p4 (I think). Just because I'm a little OCD, I notice Hero Traveller is missing from the list of prior editions which (as I understand it) was an official licence and not just a fan project. Should be between GT and MgT.
Also, same page, there is some random text right at the top of the page...

page 66 and 44 list Risk and Reward as "Str Int"; checklist on page 53 lists "Str C2 C3 Int"

page 66 lists Enlisted Promotion as "Str" with Medals and WB mods; checklist on 53 lists it as "C2" with WB mods only

Functionary Issue
page 67 lists To Begin as "Auto"; page 53 lists it a Total Terms x3
page 67 lists Office Politics as "C2 C3 Int C5"; page 53 lists it as "Str C2 C3 Int"
(I believe the discrepancy between the May Continue and Must Continue in these locations has already been mentioned)

Revisting Gunmaker:
Some clarification of the portability terms and criteria would be helpful. Does "Fixed" indicate something constructed on site or is this a towed or otherwise transported piece incapable of moving on its own? "Vehicle Mount" and "Turret" seem reversed regarding mass; "Turret" mass falls in a range that could describe a ring mount or perhaps an aircraft turret, while "Vehicle Mount" could describe either a tank's main gun or a limited traverse self-propelled artillery piece (and even so, the weight given for this tops out at 1000 kg and seems a bit light).

40-41: Trade School skills unclear
On page 41, left side, Trade Schools paragraph:
It says that the education is in "generally non-academic" skills. But, there's no definition of non-academic that I can find.
I thought it might show on page 40 in the available skills table (and above). But, no luck, unless all those columns titled "School" are for trade schools.

45: Begin target (and others) unclear
On page 45, left side, the To Begin section:
It says to roll the begin target. But, it doesn't tell where to find that. Other target numbers are unclear as well.
I recommend adding a sentence to the Target Numbers section on page 33 explaining that all target numbers are defined in the tables on pages 52-53 and pages 55-67.

49: Unusable row 1?
On page 49, in all the tables:
It appears there is no way to the row 1 entry in most of the tables, because everybody has had at least 1 term.
The only tables that could actually get a roll of 1 are:
Scholar $
Entertainer $
Merchant Benefits
Agent Benefits
Functionary Benefits
Scout, Spacer, Soldier, and Marine Benefits
For all other columns, I'm not sure whether the columns should be shifted down a row, or if row 1 should simply be cleared. This may require discussion in the errata discussion thread.

The Combat chapter heading needs to be on Page 176 which contains some pretty vital parts of the combat system not on page 177. I missed it for quite a while because it's in the Senses-Awareness chapter.
12: Missing comma?
On page 12, in the section with wide paragraphs at the top, in the 3rd wide paragraph, last sentence, it reads
... also called the DM Dungeon Master, ...
I believe there should be a command between DM and Dungeon Master.
... also called the DM, Dungeon Master, ...
Also, I noticed this style in some section headings, like "RDME Rich Decision Making Environment" on page 21. In headings, I think there should be a colon, but in sentences like on page 12, a comma.
Another way is Abbreviate The Phrase (ATP).
Recommend this be looked at throughout the document, but it's not a show-stopper.

p.357 truncated word
under Remote Sensors at the bottom of the page:
Disposable. A disposable version of the Sensor suitable for one-time use is one-ten standard cost.
I believe one-ten is supposed to be one-tenth

p.502 CommPlus
In the sensors sections CommPlus is noted as TL 15, as well as on the Technology-5 chart on p.506, but on the Technology-1 chart on p.502 is is listed as TL 13
Needs to be changed to TL 15 or stated as prototype to avoid confusion.
