p.28, Firebird stat-block
Engine mass is listed at 14.5 tons, but the engine is listed a 165 primitive, which should only mass 6 tons!
(Editor's note: it looks like the ship's thrust was initially calculated at 7/11 - meaning a 225 standard engine upsized to a 270 primitive, which masses 14.5t - but the engine-mass was never changed when the thrust was dropped to 5/8.)
Suggested fix:
To keep the listed armament, armour, and 5/8 speed, drop the Firebird's overall mass to 35 tons and the engine to a 130 Primitive (mass 4.5t).
(Type overall mass now 35t. Engine rating = mass (35t) * base thrust. Base thrust = 5 - 2 (ASF free thrust points) = 3; 3 * 35 (tonnage) = 105; 105 * 1.2 (primitive modifier) = 126, rounded up to nearest 5 = 130.)
Full reconstruction of the Firebird stat-block is available if TPTBs desire. ;)
I was about to report this same errata, when I noticed you already reported it. However, I'm going to make a simpler recommendation:
Suggested Fix:Page 27, second columnChange "Rawlings 165-F" to "Rawlings 270-F"
Page 28, Firebird stat blockChange "Battle Value:" value from "403" to "521" (what MML 49.1 calculates it as)
Change "Engine" value from "165 Primitive" to "270 Primitive"
Change "Safe Thrust:" value from "5" to "7"
Change "Maximum Thrust:" value from "8" to "11"
Change "Structural Integrity:" value from "5" to "7"
That results in only changing the fighter's thrust and SI, and keeps the actual design otherwise identical in terms of mass, and thus doesn't require completely rebuilding the stat block.
