Hi Folks,
I am currently translating the Runner's Black Book in french, which forces me to look into details. Here is the list of issues we spotted in MilSpecTech. Not all of them are new issues, many were already reported in various threads of this forum (thanks to the posters by the way). And yes, some of them are nitpicking
Introduction:I assume that
Info Sante’ is instead
Info Santé.Ferrari “Appaloosa”:One shadowtalker (Orbital DK) mentions that its interior is much better than a standard military vehicle whereas it has
Amenities (Squatter) which is lower than the standard value for vehicle (Low, as per Arsenal p131). In fact this is the lowest possible amenities, equivalent to a bus or cargo plane. I assume I should read
Amenities (Middle) which is the level just above the standard level (or eventually
Amenities (Low) if we consider that military vehicule are not comfortable)
The last shadowtalker is Slamm-O! (with a letter). I assume he is Slamm-0! (figure 0)
Krupp Phoenix MK VI:* used in table but not referenced in text below should likely be
* vs. people/ vs. vehiclesIzom MT-87J Torpedo:The last shadowtalker is Slamm-O! (with a letter). I assume he is Slamm-0! (figure 0)
Ares Demonfire:The AP is listed as
-2/-5 without any explanation. I assume it is
vs. people/ vs. vehicles.
Federated-Boeing Unicorn:It is equipped with
Adaptive Programming which does not exist. I assume the author meant
Adaptability AutosoftFederated-Boeing Woodstock & Marine Technologies Ahuitzotl:They are equiped with
Reduced Signature which I does not seem to exist. I assume the author meant
Signature Masking.
Hawker-Siddley Huitzilopochtli:It is branded
Hawker-Siddley in the title but
Aztechnology before the statistics block. I assume I must use
Hawker-Siddley everywhere, as it is done for the Mixcoatl.
On top of these points, there are some mismatches between the drawings and the description of some vehicles. The following points are present in the drawings (with specific text) but not in the statistics. I guess they should not be all added, but it may be better for the reader to explain that some other versions of the vehicles exist with those modifications:
GMC MPUV: Searchlight, Winch, optional Weapon Mount (external, turret, manned)
LAV-98 “Devil Rat”: Searchlight, Smoke Generator, Weapon Mount should be a turret instead of flexible.
LAV-103 “Stricker”: Searchlight, Smoke generator
