CT Ship Errata Discussion : Scout/Courier and Seeker

[boomslang]

From what I see, the errata for the Seeker is as follows:

1. for Supplement 7, the two ore bays are 9 tons each, not 10 tons.

Since it's all payload, when interpreting the specified modifications I typically lose two of the staterooms, 10 dtons of fuel that would otherwise support Jump, and then shave the 3 dton cargo hold to 1 dton (since the original cargo hold isn't explicitly mentioned in the Seeker write-up); thus preserving the 2 x 10 dtons ore bay capacity.

Also, for the fussiest of SPA inspectors (and borrowing from HG2), you can even fit 100 dtons worth of L-Hyd drop tank supports (do not waste money and displacement on buying the actual tanks); then you can defensibly claim that your operating fuel profile (J plus PP) meets Imperial safety regulations despite being technically 10 dtons short when you do not have L-Hyd mounted (which, frankly, will be most of the time anyway).

Since we're looking at errata for Book 2, we really cannot borrow from HG.

Hey, that works, and the only errata then is reducing the cargo bay from 3 tons to 1 ton!

Actually, I found another difference... the Seeker does NOT have a pulse laser, it has a mining laser ("equal to a pulse laser minus 1"). Looks like this was MCr0.3.
