((As for the ETA on the errata, there's a topic on people debating it. http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=12828.0))

On page 368 it says "For availability and prices of purchasing Fake SINs, see p. 367.", but no such information exists on page 367.

Page 68/71 paragraph that is split:

By an explicit reading of the rules, a Mystic Adept may not start with Assensing because you can only take Assensing if you have Astral Perception but a Mystic Adept doesn't acquire adept powers until step 7 (whihc is after getting skills).

((Except that it's not a strict step-by-step process, as made clear by the way Exceptional Attribute works.))

Page 205 says "as the defense part of the Opposed Test. Drones roll their Pilot + Autosoft [Handling]" but no where in the book says which Autosoft that is.

Page 234, under Control Device, it mention the required amount of marks for each type of action:  "1 mark for Free Actions, 2 marks for Simple Actions" etc.. but it doesn't mention interrupt actions. So either interrupt action was left out accidentally or a device under Control Device can't do a Full Defense (as Control Device overrides autopilot), also it is not clear by RAW if a Controlled Device uses the controller reaction + intuition for defense.

I'm not sure it's an errata but there is an Electronic Warfare autosoft but there isn't any test a drone can do that actually uses it...
Edit: I just found out a use for Electronic Warfare Autosoft: The Radio signal scanner Sensor (p 446).

As discoursed in this thread(http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=13715.15), it's not clear when a Control Device is considered free to be controlled by someone else.

The specific Autosoft may be dependent on circumstances.  In general I believe drones are intended to use the Evasion Autosoft.

((Maneuver, as far as I know. Evasion is stated to be against Targeting.))

((Also, seems reasonable that only an autopilot and a rigger can use Full Defense. The controller might be able to use their own Full Defense instead.))

It is very reasonable, I just wish it was written like that in a faq at least...
Also, when you use Full Defense, does it apply to all your controlled devices or just one? and how many marks is required for a Full Defense on a device?

Control Device page 238 mention Standard action, the type of actions are only Simple, Complex, Free and Interrupt.. there is no Standard Action in the book.

The Raven mentor spirit gives 1.5 power points worth of powers to Adepts, in the form of Traceless Walk and Voice Control 1. All other mentor spirits give .5 power points. Traceless walk should be removed, as Voice Control 1 is .5 power points.

It's been brought up before - there's no certainty that it's an error, given the nature of the disadvantage..  I'd suggest starting up a discussion on the subject if you want to go into it.

At best it was intentional to give him those two powers but an error of power point cost; the writer thought both were .25 powers. There is no good reason one mentor spirit should have a 1 power point advantage over the rest and I doubt that factor was intended.
