Note: the following errata was put together by Stuart Elle . Many thanks! ------------ Miscellaneous Score Formula Errata During the writing and editing of the Second Edition of the Heavy Gear Technical Manual, a couple of mistakes were left in the book due to a lack of proper editing time. While the typos themselves are hard to correct, some of the other errors can be fixed. The Vehicle Construction System on pages 68-145 allows you to build practically any type of vehicles you wish to incorporate in the game. To make this easier, we used a rewritten chapter we had put together for Jovian Chronicles, since it was cleaner and better explained the whole design process. We did, however, fail to correct the Miscellaneous Score formula (page 133) to reflect the one normally used in Heavy Gear. As a result, Threat Values will not correspond to previously published ones. You should thus replace the last two lines of the formula on page 133 with this one: (Sensor Score + Comm Score + Perks & Flaws Total) squared Note that the construction guide sheet on page 109 is correct, though "+" and "=" signs were dropped during the typesetting process. You can get a corrected version in .PDF format in the Funhouse on this Web site. ------------ Missing Weapons Due to a typesetting error, a number of weapons were dropped from the main weapon list. We did not notice it until too late in the printing process because these are specialized weapons that were used only for a few designs. These weapons came from the Duelist Handbook (DP9-005), Tactical Field Support (DP9-016) and Tactical Air Support (DP9-008). Items missing from the Close Combat Weapons Table on page 77.
