Brillant Lances: Errata Corrected Edition?

[Jeffr0]

I read (in issue 4 of MegaTraveller Journal if I recall it correctly) that there were three versions of MT. The last one were supposed to have all previous errata fixed. I have two sets of MT. One is in pristine shape, never played, and is riddled with errors. The other copy (very well used, almost falling to pieces) must obviously be a later version as most of the mistakes are corrected. But there are no clues as to which print run or version they are. So, when buying old games, for example on ebay, you never know what you'll get.

As for TNE there were actually errata corrected versions of the main rulebook, FF&S and Brilliant Lances. They are marked with: Mark 1, Mod 1 on the title page in the beginning of the book.

Can anyone confirm that this is true?

I can't wait to get home to check my copy. "Mark 1, Mod 1"

It is a pristine edition, so I won't get my hopes up....

I can confirm the TNE Core rules and TNE FF&S Mk1 Mod1; I had originals, a player in my group had Mk1 Md1, and all my pasted in erratta was already on his.

Seconded on the TNE core and FF&S. I've got copies of both and the errata is included. There was extra errata for FF&S post Mk1 Mod1. I haven't seen any mention of BL having an updated version. (Then again, I never saw that many copies available.)

Sigh.

I didn't see the revision text anywhere on my books or box; must not be revised...

Woah. Found this:

Well, in my copy of Brilliant Lances there's clearly stated Mark 1, Mod 1....

It's stated in one of the booklets as I recall, I'll check when I'm home from work.

Do you know where this post-Mk1, Mod 1 errata can be found?

It was in a few places. Part of it was the plasma upgrades in Challenge 76. Let's see...

Here it is over on Traveller Downport. This is the one I usually use.

Yeps, it's right there, in the "Rules of play" booklet, p.1: Mark 1, Mod 1 (february 1994)

You got my interest up and I went and checked the containers. I found both copies of TNE and both copies of FF&S. I found Battle Rider [1] and the Brilliant Lances box and no rule-book. The tech book was in the box. This surprises me because that's the one I'm more likely to have out. I now have a quest to sift through the other piles of books and find it.

There are extra clarifications and some minor expansions in books like RCEG and Striker II. It wouldn't be more than a few pages. We almost need to collate it together with the errata like DonM has done for MT.

[1] Battle Rider has a slip of paper of errata & corrections. It's about five lines on point values or some such.
