(309.0) The cost of the Federation NCD is incorrect. The example shows that the cost is 5+3, however Drone ships without special sensors were changed to base hull + 2. These costs were changed prior to the 2010 rules, but the example was not caught during production. The example should be changed to read: See SIT for specified drone ship costs.

(505.31) three more by sending some or all of the three CVLs should read three (four‡) more by sending some or all of the three CVLs and COV‡... (505.31) was not updated to include the COV being a converted GSC when the rules were updated. Thomas Mathews 25 Mar 2015

By Kevin Howard (Jarawara) on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 - 02:02 pm: Edit

I seem to recall that the upper limit of GSC's were NOT increased, so one of the four on-map GSC's (3 CVL, 1 COV) could not go off map to survey.

I don't know where that was said or written, but until found Thomas's updates above should not be implemented without an official ruling from FEAR or from Chuck.

Quote:

FROM F&E2KX:
(505.30) NUMBER: The number of survey ships in operation for
each empire is:
Federation .............. 7
Klingons ................. 2 (operate from Lyran territory)
Romulans ............... 0
Kzintis .................... 3
Gorns ..................... 2
Tholians ................. 0
Hydrans.................. 3
Lyrans .................... 3
ISC‡ ....................... 8
Scouts cannot be used as survey cruisers; exception
(505.32).

FROM CO:
(505.31) FEDERATION: The Federation can increase its survey
ships by up to three more by sending some or all of the three
CVLs (which represent converted survey ships) to the Federation
off-map area. They take their fighters with them.

(521.63) FEDERATION COV: This ship is an addition to
the Order of Battle. The Federation can only have one of
them at any given time. It has EW capabilities listed on the
SIT. It can be sent off map for use as a survey ship in
addition to the survey ships already there.

FROM SO:
(700.2) UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS

2nd FLEET: (Off Map): one APT. The seven existing survey ships
are five GSCs and two CLSs. (This does not include
the three CVLs and one COV which the Federation historical
brings on map. The Federation could chose to
leave some of those four ships and take some of the
other seven instead, but there is no benefit to doing so.)

By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 - 02:59 pm: Edit

Last sentence of 542.26 from SO:

"The Federation has "credit" for the infrastructure costs of the four survey ships sent off the map, but must pay for the three extra ships above that limit."

This seems to imply the 3CVL and COV have credit for the infrastructure, and that three more infrastructure slots can be purchased in addition.

By Kevin Howard (Jarawara) on Thursday, March 26, 2015 - 10:04 am: Edit

Yep, it's clear now. Thank you Chuck. My objections are removed, and Thomas's updates are correct as written.

(505.32) 6119 should read: 6118 and 6119. Both hexes are connected to the Romulan off-map area and (542.25) states both 6118 and 6119 can be used to enter the Romulan off-map area. Thomas Mathews 28 Mar 2015

(203.742) Perhaps it was intentional but this rule was not modified by the errata for this rule from the F&E Master Errata file. The errata in that file has the following text: ‘Consider this rule to refer to “units” instead of “ships”.’ A detailed explanation for the reason for the errata appears in Captain’s Log #32 on page 88 in the “Reserve Auxiliary Movement” paragraph. I believe that by changing “ships” to “units” in (203.7421) it will implement this errata. Jeffrey Coutu 25 Jul 2015

(756.0) Add “swarms‡” to the list of non-ship units. Per the F&E Master Errata file swarms are non-ship units. Jeffrey Coutu 25 Jul 2015
