Error in Triplanetary Rules? (Kickstarter)

Dirk Desiato · 01-23-2018, 07:28 PM

Hello! I am a backer of the Triplanetary Kickstarter and I just reviewed the 2018rules pdf. I think that the cost and mass for Nukes are reversed in the Equipment tables. Shouldn't they be 300MCr and a mass of 20? the correct mass is on page 6.

Also Scanners and Robot Guards might be reversed too?

Yes, and so was Automated Mine. I see what I did there and THANK you for backstopping me.

My pleasure Sir. I am very excited about this game! Just me being a good Space Pirate... er, fan!

In version 2 of the rules, there appears to be an error on p5. It looks like Figure 8 has B and it's vector in separate hexes.

The vector shown is for ship A. The B shows only the location of ship B - its vector does not matter in the example.

I have a question about something in the rules. Page 13 in the 'Prospecting' scenario.
In the paragraph 'Ships' it says that the players begin the game with Mcr 25 to purchase ships and other stuff and that freighters and packets are the only ones available.
I don't see 'freighter' as being one of the ships in the game. Is it the same as 'frigate' or a completely different ship type?

Ooo, glitch. Freghter = transport. Definitely not frigate, which is a warship. Thank you.

You're welcome. I saw that a few months ago and it slipped my mind until last night when I was re-reading the rules pdf.

I see shipping looks like it will begin today so I was wonder Will the physical copy of the game contain that error or?

On page 7 In the paragraph titled planetary bases it reads “Io and Callisto have only one base each...”. Though the map shows Callisto with 6. Ganymede is not mentioned in the rules and it displays one base in the map.
