Chapter Three: Combat
Page 70, Combat Timing
Travellers may freely delay their action until later in the turn. The initiative roll simply indicates the first opportunity to act.
Page 74, Damage Effects
When characteristics have been eroded by damage, their DMs should be recalculated and the impaired DM is used until the damage is healed.
Page 74, Grappling
Change second sentence of last paragraph to: To grapple an enemy, the Traveller makes an opposed Melee (unarmed) check, using either their STR or DEX DM, against their target.
Page 75, Grappling
After ‘inflict damage equal to…’ say ‘This damage ignores any armour.
Page 75, Auto and Aiming

Page 75, Radiation
Change ‘anyone close to the firer, target and the line of fire in-between the two’ to simply ‘the target’
Chapter Four: Encounters and Dangers
Page 76, Falling
Armour does not protect against damage sustained from falling.
Chapter Five: Equipment
Page 94, Skill penalties
In second paragraph, change DM-2 to DM-1 and DM-4 to DM-2. Also state that not having the skill at all inflicts the usual DM-3 unskilled penalty instead.
Page 96, Self-Sealing
Only repairs minor damage - getting shot or stabbed is about the limit of the self-sealing capability to manage.
Page 106, Intellect Program
Intellect 3, TL 14, missingprice is Cr200000.
Page 101, Wafer Jacks
The Intelligence Interface does not use any Bandwidth, so all available Bandwidth may be used for Expert software. Swapping out software is done with physical media and is not possible in the heat of the moment.
Page 104, Using Computers
Add a line: A computer must be of a TL equal to or greater than that of the software in order to be able to run it, regardless of available Bandwidth.

Page 150, Sensor Target table
Swap column data (not column headings!) for Visual and Active Radar/Lidar – basically, active radar becomes better than visual.
Chapter Eight: Space Combat
Page 162, Close Range Combat
Dogfighting does not cost an action - it is automatic if two hostile vessels wish to interact at a close enough range. Thrust expenditure may be done once engaged, but is otherwise done at the usual time.
Escaping from a Dogfight is as simple as expending enough Thrust to move beyond Close Range.
Chapter Eleven: Trade
Page 207: Passage and Freight Costs Table
Freight payment is per ton.
Page 208, Mail
Mail deliveries are priced as a flat-rate, and the payment does not scale with distance.
