I hope I have a list of these "new wordings" that I need to write.
Yesterday, the ADD gained an offensive fire capability (against drones and shuttles/fighters) and the ability to shoot at suicide shuttles.

Only suicide shuttles, or shuttles in the generic term (i.e. stingers)
[edit] NVM - I missed the 'fighters' bit, doh.

Reading the above, I'd guess it can be used offensively against fighters, and defensively against suicide shuttles. I think there's no way it can be used defensively against a fighter as they'll not impact....  |

Just out of interest why the ADD change, it was only 6 months ago that most people posting here thought ADDs were fine vs drones - though some were concerned about BoM fighters.
What happened in those months to result in the change? |

They are in the big list of things I sent.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the new book finished!
Is the format going to be the same, with new sections marked with a star, or will everything be re-written and integrated so that no sections will be marked for attention?

New items (which I believe will include both rev5 items and newer rev6 items) will again be marked with a star.
That said, I have tried to go back and identify situations where the "starred" item changed something in the original rule. In those cases, I have sent line items that would hopefully integrate the new note into the original rule, eliminating any potential contradiction. Two examples are (5L3) and (5D6b). I expect that even in such cases, the star will be wedged in somehow.

Well, first, the change being made here is very different from the change requested in the linked thread. While I am sure Hod will like the change (as ADDs can now fire at shuttles), it still falls short of his request.
Second, ADDs, while working fine in their original role, are extremely limited. The point of this change is to make ADD racks into more of a useful weapon so that they are a "real" secondary system, rather than serving primarily as "padding" for drone racks.
As for why now? I don't know. I guess it just seemed like a good time.

Actually, I had missed two of them. I have sent them in, so they should get addressed.

Great, thanks! Can't wait for the new revision (I'll be buying both an e23 and a printed copy)!

I sure wish those starred items could be integrated more normally into the text.
I'm wondering if there is any other easy way to let the user know the changes without breaking the continuity of the rules with those starred sentences.

Most of the "stars" are pure additions (meaning additional information/clarification, not new rules). As such, putting them on the bottom is as good a place as any. There really are not that many spots where the "star" needs to be more fully integrated. (About a half dozen or so.)
And I think I have noted all of them for Steve. It is still up to him to agree/disagree with my suggestions. But I have noted them.

I don't have an email with two new items, Mike.

I just resent them.
