Interstellar Operations, First PDF release (non-beta), page 73, Remote sensors-Prototype, Game Rules, last sentence:

Quote
(During subsequent End Phases, a sensor will has become inoperative in this fashion will reactivate if its 1D6 roll yields 2 or higher.)

Change to: "(During subsequent End Phases, a sensor that has become inoperative in this fashion will reactivate if its 1D6 roll yields 2 or higher.)"
Be the Loremaster:

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

You bought the box set and are ready to expand your BT experience. Now what? (Thanks Sartis!)

Interstellar Operations, First printing.

Page 316, Combat Tactics Section.
First paragraph, second sentence reads,
"The three tactics are Offensive, Defensive and Standard.".

Should be,
"The three tactics are Aggressive, Defensive and Standard.".

Page 316, Combat Tactics Section.
Under Aggressive Tactics paragraph,
"If the roll fails, the Formation reduces any damage it receives by the same multiplier, and the damage it deals is reduced by –0.2"

Should be changed to match the example,
"If the roll fails, the Formation increases any damage it receives by the same multiplier, and the damage it deals is reduced by –0.2."

Page 316, Combat Tactics Section.
Under Aggressive Tactics paragraph, there is a missing period at the end of the paragraph.

Page 319, Moons Section.
"If an engagement occurs a zone with a Moon, the center zone of the engagement map is treated as being Moon and follows all the same rules for Combat Units in the SSRM Central Zone."

Should be,
"If an engagement occurs in a zone with a Moon, the center zone of the engagement map is treated as being the Moon and follows all the same rules for Combat Units in the SSRM Central Zone."

Page 354, Military Phase and Sequence of Events, there is no Supply sub-phase, therefore,
"Training and supply must be resolved before any Military Actions in that Phase."

Should be,
"Training must be resolved before any Military Actions in that Phase."

Page 357, Fortify Section
"A fortified Combat Command reduces the damage it takes by 10 percent for ground."

Should be,

"A fortified Combat Command reduces the damage it takes by 10 percent for ground units."

Page 363, Pacification and Integration Section

"The attacking force must stay on world at least one full Turn (or four ACS turns) to interrupt the pacification."

Should be...

"The attacking force must stay on world at least one full Turn (or eight ACS turns) to interrupt the pacification."

IO, first Printing.

page 75 under the "Clan Enhanced Imaging Neural Implant"

"The Clans' unique Enhanced Imagining (EI) neural implant"
should be
"The Clans' unique Enhanced Imaging (EI) neural implant"

Page 219
"Enhanced Imagining Interface"
should be
"Enhanced Imaging Interface"

Page 48 lists "Endo-Composite (BattleMech) Structure" and "Superheavy Endo Composite (BattleMech) Structure"

Change "Endo Composite" in the second one to "Endo-Composite" to match how its written in TacOps.

Also a standard need to be set for "Endo Steel" IO lists it as both "Endo Steel" and "Endo-Steel" depending on the section you're reading at the time.

pg 39-40, Universal Technology Table, under the Cockpit Systems section
Both the Combat Neurohelmet and Clan Neurohelmet seem to be missing from the table. Need to be added in.

p. 37
MechWarrior Cooling suit has a Prototype date of ~2680, and a production date of 2500. Star League was good, but not that good. Dates need to be fixed. TO lists 2500 as the date for the suit, so seems the best fix it to change the Prototype date to ~2480.

p. 36
MechWarrior Combat Suit has a prototype date of 2690, a production date of 2790, and a common date of 2520. Common date needs to be set to something after 2790.

First Printing PDF p130-131, Primitive JumpShip construction:

Step 4: Add Armor - Section is missing how many armor points you actually get, with the answer only found in the example and by comparing with the primitive DropShip construction.

Fix: Add second paragraph to end of Step 4: Add Armor section on p132:

All armor mounted on a Primitive JumpShip—including the “free” armor provided by the vessel’s SI value—must be multiplied by 0.66, rounding down to the nearest whole number.

Tandem Charge warheads has (FS) in its production (faction) column but no production date.
So, it needs a production date to go along with the (FS). Availability rating is XXEE so early/mid clan invasion maybe?

Problem:
The ProtoMech internal structure and armor table replicates the partially erroneous table from non-errata'd Tech Manual.

Correction:
Arms column should have values 1(2) for rows 3, 4 and 5 rather than 1(4)

p. 353, Creating Combat Commands.

Replace section with the following:

To create a new Combat Command, a player must first determine its composition. Each new Combat Command must have 1 ’Mech regiment (and can have no more than 1 ’Mech regiment), but beyond that, its additional attendant Units need not follow the standard for that Faction. The new Command’s exact composition and Weight dictates its cost. The cost is modified based on the Experience Rating (Green or Regular) of the Command and its Loyalty Rating (Questionable, Reliable or Fanatical). This cost is then doubled if the Command will have attendant JumpShips, which has an effect on the transportation cost for the unit (see Movement, p. 358). Once this total cost is subtracted from the Faction’s remaining Resource Points, the new unit can begin its existence on any world within your Faction except an ‘Other’ world. It is available for immediate use, such as combat and transportation.

Mercenary Combat Commands may not be created by the player Factions using these rules. The gamemaster may, at his own option, decide to create or introduce new mercenary Combat Commands if desired. These forces follow the basic ISW rules.

Joshua wants to raise a new unit on his Capital. He wants it to consist of a single medium ’Mech, two light Aerospace wings, one light Armor regiment, and one infantry regiment. The total cost for this is 54. While he would like this unit to have a higher Experience Rating, the highest quality permitted within the system is Regular, which would double the cost to 108 RP. Joshua considers it adequate for the new unit to have a Reliable Loyalty rating, which 1.5 modifier brings the total to 162 RP. Finally, he intends for this force to be very active, and invests in Attendant JumpShips, which brings the total cost for the new unit to 324 RP.

p. 353, NEW COMBAT COMMAND COST TABLE.

Replace Combat Formation section of the table with:

                                        Cost (RP) by Weight
Combat FormationLightMediumHeavyAssault
BattleMech Regiment*16243040
Aerospace Wing8121524

Two Issues, both from the same table entries:

1. IO pdf, pp. 36-37, "Universal Technology Advancement Table":
"MechWarrior Combat Suit", Production (Faction) = 2790
"MechWarrior Cooling Suit", Production (Faction) = 2500

Ref, TO p. 317, "Conventional Infantry Armor Table", says these are reversed. Which is correct?

2. Whichever was produced in 2500 ["MechWarrior Cooling Suit" is currently written, so I will use it as an example]:
"MechWarrior Cooling Suit", Prototype (Faction) = ~2680, Production (Faction) = 2500 [postdates the production date]

Suggested Change:
Prototype (Faction) = ~2480 [in order to predate the production date by 20 years]

p. 141, Under Shielded Aerospace Smart Robotic Control Systems.

"...As aerospace units, robotic units using a shielded aerospace SRCS are unaffected by ECM mounted on ground units. If the electronic warfare rules from Strategic Operations are in play (see pp. 110-113, SO), these robotic units receive the equivalent benefits of having a Guardian ECM suite, even if they do not actually possess such equipment. This, in turn, enables the shielded aerospace units to make use of the advanced ECM and ECCM rules found there."

There is no mention of SA-SRCS units being immune to interference, as per the original rules on p. 157 Historical: Liberation of Terra I.

Suggest including the sentence "...SA-SRCS equipped units do not suffer from interference like drones mounting ASRCS."

See the post linked below from the Ask the Writers forum.

Construction Rules:
Change second paragraph from this:

As with most such augmentations, infantry units and other multi-person crews require all of their members to be equipped with the same full-body implants to receive the benefits. Also, when constructing a conventional infantry unit equipped with dermal armor myomer implants, reduce the crew requirements for all support weapons by 1 (2, if the unit is also equipped with the triple-strength myomer implant), and eliminate the encumbering effects (if any) for such weapons. The minimum crew any infantry weapon may be reduced to is 1.

In addition, these platoons may carry up to 3 secondary weapons per squad (4 if the unit is also equipped with the triple-strength myomer implant). Platoons created under these conditions suffer no MP reduction, regardless of the number of secondary weapons carried.

p130-131, Step 4: Add Armor

Change first paragraph from this:

Primitive JumpShips use the rules and limits for standard JumpShips when computing their armor values (see p. 152, SO), but may not mount any of the advanced armor types such as improved ferro-aluminum, ferro-carbide, or lamellor ferro-carbide. This means that the maximum tonnage of armor a Primitive JumpShip may carry is equal to the ship’s SI tonnage, divided by 12 (rounded down to the nearest half ton). In addition to this, as with modern JumpShips, Primitive JumpShips will receive additional “weight-free” armor points per facing, based on their structural integrity values.

To this:

Primitive JumpShips use the rules and limits for standard WarShips when computing their armor values (see p. 152, SO), and may not mount any of the advanced armor types such as improved ferro-aluminum, ferro-carbide, or lamellor ferro-carbide. This means that the maximum tonnage of armor a Primitive JumpShip may carry is equal to the ship’s SI tonnage, divided by 50 (rounded down to the nearest half ton). In addition to this, as with modern WarShips, Primitive JumpShips will receive additional “weight-free” armor points per facing, based on their structural integrity values. All armor mounted on a Primitive JumpShip—including the “free” armor provided by the vessel’s structural integrity value—must be multiplied by 0.66, rounding down to the nearest whole number.

Change the Armor example on p131 from this:

Reviewing the Advanced Aerospace Unit Armor Table let’s David know that he could assign a maximum of 83 tons of standard armor to his ship [1,000 (SI mass) ÷ 12 = 83.33, rounded down to 83]. He does not believe he’ll need anything close to that, and so decides he’s going to assign only 69 tons of Primitive armor.
Before placing the armor, he first determines how much “weight-free” armor the Aquilla will receive in addition to this, which is 1 point of capital-scale armor per facing, for a total of 6 points [10 (SI) ÷ 10 = 1 per facing; 6 facings x 1 point per facing = 6 points].
David then multiplies the 69 tons of armor he has opted for by the standard Advanced Aerospace Unit Armor Weights for a 100,000-ton Inner Sphere JumpShip using standard armor, and finds that this yields 55 armor points [69 (armor tonnage) x 0.8 (standard armor for a 100,000 vessel) = 55.2, rounding down to 55]. He then adds the free 6 points to 55 for a total of 61. Multiplying this total armor value by the Primitive armor factor of 0.66, he finds he has 40 armor points to allocate [61 (non-Primitive armor points) x .66 (Primitive armor factor) = 40.26, rounding down to 40].
He thus assigns this armor as follows: 9 to the nose, 7 to each fore-side, 6 to each aft-side and 5 to the aft.
This leaves a running total of 66,909 tons.


To this:

Reviewing the Advanced Aerospace Unit Armor Table let’s David know that he could assign a maximum of 20 tons of standard armor to his ship [1,000 (SI mass) ÷ 50 = 20, no rounding required]. Even though this is a low amount, he decides he’s going to assign only 19 tons of Primitive armor.
Before placing the armor, he first determines how much “weight-free” armor the Aquilla will receive in addition to this, which is 1 point of capital-scale armor per facing, for a total of 6 points [10 (SI) ÷ 10 = 1 per facing; 6 facings x 1 point per facing = 6 points].
David then multiplies the 19 tons of armor he has opted for by the standard Advanced Aerospace Unit Armor Weights for a 100,000-ton Inner Sphere WarShip using standard armor, and finds that this yields 15 armor points [19 (armor tonnage) x 0.8 (standard armor for a 100,000 vessel) = 15.2, rounded down to 15]. He then adds the free 6 points to 16 for a total of 21. Multiplying this total armor value by the Primitive armor factor of 0.66, he finds he has 13 armor points to allocate [21 (non-Primitive armor points) x .66 (Primitive armor factor) = 13.86, rounding down to 13].
He thus assigns this armor as follows: 3 to the nose, 2 to each fore-side, 2 to each aft-side and 2 to the aft.
This leaves a running total of 66,859 tons.


p131, Step 5: Complete Record Sheet

Change the last two paragraphs of the Complete Record Sheet example on p131 from this:

David then adds 20 escape pods, at 7 tons a piece, for a total of 140 tons. All of this gives him a running total of 79,798.
Finally, David takes the remaining tonnage and assigns it into 2 cargo bays of 10,101 tons each, with a single door for each cargo bay.


To this:

David then adds 20 escape pods, at 7 tons a piece, for a total of 140 tons. All of this gives him a running total of 79,748.
Finally, David takes the remaining tonnage and assigns it into 2 cargo bays of 10,126 tons each, with a single door for each cargo bay.

Primitive Aerospace Small and Large Craft
Change from this:

Aside from the primitive prototype versions of the K-F Boom and Docking Collars found under Primitive Prototype Equipment (see pp. 117-120), the costs for all of the primitive forms of the various aerospace unit types that are larger than aerospace fighters (including small craft, DropShips, JumpShips, space stations, and WarShips) may be computed as normal for those unit types.
Even though primitive core aerospace components, such as jump drives and sails, are substantially different from their modern forms, many of these feature weight modifications and such that impact costs by default, and thus require no additional modification. Additionally, for cost purposes, all Primitive K-F jump drives are treated compact-core drives, rather than standard-core drives.

Thus, the cost for 10 tons of prototype
ferro-fibrous armor would be 600,000 C-bills (60,000 x 10 = 750,000).

Pretty sure that should read

p. 164, Dedicated Technical Officer:

This Initiative modifier is not cumulative if more than one superheavy tripod ’Mech is present.
Change to:
This Initiative modifier is not cumulative if more than one superheavy tripod ’Mech is present; in the case of multiple initiative bonuses due to multi-pilot setups (such as the force also having a cockpit command console), only the highest bonus applies.

Interstellar Operations, First printing and PDF

Pg. 192, Calculating the Battle Value for a Phoenix Hawk LAM (multiple issues, called out by line)

Standard Gyro: (0.5 multiplier) 55 x 0.5 = 27.5
Change to:
Standard Gyro: (0.5 multiplier) 50 x 0.5 = 25.0
REASON: This is a 50 ton 'Mech, not a 55 ton 'Mech

Total BV of all Defensive Equipment: 472
Change to:
Total BV of all Defensive Equipment: 469.5
REASON: Total wrong due to gyro calculation

Target Movement Modifier: +6 (1.6 defensive factor) 457
Change to:
Target Movement Modifier: +6 (1.6 defensive factor) 469.5
REASON: Total being multiplied is completely off

Defensive Battle Rating = 731.2
Change to:
Defensive Battle Rating = 751.2
REASON: Defensive rating was miscalculated due to all the issues listed above

LAM heat efficiency: (9 + 12 – 8) 13
Change to:
LAM heat efficiency: (9 + 12 + 3 – 8) 13
REASON: Does not account for the -3 while in AirMech mode (similar to the Partial Wing bonus)

Total heat generated: (8 + 3 + 3) 14
Change to:
Total heat generated: (8 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3) 20
REASON: Only accounted for 2 medium lasers while it has 4

Medium Laser 46
Change to:
Medium Laser 23
REASON: Last medium laser's BV is halved due to heat inefficiencies

271
Change to:
334
REASON: Math in the book was flat out wrong to begin with, but it would've been wrong anyways because of the incorrect heat calculation

271 x 3.00 = 651
Change to:
334 x 3.00 = 1002
REASON: Math in the book was once again completely wrong, but this accounts for all updates noted above

Offensive Battle Rating = 651
Change to:
Offensive Battle Rating = 1002
REASON: Updated value based on all corrections noted above

731.2 + 651 = 1382
Change to:
751.2 + 1002 = 1753
REASON: Updated value based on all corrections noted above

Phoenix Hawk LAM BV = 1382
Change to:
Phoenix Hawk LAM BV = 1753
REASON: Updated value based on all corrections noted above
