Also still griping about the F44AA. Wrote a different thread about it. Damage should NOT be 2. An AK 4047 or 10mm Explosive Tip caseless M41A doing as much damage as a 5MM shot from an F44AA? No way.

 
I don't believe the game's damage values represent the different exact weapon's calibers, but an abstract capacity of inflicting damage... Be it by rate of fire, projectile velocity, or some other variables. For example, the F44AA, with its much larger magazine, may well be able to fire 5mm bullets at twice the rate of an M41A, but on the other hand, that makes it prone to jamming and malfunctions, and that's why it got replaced by the more trusty M41A.

On an anecdotal note, IIRC, the M41A was also prone to jamming when its magazine was totally full (99). That's why Colonial Marines usually removed some bullets from the magazines before inserting them.

Quotes at the bottom of p75 and p127 are attributed to "CE Marcus Parker", but the character's name is Dennis Parker.

It would be super-useful to have a conversion table somewhere for 1e virulence ratings!

I've been trying to prep Destroyer of Worlds for Evolved Edition, which has virulence ratings between 3 and 10. The only one listed in the core book is neomorphic motes (9 in first edition, -2 in Evolved). I'm working with the idea that ≤3 is a normal STAMINA roll, 4-6 becomes -1, 7-9 is -2, and 10+ is -3, but something more definitive would be great.

Point of clarification... pg 73 of CRB. " If you have rolled a result of 9 or higher on a panic roll during a game session, make an Empathy roll after the session. Roll for the attribute only, not using any skill. The roll cannot be pushed. If the roll fails, you develop a mental trauma of some kind."

What constitutes a pass or fail? How many successes? etc...

There doesn’t seem to be a way to get knocked out in the Critical Injury system. Maybe the “Concussion” and “Cracked Skull” results could force a Stamina roll to stay conscious? Not a big issue regardless, just a little strange it can’t happen.

p97: Autodoc description, "surgerys" - should be "surgeries".

Also, to clarify, does the MEDICAL AID skill from the Medpod/Autodoc replace a character's MEDICAL AID skill (i.e., do they add their Empathy), or are the rolls made only with the dice specified by the equipment?

What constitutes a pass or fail? How many successes? etc...

Unless very specifically excepted, a single six is a successful check.

P77, Radiation: The second paragraph tells you to "Check off the rad boxes on your character sheet." The Evolved sheet doesn't have rad boxes, just a single space to record Radiation.

Basically, they should all be in title case, and should appear in the same order as the sections they point to, and should point to the correct pages where those sections appear.

p. 219, Praetorian paragraph says that a Praetorian is "[t]he penultimate form of an alien Soldier," but I don't see any final form listed thereafter. Should "penultimate" be "ultimate"?

Also, that sentence starts off with a singular subject ("The penultimate form of an alien Soldier") but then switches to plural subjects ("Praetorians grow up to twice the height of their brethren"). It'd be better if recast as, "The penultimate form of an alien Soldier, a Praetorian may grow up to twice the height of its brethren."
