deadly’’ Quality. Also ‘‘Disruptor Pistol (Ranged, 37 ,…’’ - it should be ‘‘Disruptor Pistol (Ranged, 7 …’’.
  • Page 80: MAINTENANCE ROBOT [MINOR]: I think his Security Discipline of 4 should be added to its Tool’s Challenge Dice of 3.

  • Page 110: CAPTAIN TULANA VULKO [MAJOR]: Attacks: Knife lacks ‘‘Deadly’’ Quality.
  • Page 111: SCIENCE OFFICER T’VRIL [NOTABLE]: Attacks: ‘‘Phaser type-1 (Ranged, 2 …’’ - it should be ‘‘3’’.

  • Page 154: FOLLOWER [MINOR]: Phaser Type-2 should not have ‘‘Hidden 1’’ Quality.

Call Back Yesterday

  • Page 9: Romulan Science Vessel Power is listed as ?, should be 7

Ends and Means

  • Page 6: Senator Phregs - Command is 6, but max is 5

A Star Beyond the Stars (Starter Campaign)

  • Page 17 - “Tell the Players that climbing down the turboshaft requires a Task. Ask them to attempt a Control + Fitness Task, with a Difficulty of 1.” This should be an Attribute + Discipline

Character Writeups

TNG Characters

  • Riker’s Anbo-Jytsu should be spelled Anbo-Jyutsu

DS9 Characters

  • Page 7: Personal Effects “The character may select one item with an Opportunity Cost of 2, or two items with an Opportunity Cost of 1 each.” A Mek’leth is Opportunity 1, meaning Worf can select another item. (probably his Bat’leth that he never uses in the show!)
  • Page 9: In the Nick Of Time: should be “…Engineering or Science Task…”
  • Page 10: Bashir’s Augment ability refers to reasons, not Reason
  • Page 11: Odo’s resistance is listed as 0, however Morphogenic Matrix grants Resistance 4
  • Page 13: Quark’s Barkeep Talent is in bold which is inconsistent to other Talents
  • Page 14: Ferengi Species “noted more as merchants than traders than as warriors, scientists, or engineers” presumably should be “merchants and traders”

Science Division, page 98: The titles of the random tables for Exotic-Based Life and Non-Corporeal Life are reversed.

Nice catch

47

Rather hilariously, from the example on page 102:

Sam wants to create a unique alien species for his next mission, and he wants it to feel really alien in origin, so for Step One he doesn’t roll randomly, but picks Exotic-based. For Step Two, he rolls randomly on the Non-corporeal Life Random Table

So Sam noticed the mistake too. He just didn’t tell the editors.

Starter Campaign - Pg 17: “Tell the Players that climbing down the turboshaft requires a Task. Ask them to attempt a Control + Fitness Task, with a Difficulty of 1.”
Control and Fitness are both Attributes, shouldn’t this be a standard Attribute + Discipline, maybe Fitness and Conn? I couldn’t find anything in the Quickstart rules or the Core rulebook that allowed for two Attributes to be used for setting a target.

49

I’d go with Fitness/Daring + Security/Command for that roll.

50

Climbing is 100% a Conn task. It’s all about path finding etc

51

Core rulebook page 99:

A character might use Security with…Fitness, to restrain an unwilling prisoner, or to climb or swim in difficult circumstances.

It is deliberate that there are multiple ways that you could resolve the same thing, so while Fitness + Security works for climbing, don’t assume that it’s the only way to resolve that task.

Call Back Yesterday: the ship listed has a ? for Power.

54

Although it’s not about ST:A proper but its starter set there it is: on a “Star beyond the stars”, page 17, Scene One the fourth paragraph reads “Tell the Players that climbing down the turboshaft requires a Task. Ask them to attempt a Control + Fitness Tasks, with a Difficulty of 1”

I suppose it’s a mistake Control + Fitness are two Attributes and one Attribute should be added to one Discipline. Should we read Fitness + Security instead?

An argument can also be made for Engineering it is really dependent on how the Players want to approach the problem.

@ob1knorrb Good Catch. Added

@TonyPi Good Catch. Added

@Jps This has been added. It was discussed a few posts above. Fitness + Security is a logical choice, and is suitable for an introduction, but they should not necessarily be the final option. It depends on the Player’s approach.

56

Thanks. Like if the Players are careful use Control, if in a hurry use Daring.

57

page 173 core rulebook, under Ready:

“to resolve the reading Task” should be “readying Task”.

58

I assume you meant “readied Task”

Good catch though.

59

Alpha Quadrant Pg 73 - The Cool Under Pressure talent refers to a Composure Task. This task does not exist in STA

60

Alpha Quadrant Pg 85 - Phaser Arrays. “Optional; if installed, reduce Engines and Shields by 1, Increase Weapons by 1”. Should be “… Engines and Power by 1” (OR “Engines, Power and Shields” but that is inconsistent with established rules)

Alpha Quadrant Pg 77 - Multi-Tasking Talent. This talent is named identically to the Multi-Tasking Talent in Command Pg 50 but has a different effect. This Talent should be renamed to avoid confusion.

61

Operations Division, page 73, new attack tasks: Non-lethal attack
the name doesn’t match the mechanics, as it doesn’t remove deadly nor make the attack non-lethal, but instead ignores vicious, and not all lethal attacks are vicious.
Ignoring the deadly is already covered in the core: +1 difficulty.
I would recommend renaming this for later versions to “Less injurious,” “Flat of the blade,” or even just “flat attack”…

Alpha Quadrant, p. 77

TRAIT: Endosian.

should be Edosian.
