(Answered) Free Space calculation for Omnifighters
« on: 10 January 2018, 11:58:39 »
I think I've noticed an error in Technical Readout 3067(2012 print edition), but since it has to do with rules I'm not entirely sure about, I'm asking for a confirmation before I post an errata report.

The problem is that all IS OmniFighters in the TRO 3067 list only 3 free space slots in the Aft section (on pp. 138, 141, 144, 150, 152, 154, 156), but the way I read TechManual (in particular "Space" section on p. 183 and the table on p. 192) all of those fighters should have 5 free slots there, since they all use standard or ferro-aluminum armor (which does not take any slots in the aft section), and as far as I can tell don't seem to mount any fixed equipment, that would take up slots in the aft section.

So am I missing something, or is the TRO 3067 wrong?

If it helps I've also checked my other TROs an I've found the following:
- TROs 3055U (2005 FanPro print edition), 3075 (2008 Second Printing, Corrected - print edition), and 3085 (2010 Corrected Second Printing - print edition), and all OmniFighters in those books have 5 free slots listed in the Aft section.
- There are OmniFighters in TROs 3145 (2013 print edition), and 3150 (2015 print edition), but for some reason they don't list Free Space in their stat blocks. Is this an intentional change, or accidental omission?

Yeah, looks like an error.  Please copy this over as an errata report in the TR 3067 thread if you would.  Thanks.

Thanks. Copied to errata thread months ago, so all I needed to do now, was to edit that report to indicate it has been confirmed here.
