Strategic Operations - 6 August 2020 (v3.02)

[Xotl]

Final version of the errata heading up to the main website.  It's been updated further, so replace any older versions.

[Xotl]

I had to rush out the last SO errata update due to not having any time to handle errata.  As such, it only had the most recent rulings, losing all the old stuff.  Now that my life has calmed down, I've upped a new version that combines all the older errata with the latest stuff.  I don't believe there's anything new, but the third printing of SO has been in progress for literally years and I may have lost track.

I've also updated the BattleForce errata document.  It only has one all-new entry (regarding the PNT ability), but has numerous example updates and has been reformatted for a cleaner look.

Lastly, I've updated the revised refitting document.  No rules changes: just another example, plus more notes to make it easier to understand how it's supposed to work.


EDIT:
BattleForce doc updated 7 August.
Refitting doc updated 1 September.

Version: PDF, 2011 printing (according to page 7)

Location: Page 86, "Proximity Point Distance Table" & "Distance to Zenith/Nadir Jump Point Table" box
Type: Formatting (in)consistency
Error/Issue:
p86 the note "All distances given are in billions of kilometers" is at the very bottom of the Table box, under the "Distance to Zenith/Nadir Jump Point Table"

Correction: Move the note about "All distances given are in billions of kilometers" to just under the "Proximity Point Distance Table" label, so it is similar to the note for the  "Distance to Zenith/Nadir Jump Point Table" and the "Jump Sail Recharging Table" being between title of the table and the table itself.  This way all three tables follow this format:
Table Name
Explanation about the numbers in the table
Table Headers and Data


Location: Page 87, "Jump Sail Recharging Table"
Type: Formatting (in)consistency
Error/Issue:
p86 for the "Proximity Point Distance Table" and the "Distance to Zenith/Nadir Jump Point Table" has the stars listed with type 'B' at the top of the table, and type 'M' at the bottom of the table.
p87 "Jump Sail Recharging Table" has star type 'M' listed at the top of the table and star type 'B' listed at the bottom.

Correction: Re-order the "Jump Sail Recharging Table" star order to be consistent with the two tables immediately above it

A quick update to the refitting document has been made on the website to take into account engine-mounted heat sinks.

Location: Page 88, "Charging the Drive (Outside of Game Play)
Type: Missing info
Error/Issue: Per the question and answer...
https://bg.battletech.com/forums/strategic-operations/charging-k-f-drive-while-burning-to-jump-point/
...it isn't clear if KF drive vessels' drives can be used for propulsion while also charging.

The applicable paragraph is on p. 88:

Each power plant-based charging attempt of the drive requires
10 burn-days of fuel (in addition to any fuel required for station
keeping). At the end of the charging period (irrespective of success
or failure) the controlling player makes another Control Roll
applying a modifi er as for the charging attempt (applying a +0
modifi er for charging periods of 175 hours). For each point of MoS,
reduce this fuel requirement by 0.5 burn-days (to a minimum of
4 burn days of fuel). For each point of MoF, increase the fuel consumed
by 0.5 burn-days (with no upper limit).

Recommended Fix:

Each power plant-based charging attempt of the drive requires
10 burn-days of fuel (in addition to any fuel required for station
keeping, thrust points, or strategic movement). At the end of the charging period (irrespective of success or failure) the controlling player makes another Control Roll
applying a modifi er as for the charging attempt (applying a +0
modifi er for charging periods of 175 hours). For each point of MoS,
reduce this fuel requirement by 0.5 burn-days (to a minimum of
4 burn days of fuel). For each point of MoF, increase the fuel consumed
by 0.5 burn-days (with no upper limit).
