Two typos not in the Core Rulebook but on the Game Mother Screen.
1. On the top right-hand corner of the central panel : it should read "Zeta2 Reticuli" instead of "Zeta2 Reticule" (i instead of e).
2. On the bottom left-hand corner of the right panel : it should read "Execute command" instead of "Excute command" (missing e).

Not sure if it's a typo but the species names in Latin should be in italics: Plagiarus praepotens, Manumala noxhydria, etc.

Don't know if this was already mentioned, but there are a few missing pieces of information in Chapter 2, Developing Your Character:

Page 33, Company Agent. Appearance Table is missing number 4. xx, as well as the Gear Table, number 2. xx and 3. xx
Page 37, Pilot, Appearance Table is missing number 4. xx

Page 140 - You have the "Executive Officer" in overall command for space combat. This should be the ships "Captain". The executive officer or XO is usually the second in command. Kane vs Dallas.

Another error spotted, although minor. On page 88 with the G2 grenade (the handheld variant), it doesn't state that it does stun damage. Obviously this can easily be inferred from the text about the U1 launcher, but still an easily fixable error.

I am on session 2 of running the new rules in a long term campaign. The only feedback I have atm is that I think the stress rules are still more suited for a dungeon crawl/short rest tactical map situation than they are for long term campaign play, which has meant I have kept my homebrewed 6s vs 1s system which provided more drama for my players. I am also using my own ammo rules.

Beyond that I am using everything. Calling it unplayable would be to call the original game unplayable for the same reason.

Discrepency - Page 200

On page 200, Thedus is noted within the flavor text as "originally mistaken for a small gas giant due to its thick and cloudy atmosphere." However, in the table below it notes that the climate is "thin atmosphere". This is in the original core book as well. Perhaps this is due to terraforming or further investigation of the planet. But it appears these two details conflict.

Love the new look and layout, and new material!

The quote from Dillon on p.68 says “that all you BITE” instead of “that all you GOT”
I always thought it was, "is that all you fight"

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, but I noticed discrepancies between the weapon descriptions in chapter 5 and the table in the back. Specifically the base damage of the M4A3 Service Pistol and the VP-70MA6 Service Pistol, which in chapter 5 are both 1, and in the table are both 2.

I also notice that the stats in chapter 5 for the Armat Model 37A2 12 Gauge Pump action includes "Armor +1" which is missing from the table in the back of the book. I suspect that it was meant to be omitted, since adding +1 to armor doesn't make any sense (why not just lower the damage?), unless the intent is that the +1 only applies if the target has at least some armor on (which still seems silly).
