Errata Scouts

This AAB page collects errata for Scouts, part of the Classic Traveller literary corpus.

• This is a specific Errata page.

Description (Specifications)

The following Errata has been copied from the various Errata's that have been compiled over the years.

• Some errata was included in the second printing. The specific changes are shown in italic type.

Page	Heading	Description	Type
Page 14	Scout Skill Tables, Special or War Mission	Die roll result 1 should be Hunting (replacing Equestrian in this one instance).	Correction
Page 24	Continuation Star System Generation Checklist	Paragraph 12.C should read, “If outer zone, DM –4. If size 0 or S, then atmosphere 0. If habitable zone +2, throw 12 for A.”; paragraph 12.D should read, “Hydrographics: 2D−7+atmosphere. If inner zone, then 0; if outer zone, DM –2”; paragraph 12.E should read, “If outer zone, DM –3. If not atmosphere 5, 6 or 8, DM −2.”; paragraph 14.C should read, “If size 1−, then 0. If habitable zone +2, throw 12 for A.”; paragraph 14.D should read, “Hydrographics: 2D−7+satellite atmosphere; paragraph 14.E should read, “if size 4–, DM –2”.	Corrections
Page 25	Basic Star System Generation Checklist, step 5D	Paragraph 5.D should read, “Main world hydrographics: 2D−7+atmosphere”.	Correction
Page 26	Size, Description	The average diameter of an S-digit small world should be 1,000km.	Correction
Page 28	System Features table	Change the Primary Type result for a 10 to “G”. Change all Primary Size results of VI and D to V. Change the Companion Size results 5-11 to “V”. Under Primary Star Type and Size, if a mainworld has already been created, and has an atmosphere of 4-9 or population 8+, the modifier should be +5.	Correction
Page 28	Planetary Orbits table	The first heading column should read “million km” rather than “000 km”. An extended version of this table appears as the Orbital Distances table on page 46.	Correction
Page 31	Table of Zones, Orbit Zones for Star Size III, IV, and V	Remove the entries from all three tables for star types B0 and B5.	Correction
Page 33	Expanded Star System Generation Checklist	Paragraph 4.C should read, “If outer zone, DM –4. If size 0 or S, then atmosphere 0. If habitable zone +2, throw 12 for A.”; paragraph 4.D should read, “Hydrographics: 2D−7+atmosphere. If inner zone, then 0; if outer zone, DM –2”; paragraph 4.E should read, “If not atmosphere 5, 6 or 8, DM −2.”; paragraph 6.C should read, “If size 1-, then 0. If habitable zone +2, throw 12 for A.”; paragraph 6.D should read Hydrographics: 2D−7+satellite atmosphere. If inner zone, then 0; if outer zone, DM –2; paragraph 6.E should include: if size 4–, DM –2.	Correction
Page 35	World Generation, World Size	This should read, “if orbit 2, DM –2”.	Correction
Page 36	World Generation, Hydrographics	This should read, “Determine hydrographics with 2D−7+atmosphere”.	Correction
Page 36	World Generation, Satellite Generation, Satellite Orbits	The next to last sentence should read, “Thus, the first throw is without a DM, the second has a DM of +1, the third has a DM of +2, etc.”	Correction
Page 37	Satellite Generation, Atmosphere	This should read. “If the world is at least two orbits beyond the habitable zone, throw 2D for 12 exactly and if successful, atmosphere type is A”.	Correction
Page 37	Satellite Generation, Hydrographics	This should read, “Determine the percentage of water on the surface of the satellite with 2D−7+satellite atmosphere. If inner zone, then 0; if size 0–, then 0”.	Correction
Page 37	Satellite Generation, Population	This should read, “If inner zone, DM –5. If outer zone, DM –4”.	Correction
Page 39	Background Material, Gas Giants	The information is stated as radius, when it should be diameter. The Minimum Diameter for small gas giants is 20,000 km; for large gas giants, 60,000 km. The Maximum Diameter for small gas giants is 59,999 km; for large gas giants, 120,000 km.	Correction
Page 39	Background Material, Small Worlds	The addition of the code S to refer to small worlds allows for the existence of planets or satellites with a diameter less than 800 kilometers. They range in size from 200 to 799 kilometers in diameter (1D +1 times 100 kilometers) if adventurers journey to one.	Correction
Page 43	Planetary Data, World Volume	The formula should read V = (R/8)3.	Correction
Page 43	Planetary Data, World Mass	The formula should read M=K(R/8)3.	Correction
Page 46	Formulae for Orbital Period and Distance	Should have the following formulae: P= (D3/M).5 D= (MP2).33	Correction
Page 47	first column, Criteria for Orbit Zones	The temperatures are in degrees C, not K.	Correction
Page 47	second column, Formulae for World Temperature and Distance	Replace the formula for D with D= L.5(KG(1-A)/T)2.	Correction
Page 48	first column, Axial Tilt	Change references to Temperature to Luminosity and references to world temperature to stellar luminosity. See the correction for page 50 for instructions.	Correction
Page 48	second column, Eccentricity	Change references to Temperature Change to Luminosity Change. Remove decimal points in the second and third columns of the table. See the correction for page 50 for instructions.	Correction
Page 50	Axial Tilt, second paragraph	Replace the second paragraph with the following: The axial tilt table indicates the percent luminosity change for the local star for the purpose of world temperature calculation. Average summer and winter temperature can be calculated by recomputing local temperature using revised luminosity.	Correction
Page 50	Orbital Eccentricity Effects, second paragraph	Replace the second paragraph with the following: The eccentricity table shows percent luminosity change for the star when the planet is at apastron (farthest from the star) and at periastron (closest to the star).	Correction
