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

  • This is a specific Errata page.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

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 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
