Page 93, under Weapon Features, top of the 2nd column:

"magazine is empty and the weapons needs to be
reloaded (full action, 1 supply)."

It looks like "weapons" needs to be made singular "weapon".

Page 94, under Lumin Rifle:

1. In the description "coriolites" is not capitalized. It looks like it is capitalized in all the other areas I remember seeing it used.

2. In the description the Lumin Rifle is described as an Heirloom Tech, but in the stat block it says it is "G*(M)".

Page 95, under Fusillard Cricket and Fusillard Revolver:

Fusillard Cricket looks like a Derringer-esque pistol, but it doesn't have "low capacity" under features. Fusillard Revolver does have "low cap" under features. I was wondering if maybe "low cap" was needing to be moved off of Fusillard Revolver and placed on Fusillard Cricket? At least it seems like it should be a Fusillard Cricket feature.

It seems redundant to me for there to be two specialties for the odd jobber that provide Barter as the free talent. None of the other professions have a duplicated free talent

Page 108, under Rovers, Drive Systems:

"More advanced rovers have a graviton
projectors
, letting them hover over the ground."

Singular/plural issue: Looks like it should either be:
"have a graviton projector" or "have graviton projectors".

Perhaps one of them was supposed to be "Charmer" instead?
Regardless, I'd really like to see more difference between the Esoteric's and the Odd Jobber's Key Talents
Esoteric = Key Talents: Barter, Con Artist, Cultural Savant, Streetwise
Odd Jobber = Key Talents: Charmer, Con Artist, Cultural Savant, Streetwise

Page 47,

i find it a realy stange, that rolls with a "Child's Play" difficulty still have a failure chance wich never gets below 84% or less then 1/10 if Talent and Attribute are maxed out, without pushing. Maybee, something like: remove the "Child's Play" difficulty entirely, add the +3 Modifier to effortless and state something like, "Rotine tasks should never require a dice roll. Not even under stress".

At least for me, this would make Talent values more Valueable. As the GM can alway judge the Difficulties with Talent values.

A general Aproach could also to suggest something like, maybe as optional Role.
Depending on the talent value, some tasks are Rotine. This is reflected in the difficulty of the task.
Talent Value 2: "Child's Play"
Talent Value 3: "Effortless"

Are you talking about the crew maneuvers? If so, they are limited.

Page 52: "Maneuvers are limited to one use during the entire engagement." Hope it helps. Edit: It's also restated on page 57 under Crew Maneuvers.
On page 57 it says:
"Crew maneuvers are limited to one use in each combat, per maneuver".

So each maneuver can be used once per engagement. Therefore, a party of 5 will potentially able to spam 20 maneuvers per engagement as free actions. It's clearly an issue and creates a very toxic gameplay.

Page 19 Attributes. Would be real nice to have the baseline for normal humans - is it 4 like the PCs, or lower? (The normal man reference helps contextualize the attributes.

Page 22, §Name and Appearance, line three: "names –you" should have a space after the hyphen as well, since it's being used as a parenthetical marker instead of as a word break or a concatenation.

Page 31 specialties table - it was pasted in twice in the same spot, one over the other. Only noticeable with screenreaders or by Copy and Paste.
