Errata::Striker


I (David "Hyphen" Jaques-Watson) have a copy of Striker Book 1 (3rd printing), Book 2, and Book 3 (both 4th printings). You can tell which version you have (of any Trav book) by looking at the back of the title page. Halfway down the page is a string of numbers. The first printing starts at number 1; subsequent reprints begin at a later number, which is the print version, eg.:

      3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10   11  12

means you have printing 3.


STRIKER ERRATA

The following errata have been found in the second printing of Striker.

This errata was included in the Striker boxed set as an individual sheet of paper.


Design Sequence Tables

On the notes to the CPR gun table, the tech level modifiers for HE penetration are wrong. Count down one row for each two tech levels above 6, as stated in Book 3.

The tac missile propellant table has been changed, as shown at right [now below]. Increase the weight multiplier by .1 for every km of range over 4.

     PROPELLANT TABLE
     Range     Weight Multiplier
     1         x1
     1.5       x1.5
     2         x2
     2.5       x2.25
     3         x2.5
     3.5       x2.75
     4         x3

Book 2

In Rule 75, Naval Vessels, the Striker armour rating corresponding to a High Guard armour rating of zero should be 40, not 60.

Book 3

Grav generators are available starting at tech level 8.

In Design Sequence 2, CPR Guns, it should be stated that the effects of illum and chaff rounds last for two turns.

In Design Sequence 9, Tac Missiles, it should be stated that all tac missiles have a signature DM of +2.

The characteristics of grav modules as given in Design Sequence 10, Drone Missiles and Vehicles, are wrong. Each kilogram of grav module costs Cr50, has a volume of .0005 cubic metres, and produces 25 kilograms of thrust.

In Design Sequence 11, Aircraft, the agility formula should be altered. Instead of the term MS/100, substitute the direct fire hit DM (from the combat tables) corresponding to the aircraft's maximum speed.

Note that aircraft agility in Striker is not the same as agility in High Guard. To find a spacecraft's Striker agility, determine its maximum speed by checking its High Guard agility against the grav speed table; then use the aircraft agility formula.
